A little update from Breakthrough TLC 💛

Due to a change in circumstances and new work commitments, I’ll sadly no longer be offering tutoring from September onwards.

I just want to say a huge thank you to all the families who have supported Breakthrough TLC over the years. It’s been such a privilege to work with so many amazing children and young people, and I’m incredibly grateful for all your support, kindness and recommendations along the way.

As I begin to wind things down over the coming months, I know some families may still be looking for tuition from September. If any local tutors are currently taking on new students, please feel free to comment below or message the page with details of the subjects/ages you cover so I can potentially signpost families where helpful.

Thank you again for all your support — it has truly meant a lot 💛

Like many people locally, I’ve been thinking about the children, families and staff connected to The Promise School; I can only imagine how unsettled things might feel right now.

I've been trying to think of a way to help and have created a small bank of visual, activity-based regulation resources that could be used as support for children and young people (ages 4–16).

I've purposely kept it simple and designed it to be a set of grab-and-go practical activities students can use to regulate, release energy, or reset when everything feels a bit much. There’s no “how to parent” in it – just straightforward tools children and young people can use independently or alongside you.

My hope is that this offers something steady and helpful during a time that may feel quite uncertain, and that it takes just a tiny bit of pressure off at home.

👉 You can download the PDF here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAHCIN-ifls/hK7mvX65iRCHhtB-jXfS2g/edit?utm_content=DAHCIN-ifls&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

I’ll also be printing a small number of copies for families who don’t have access to a printer – if that would genuinely help, just send me a message.

If you’re a parent who’s feeling overwhelmed, please know you’re not alone - reach out if you need to. I'm happy to help where I can.

Sending lots of care to everyone affected 💛

Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas 🎄

I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported Breakthrough Tuition & Life Coaching in its first year — whether you’ve shared posts, recommended me, or trusted me to work with your child. It truly means so much.

I’ve genuinely loved working with families and young people this year, and I’m so grateful for the support along the way.

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas filled with rest, fun, and time together — and a gentle reminder to be kind to yourselves and each other ❤️. See you all in 2026!

🌿 Hello from Breakthrough Tuition and Life Coaching! 🌿

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted — life has been full of tutoring, mum life, and working away on some exciting new learning support materials! 💻✨

These resources are being designed for home-educated learners or for parents who’d like to give their child a little extra support at home — and I can’t wait to share more soon!

I’m also really pleased to announce that from the end of November, I’ll be opening up a couple of new small-group online sessions for home-educated students on🕓 Wednesday mornings.

These will be affordable, small group sessions — ideal for building confidence, developing skills, and keeping learning fun and engaging in a supportive online environment. Starting dates are still to be confirmed, but if you're interested, please get in touch to find out more.

My after-school 1:1 sessions are currently full, but I do have a waiting list if you’d like to be notified when spaces become available.

I currently tutor KS2 and KS3, and support a few GCSE learners too — helping each child discover what they’re capable of and feel proud of their progress 🌱

If you’d like updates about the new group sessions or upcoming resources, feel free to send me a message — I’d love to keep you in the loop!

✨ Back to School – A Reminder for Parents and Students ✨

As children head back to school, it’s natural for both parents and students to worry:
❓ “How are they doing compared to others?”
❓ “Are they ahead, behind, or keeping up?”

But here’s the truth: education isn’t a race. Every child learns at their own pace, in their own way, and on their own timeline.

I know this from my own journey.
At primary school, I was told I’d never be academic.
At secondary school, I was told I wouldn’t pass my GCSEs and that I should “get out of the kitchen” because I couldn’t “stand the heat.”

And yet…
✅ I passed my SATs (though they never really mattered in the long run).
✅ I achieved 4 As, 4 Bs and 2 Cs at GCSE.
✅ I completed my A Levels.
✅ I went on to university and proudly achieved a 2:1 BEd (Hons) degree.

I don’t share this to boast. I share it because for years, I believed others were better than me. Some teachers doubted me. But through hard work, resilience, and with the support of some incredible teachers who did believe in me, I proved the doubters wrong.

This is the message I want children and parents to hold onto as this new school year begins:
🌱 Learning takes time.
🌱 Comparison steals joy.
🌱 Belief, encouragement, and persistence make all the difference.

Let’s remind our children (and ourselves): It’s not about being the fastest or the “best” – it’s about growing, step by step, in the way that’s right for you. 💙

The very best of luck to all the students collecting their results today, but please remember this also 👇
