Tutoring at Edu-Play
“Specific Needs tutoring differs from general special education as it is more inclusive and provides a more direct one-on-one approach.”
Our diverse tutoring approach is based on pairing with positives which results in a happy and secure environment in which the learner wants to learn.

Our Tutoring Approach
Edu-Play Family Centre
The bond created between the learner and the tutor also contributes to creating a nurturing environment, a happy and secure environment. This learner-tutor bond is specially maintained and built upon throughout the year.
Each of our highly-skilled tutors is trained in the various protocols and techniques we make use of and we provide ongoing coaching to staff to ensure that they are well-informed and efficiently trained in the various programmes, as well as kept up-to-date with current development.
