At Lexia Education Services, we believe that real change happens when young people feel seen, heard, and supported. This belief is the foundation of everything we do – and it’s why community is at the heart of Lexia. In a world where so many children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges are left behind, we’re here to offer a different kind of support: one built on care, connection, and trust.
A New Kind of Support
We’re proud to be pioneering a new way of working – one that puts heart first. In an education sector that’s often stretched, pressurised, and transactional, Lexia was founded to do things differently. As a family-run business, we’ve built Lexia from the ground up with a single goal in mind: to be a service that young people, schools, and local authorities can truly rely on.
Too often, support services fall short when children need them most. We’re here to change that. Every tutor and mentor at Lexia are chosen not just for their skills, but for their ability to connect on a human level. Because real progress begins with real relationships.
The Role of Mentors for Children with SEMH Needs
Young people navigating SEMH challenges often feel misunderstood or pushed aside. A great mentor shows up with heart. Lexia mentors build safe, trusting relationships that become the foundation for growth.
Whether it’s helping a child manage anxiety, work through trauma, or simply believe in themselves again, mentors play a powerful role in restoring hope. The impact goes beyond academics. It’s about helping young people re-engage with life, one step at a time.
Our mentors understand that behind every behaviour is a story – and they meet each child with compassion and consistency. This is exactly why we do what we do.
The Impact of Tutors on Children with SEN
For children with SEN, learning can come with unique hurdles – and traditional classrooms don’t always meet those needs. Lexia tutors step in with patience, adaptability, and care. They bring lessons to life in ways that make sense for each learner, offering not just knowledge, but encouragement.
Our tutors understand that progress looks different for every child. They celebrate the small wins, create calm learning spaces, and build confidence alongside competence. Their impact often reaches beyond schoolwork – it shapes how young people see themselves.
Building an Inclusive, Supportive Environment
In every aspect of our work, Lexia is focused on inclusion. We don’t just support young people – we support schools, families, and our mentors/tutors too. It’s about creating a network where everyone feels held.
Our commitment to inclusion means:
- Matching the right mentor or tutor to each child/school’s needs
- Providing consistent supervision and development for our team
- Listening deeply to schools and local authorities
- Creating emotionally safe spaces to learn and grow
We know that when adults feel supported, they can better support young people. That’s why we invest in our people, nurture their growth, and stay grounded in our values.
A Partner You Can Trust
We know trust isn’t given – it’s earned. And in a competitive, high-pressure sector, Lexia has built its reputation by showing up with care, clarity, and consistency. Schools and councils come to us because they know we’ll do what we say. Because our word means something.
From the very beginning, Lexia has been more than a service – it’s a movement for better support. We’re here to raise the standard, not just meet it. To walk alongside every child, not just teach them. To lead with care, always.
Let’s Keep Building Together
If you’re a tutor, mentor, school leader, or council partner looking for a service that puts people first, we’d love to connect. At Lexia, community isn’t just part of what we do – it is what we do.
