What this is
Specialist, individually planned tuition for children who learn differently, shaped around your child's profile, pace and interests, and grounded in a genuine relationship.
What this is not
This is not therapy, clinical treatment, or a diagnostic service, and you do not need a diagnosis or an EHCP to begin. Where a child would benefit from clinical input, we will say so and help you find the right professional.
Support that fits your child, not the other way around.
Many children who learn differently have spent a long time being asked to fit a way of working that was never built for them. They may have been called lazy, or difficult, or told they are behind, when what they actually needed was to be understood. At Villo, we start from the opposite place: what is this child good at, what do they care about, and how do they learn best?
Ruby has ten years of experience supporting children with a wide range of needs, including autism, ADHD, PDA and demand avoidance, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, sensory and processing differences, working memory difficulties, and anxiety around learning. With a background in child psychology and experience as an Assistant Psychologist, she understands both how children learn and how they feel, and she builds each session around the child in front of her.
Who this is for
- Autistic children and children with an ASC profile
- Children with ADHD or ADD
- Children with dyslexia, dyspraxia or dyscalculia
- Children with PDA or demand avoidance
- Children with working memory or processing differences
- Children with anxiety around school or learning
- Children who have been made to feel behind, difficult, or not good enough
- Children with or without a diagnosis or EHCP
How our SEN tuition works
- We start with connection and trust, and move at your child's pace
- Sessions are built around your child's strengths and interests, not just their gaps
- Low-demand, flexible approaches for children who find pressure difficult
- Attention to sensory needs, processing time, and how information is presented
- Executive function support: organisation, planning, working memory strategies
- Confidence rebuilt alongside academic progress, because the two go together
- Happy to liaise with your child's school or SENCo where that would help
What we hope to build
- A child who feels understood, not judged
- Steadier confidence and a healthier relationship with learning
- Practical strategies your child can carry into school and beyond
- Genuine academic progress, at a pace that works
- A calmer, more hopeful experience of learning for the whole family
