SEND, SEN and Alternative Provision Tutoring with Quantum Scholars

Quantum Scholars works with schools and local authorities across the UK to provide high quality SEND, SEN and Alternative Provision tuition for young people who need a more personalised approach to education.

We support pupils who are unable to access mainstream school due to needs such as anxiety, autism, SEMH, medical conditions, trauma, behavioural challenges, school refusal or exclusion.

Many of these young people have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), and local authorities commission this tuition to meet their duties under Section 19 of the Education Act. Our tutors work in a trauma-informed way, building trust before building attainment.

We work with UK based tutors, qualified teachers and experienced educators to deliver structured one to one and small group tuition. These roles help young people rebuild confidence, re engage with learning and make meaningful academic progress.

Quantum Scholars is an approved Alternative Provision provider for a number of local authorities across England, connecting experienced educators with tutoring opportunities that support vulnerable learners outside traditional classroom settings.
