What We Offer
Our Offer
Everything YoungEducation provides, in one place. Private tuition at home, online and at our Stevenage centre, and commissioned Alternative Provision for young people aged 5 to 18. Follow whichever route fits your situation.
Two ways we support students
YoungEducation has worked with families, schools and Local Authorities since 2010. The work divides into two strands, and both matter equally.
Private Tuition is arranged directly with a family. A tutor works one to one with a student at home, online, or at our Stevenage tuition centre, around whatever the student needs at that point.
Alternative Provision is commissioned by a school, a Multi-Academy Trust, a Virtual School or a Local Authority, and sometimes by a family where that is appropriate. It combines academic learning with specialist mentoring, wellbeing support and practical enrichment in a single personalised placement.
The pages below cover both, in the order most people need them.
On this page
- Core Tuition: home, online and centre based
- Alternative Provision and its three audience pages
- Formal Curriculum by age stage
- Flagship Pathways: barbering, music production, cooking
- Sports, Outdoor Learning and Wellbeing
- Creative Learning

Core Tuition
Private tuition, three ways
Arranged directly with your family. Same tutors, same approach, three different settings.
Home Tuition
One to one tuition in the place a student already feels comfortable. A tutor comes to the family home and works to an individual plan, at a pace that suits the student.
Online Tuition
The same personalised teaching delivered remotely. Useful where travel is difficult, where a subject specialist is not available locally, or where a student simply works better from home.
Tuition Centre
Our Stevenage centre, where small group and one to one sessions run in a calm, purpose-arranged classroom setting.
Alternative Provision
Commissioned provision for young people aged 5 to 18
Personalised programmes delivered in partnership with Local Authorities, schools and families. Academic learning, specialist mentoring, wellbeing support and practical enrichment sit inside one placement rather than being bolted on to it.
- Referrals from Local Authorities, schools, Multi-Academy Trusts and Virtual Schools
- Referrals from parents and carers where appropriate
- A five step referral journey, built for placements that need to move quickly
For Schools and Local Authorities
How referral, planning, communication and review work when you commission a placement with us.
For Parents and Carers
What a placement looks like day to day, and how families are kept informed and involved throughout.
Formal Curriculum
English and Mathematics at the centre of every programme
Timetables are built around the individual, but every programme is underpinned by literacy, numeracy, communication, emotional wellbeing and preparation for the future. The three age stages below describe how that looks in practice.
- Primary, Secondary and Post-16 stages
- Small teaching groups and personalised learning programmes
- Carefully selected staff with enhanced DBS Certification
- Continuous professional development to ensure the highest level and quality of teaching and support
- Progress reviewed regularly with everyone who needs to know
Primary Provision, ages 5 to 11
Early intervention in a calm, nurturing and structured setting, with lessons planned so that success is achievable.
Secondary Provision, ages 11 to 16
Small teaching groups and personalised programmes alongside mentoring and practical experience.
Post-16 Provision, ages 16 to 18
Functional Skills, employability and independent living skills for the move into further education, an apprenticeship or work.
Flagship Pathways
Learning beyond the classroom
Three academies where young people work alongside experienced industry professionals. Practical success here has a habit of showing up everywhere else on the timetable.
- Taught alongside working industry professionals
- Built into the personalised programme, not bolted on
- Routes towards further training, apprenticeships and employment
Barbering Academy
Professional barbering and styling technique, safe use of specialist equipment, and the customer service skills that go with it.
DJing and Music Production Academy
Professional equipment and industry standard software, with the chance to produce and record original music.
Cooking and Food Technology Academy
Led by a qualified Food Technology teacher. Young people cook healthy meals and can take them home to share with their families.
Sports, Outdoor Learning and Wellbeing
Building confidence through experience
Physical activity, outdoor challenge and time spent working with animals. All three support emotional regulation and mental wellbeing, and all three tend to improve engagement with everything else.
- Activities adapted to individual ability and confidence
- Delivered alongside experienced coaches and mentors
- Teamwork, leadership and healthy lifestyle choices throughout
Sports, Gym and Physical Development
Boxing and kickboxing, gym and fitness training, football, tennis and padel, and team games, adapted to individual confidence levels.
Therapeutic Equine Sessions
Working alongside horses to build trust, communication and emotional awareness.
Bushcraft and Outdoor Learning
Shelter building, fire lighting and outdoor cooking, navigation and map reading, team challenges and conservation.
Creative Learning
Every young person has a talent
Creative work gives a young person something to say and a reason to come back tomorrow. It also builds patience, concentration and fine motor skills without ever announcing that it is doing so.
- Progress at the pace the student sets
- Calmer, structured sessions that suit students who experience anxiety
- Routes into carpentry, joinery and other skilled trades
Music and Instrumental Learning
Piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and drums, with guidance from experienced tutors and musicians.
Creative Arts and Practical Crafts
Arts and crafts, knitting, crocheting and design projects, in a calmer and more structured setting.
Woodwork and Practical Design
Plan, measure, construct and evaluate, using safe working practices and appropriate tools.
