Something that is incredibly important to us at Totnes Tutors is Alternative Education.

It’s a mission we’ve eagerly embarked on, to provide the very best learning experience for your special needs child. Our aim? To make learning not just accessible, but enjoyable, empowering and enriching for each and every one of our unique students.

Why should you choose Totnes Tutors?

At Totnes Tutors, we don’t usually use rigid, top-down methods of traditional education. Instead, we embrace a flexible, non-authoritarian approach. We trust our students to learn at their own pace, to make choices, and even co-organise their own learning. After all, who knows their abilities better than themselves? Totnes Tutors simply guides and facilitates, helping each child unlock their potential step by step.

In our classroom, your child is much more than just a student – they’re a valued individual. The skilled and compassionate teachers at Totnes Tutors work hand in hand with your child, creating individualised therapeutic programmes. The goal? To help your child grow and develop in their own unique way, fostering their curiosity and encouraging them to reach for the stars.

At Totnes Tutors, we believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing space for learning. Our setting provides just that, prioritising dignity and value-based learning above all. We’re committed to building your child’s confidence, resilience, and independence. We want them to leave our classroom not just with knowledge, but with a strong sense of self-worth and the courage to navigate the world on their own terms.

Last but certainly not least, we’ve crafted a curriculum at Totnes Tutors that’s designed specifically to overcome SEN barriers. Rather than forcing square pegs into round holes, we adapt our teaching strategies to suit each child’s needs. We recognise that each child is unique, each special need is specific, and our mission is to provide an education that reflects this diversity.

We are Totnes Tutors – passionate, dedicated, and wholly committed to giving your special needs child the education they deserve. We’re not just about teaching and learning; we’re about understanding, accepting, and celebrating each child’s unique journey. And we’d be absolutely thrilled to have you join us on this adventure.
