SEND Mentor | Neuro-affirming | Fun, low-demand, child-led mentoring tailored to your child's needs |

Tom has worked with my son for the past four and a half years, during which time he has been an invaluable part of his journey.

He has exceptional sensitivity and understanding of young people, particularly those who have experienced trauma within education.

At the start, my son was unable to communicate with educational professionals at all, with the sole exception of Tom. He built a deep and lasting relationship of trust, and it helped my son begin learning again.

Perhaps most remarkably, he achieved this entirely online, without my son’s camera ever being switched on. He successfully engaged and supported a 12 year old with situational mutism without even being able to see his facial expressions or body language. That takes an extraordinary level of sensitivity, patience and intuition.

Tom understands that meaningful learning begins with trust. He meets young people where they are, respects their individuality and gently builds their confidence and capacity to engage.

I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is not only an excellent educator but an exceptionally kind and generous person.

My son loves his sessions with Tom; they are the highlight of his week.
Tom is an amazing mentor, who is understanding, caring and adapts his sessions to the needs of the individual, making them feel at ease. He is also very supportive to parents and I feel lucky to have him on board.
Highly recommended+++
