YoungEducation
About Us
Alternative Provision with Local Authorities and schools. Our tuition centre facilities. Private home and online tuition with families. All built around the individual student.
Who we are
Education built around one student at a time
YoungEducation has worked with young people since 2010. YoungEducation has several facets, Alternative Provision, delivered in partnership with Local Authorities, schools and families, leveraged with our physical centre facilities and Private Tuition, where families come to us directly for home and online tuition.
People arrive for different reasons. Some young people have been out of education for a long time, or have found that mainstream school stopped working somewhere along the way. Other families are simply looking for focused support in a subject that has become difficult.
The starting point is the same either way. Understand the student first, then build something around them rather than asking them to fit a fixed programme.
What stays the same in the education options we provide
- Programmes shaped around the individual
- Qualified teachers, tutors and specialist mentors
- Progress shared openly with the adults involved
- Confidence treated as seriously as attainment
Whether a young person joins us on a placement or a family arranges tuition directly, the work begins with understanding the student.
Multiple routes, one way of working
Alternative Provision and Private Tuition sit alongside each other. Different routes in, the same attention to the person being taught.
Alternative Provision
For young people aged 5 to 18 referred to us by Local Authorities, schools, Multi-Academy Trusts, Virtual Schools and, where appropriate, families.
- English and Mathematics at the core
- Specialist mentoring and wellbeing support
- Practical, hands-on pathways
- Tuition centre facilities at a convenient location
- Programmes reviewed with the people around the young person
Private Tuition
For families who come to us directly. One to one tuition arranged around a student's own needs, in their home or online.
- Home Tuition, with a tutor working alongside the student in their own setting
- Online Tuition, covering the same ground remotely

- Tuition centre facilities at a convenient location for those that prefer this option
- Available across primary, secondary and post-16 learning
What guides us
Four things we hold to
They shape how a programme is designed, how our staff work, and how we judge whether it is going well.
Build trusting relationships
People need to feel safe, understood and ready to learn before anything else can happen.
Deliver personalised education
Academic progress matters. So does recognising the strengths a student already brings with them.
Develop confidence and independence
Mentoring, practical experience and real world learning give people reasons to believe in themselves.
Create positive futures
Everything points forward, towards further education, employment and adulthood.
Our promise
We believe in building confidence before expectations, relationships before results and opportunities before limitations.
Our mission
We do not simply provide an alternative to mainstream education. We provide opportunities, inspire ambition and empower young people to believe in themselves and their future.
The people a student actually meets
Our work is delivered by qualified teachers, subject tutors, specialist mentors, safeguarding professionals and industry experts, including the people who lead our barbering, music and cooking pathways.
Consistency matters as much as qualifications. Students see familiar faces, build trust with adults who already know their story, and are not asked to start again every week.
Safeguarding sits underneath all of it. It is not simply a statutory responsibility. It is the foundation everything else is built on.
We are one part of the team around a student
We are rarely the only adults involved. Programmes are designed with the people who know the student best, reviewed regularly, and adjusted as things change.
Schools and Local Authorities receive clear updates and meaningful feedback. Families stay informed and involved, whether their child is with us on a placement or working with one of our tutors. Where a young person has an EHCP, the programme is built to support those outcomes.
It comes down to something simple: the right support, at the right time, for this student.
Every successful placement begins with a conversation
Tell us about a young person you are supporting, or a subject your child is finding difficult. We can talk through a referral, arrange tuition, or set up a visit so you can see the environment and meet the team first.
