At Lexia Education Services, we believe that every student has unique learning needs, strengths, and areas for growth. Our personalised tutoring service is tailored to meet the individual needs of each child, aiming to foster academic success, build confidence, and nurture a positive attitude toward learning.
Based in Devon, Somerset, and Gloucestershire, our dedicated tutors work one-on-one with students, offering personalised, holistic support that extends beyond just academics. Here’s how we tailor our tutoring to best support your child’s growth and development.
Trauma-Informed Teaching for a Safe Learning Space
We understand that a child’s learning environment plays a crucial role in their success, particularly for students who may have experienced trauma or have sensitive emotional needs. Our tutors use trauma-informed teaching techniques that ensure a supportive, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach.
This method is more than just teaching; it involves recognising signs of trauma and understanding its potential impact on learning. By fostering a safe and welcoming space, our tutors help students feel secure, allowing them to engage more fully in the learning process. Trauma-informed teaching also emphasises patience and understanding, providing a foundation of trust and stability that is essential for academic and emotional growth.
Relational Approach to Building Trust and Motivation
At Lexia, we focus on building strong, positive relationships between tutors and students. Through a relational approach, our tutors connect with students on a personal level, creating a bond that goes beyond academics. This trust-based relationship fosters motivation, making students more willing to engage and take risks in their learning.
By understanding each student’s personality, preferences, and fears, our tutors create a nurturing environment where students feel understood and valued. This relational approach encourages students to be more open about their struggles, fostering a growth mindset that positively influences their academic and personal lives.
Personalised Learning for Unique Learning Styles and Paces
No two students learn the same way, and at Lexia, we honour that individuality by creating personalised learning plans. Whether a child needs extra help in maths, English, or science, or they are working to overcome specific learning challenges, we adapt our teaching strategies to suit each student’s unique learning style and pace.
Our tutors assess each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and preferences to design lessons that make learning enjoyable and effective. Personalised learning not only helps students master subjects at their own pace but also fosters a sense of ownership over their academic journey, empowering them to become more independent learners.
Targeted Academic Support for Improved Performance
Lexia Education Services offers focused academic support to help students improve in specific subjects. Our tutors work closely with each student to identify areas where they may be struggling, offering targeted assistance that enhances their understanding and skills.
We also teach study techniques and problem-solving skills that students can use across subjects, helping them build a foundation for lifelong learning. This targeted academic support is particularly effective for students who need help with difficult concepts or who want to improve their grades in subjects like maths, English, and science.
Building Confidence and Self-Esteem
A key part of our approach is to help students believe in their abilities. Confidence plays a crucial role in a student’s success, encouraging them to take on challenges and persevere. Our tutors work to build each student’s self-esteem, providing praise and positive reinforcement for their efforts and achievements.
Celebrating small successes, we help students recognise their progress and develop a positive self-image. This increased confidence translates into better academic performance, as students feel more capable and motivated to tackle new learning opportunities.

Skill Development for Lifelong Learning
Our tutoring services don’t just focus on short-term academic gains; we aim to equip students with skills that will serve them throughout their lives. In addition to subject-specific knowledge, we teach essential skills like time management, critical thinking, and effective study techniques. These skills empower students to approach new challenges with resilience and adaptability, laying a strong foundation for future success in both their academic and professional lives.
Supporting Social, Emotional, and Mental Health
At Lexia, we recognise the importance of supporting students’ social, emotional, and mental well-being. By incorporating social and emotional learning (SEL) practices, our tutors help students develop emotional regulation, empathy, and resilience skills. This holistic approach improves their emotional health and enhances their ability to interact positively with peers, teachers, and family members. Our focus on emotional resilience equips students to handle academic stress and life challenges with a positive, constructive mindset.

We offer a range of tutoring roles in Devon, Somerset and Gloucestershire, including Engagement Tutors who focus on re-engaging students in their learning journey, SEN Tutors who provide tailored support for students with special educational needs, and Community Tutors who encourage positive behaviours through educational experiences.
