Our story

Igniting young people’s potential for a self-determined, successful future

Our trauma-informed solutions foster trust, resilience, and motivation.
Become a TutorRefer a Young Person

2018

Targeted Provision was born out of a need for young people to access a wider range of appropriate educational provision, that put the young person themselves at the centre.

2020

Redefining tuition as Relational Learning, offering an alternative to mainstream tutoring agencies, we captured the attention of Local Authorities and Schools across the UK, supporting hundreds of young people back into education.

2025

Now a team of 60, with over 3000 tutors and working with most Local Authorities and Schools, we increasingly understand the range of needs that go unmet for the UK's most vulnerable learners.

The future

To continue being the catalyst for change, allowing young people to trust, self-regulate and take ownership of their own educational journey, to re-engage with their futures and contribute meaningfully to society.

For Tutors

Where tutors’ skills and young people's needs harmonise

In our approach, tutors' skills align with young people's needs, creating a nurturing, emotionally safe environment that fosters learning. Beyond personalised 1:1 tutoring, relational learning emphasises trust-based relationships, validating experiences, and respecting individuality, particularly crucial for those with adverse childhood experiences and SEND. This supportive atmosphere encourages students to freely express themselves, enhancing engagement and motivation. Trauma-informed practices prioritise safety, trustworthiness, collaboration, and empowerment to foster resilience and improve educational outcomes.

What is Relational Learning in this context?

In a traditional 1:1 tutoring setup, the focus is primarily on guiding students through procedures to find correct answers. However, in relational learning, our tutors prioritise understanding students' feelings and anxieties about the subject, often using real-life examples to create connections. By fostering trust and encouraging dialogue, students are empowered to explain their thought processes, enhancing their understanding beyond just finding the right answer.
