We can provide specialist tutors to help meet the needs of children and young people who have English as an Additional Language (EAL).
Proficiency in English is strongly linked to levels of educational achievement. It takes two-thirds of children who are new to English at the start of Reception more than six years to progress to the highest levels of proficiency needed to be able to fully access the academic curriculum. (Strand, Malmberg and Hall (2015), Strand and Hessel (2018) and Strand and Lindorff (2020)
Our tutors can offer a broad range of teaching services and support tailored to the individual’s needs and requirement. For example:
- Baseline assessment of competencies and abilities

Providing support for children and young people who have English as an Additional Language can provide many benefits, such as increased self-esteem and confidence, develop independence and help reach their academic potential.
