Best tuition centre

I was looking for support for my child due to autism. In the past 2 months he’s gone there he’s improved a lot. He wants to go everyday , he’s learnt a lot more. He used to not want to study but now he’s interested in different topics like phonic and maths. I want to say a special thanks to his teacher Miss Nazma and Mr Sachin who have helped him a lot. In my opinion this is a great tuition Center.

Amazing SEN support for children and parents

I was looking for extra support for my daughter with autism. The team instantly picked up what she needed help with. It's been over 2 months and the progress is amazing. She now sits still for an hour and is keen to start her session. The staff are so knowledgeable and helpful. She adores her tutor Miss Rehana and can't wait for me to leave the room so she can start her lesson.
I have found all of the staff are lovely to talk to and ask advice and tips on learning. You can see they genuinely care about SEN children which is hard to find. So happy this was recommended by my patents whatsapp group.

I am very happy with the progress my son is doing because of Shaping education. Even his class teacher has advised me not to stop the tuition. They have managed to make my son sit for almost 1h with tiny break in between to do his work. I can proudly recommend shaping education.

The leadership team is very supportive and seems genuine in their attempt to assist children reach their full potential while being realistic for the targeted results.
Many of the tutors currently work in Primary school and are experienced. They have a good understanding of children with SEND and how to assist them.

My daughter has SEND and is non-verbal (year 2).
I like that her tutor is working with her on typical tasks such as tracing/writing, matching words with corresponding images and some Maths.
I find this approch is suitable as it enables her to continue acquiring knowledge and understanding of language. And even if she doesn't produce any speech, I am hoping that she may end up communicating by writing/typing.

Truly Life Changing Support for My Boys

Shaping Education has been incredible for my boys. In just a few months, my oldest said his first words and both of them have made progress I never imagined seeing so soon. The team is patient, kind, and truly care about every child. What they’ve done for my boys means more than I can put into words. Thank you Shaping Education!

My son started at Shaping Education at start of the year. I got recommended them via a whatspp group I’m part of especially for SEN parents.
My son has Autism and currently goes to a mainstream secondary school.
He has come on leaps & bounds since joining. They are really patient with him and because of this I think he has progressed even more. He also feels he can be himself when he is there. I am so so grateful for finding them. I have my complete trust in them & will be with them for the foreseeable future. Trust me when I say you won’t get any better than them.

Amazing progress in less than one year

My son started tuition at Shaping Education in the beginning of the year after a SEN mum recommended me via WhatsApp group. He is autistic and goes to SEN school. I wanted a place that would push him to his full potential, giving him the chance to progress. I honestly didn’t know if he would be able to do the full hour and engage while working on academic targets, but he was put with a lovely lady named Karen and she is so patient with him, she build up slowly his tolerance for sitting down periods and now he is able to stay the whole session, he is happy when we say it’s tuition day, he has made such amazing progress that in his school they decided to try him in a higher level class where now he joins children from year 6 for core lessons (he is in year 4). And he is doing amazingly well there!
I am so thankful that I found this place and I trust many other parents are as I can see how caring, supportive and kind the staff is.

As a Parent

As a parent, hearing that your child has been diagnosed with autism is one of the hardest things to accept. You start searching for answers, support, and hope. The journey can be emotionally overwhelming if you don’t find the strength to encourage yourself.

After many years of crying and advocating for a better educational program, a friend recommended Shaping Education — and honestly, I have never regretted enrolling my son there. If you rely solely on the special school your child attends, they may not be getting the full support they truly need.

Trust me, my child has made tremendous progress in just a few months at Shaping Education. If you’re a doubter, I encourage you to give it a try and witness the difference for yourself.

Shaping Education...what an absolute godsend...

After years of being repeatedly taught the same things in school, my son was in a constant state of boredom, his progress had stagnated and he had reached the point of complete frustration. Totally disengaged, his attention could only be held for a very short time before he would scarper out of his seat. But wow...what a huge turnaround!!! After the very first session at Shaping Education, their expertise was very apparent as I witnessed how masterfully his tutor was able to engage him in various activities. It was like a light was literally switched on in my son's head and his eyes have been sparkling ever since. He eagerly looks forward to his tuition and is now seated before the sessions even begin!!!

The SE team are extremely welcoming, patient, nurturing and offer a truly child-centred approach, providing stimulating sessions which cater to my son's interests and needs, whilst also tapping into his true potential. The consistent enthusiasm, dedication and passion of the tutors have been both extraordinary and exemplary. Unfortunately, my child's challenging behaviour has often overshadowed his ability and so to be told 'your son has a bright future ahead of him' has been very refreshing to hear. Tutor-parent collaboration has been on-point and really insightful: regular and concise feedback, alongside the sharing of work and video footage highlighting progress and also ideas of how to work with him at home. I love that they also encourage interaction between the children to build on their social skills.

My child is now thankfully making great strides in all areas of learning; his numeracy, literacy, reading and handwriting skills have all significantly improved. The trajectory of my child's future has made such a positive shift in such a short space of time, as he is finally thriving. I'm beyond excited to see how things develop over the months and years to come.

Shaping Education - A beacon of hope !

Shaping Education is truly an amazing learning centre for SEN children. My daughter who hardly engages with any unfamiliar person, has been enjoying her sessions thoroughly with Miss Rehana. I am very impressed with Shaping Education at how skillfully they have assessed my child and considered all her relevant reports - EP, SALT assessment to design an individualized lesson plan for her. The team also shares recordings of the lesson which is very helpful. I was almost in tears when I saw my daughter write and articulate sounds with her teacher in last week's video. I highly recommend this place for SEN children. I am sure every SEN child will be able to tap to their potential if they are nurtured by passionate and knowledgeable professionals like in Shaping Education. Thank you Shaping Education.

Patient support for children with SEN

My son recently started to have lessons with the Shaping Education team. I wasn’t sure how he would take to it, my son has SEN and needed some targeted support, but he has thoroughly enjoyed the sessions.
Mr Africa has worked with him to help him bring up his maths and English. He has been nothing but positive, encouraging and patient, finding the places when my son needed the extra help.
I thoroughly recommend .

GCSE Sessions

My daughter has had 5 sessions with Sachin and there has been a noticeable improvement, not only with her grades in school but also her confidence within the subject. She’s described his teaching style as very patient and thorough. It’s going so well my daughter has now requested extra sessions in another subject.
Thank you Shaping Education - thank you Sachin!

Fantastic tuition especially for SEN

As a parent of two Sen children, I was looking for a tailored, passionate and nurturing tuition service for my children. A place I could trust and feel 100% that my vulnerable children would be safe and learn at a pace which was tailored to their needs and understood fully. I have found that at shaping education. The tutors are patient and knowledgeable in all areas of SEN. My children look forward to their sessions each week, I am given the opportunity to look over their work and discuss any targets or areas to work on at home to solidify their progress. They have vast experience with Sen children and their nurturing skills are fantastic and rare to find. I recommend their service to any parent with or without special education needs. My teenager has engaged effortlessly with Sachin one of the tutors, he is great with my son and had made him feel at ease which is a challenge due to anxiety. Thank you shaping education!!!
