Following the disruption schools have faced, we are very proud to be part of the national effort to support disadvantaged pupils through the National Tutoring Programme (NTP). We specialise in delivering impactful sessions both face to face and online, through a national network of high-quality specialist tutors, to students across primary, secondary and SEND settings.

Through our market-leading online tuition platform, you can work in partnership with your tutor to aid the learning and progress of your students – ensuring they achieve the desired, measurable outcomes.

We will help you find the best tutor to fit the needs of your school, whether that’s a QTS qualified teacher, professional tutor, SEND specialist, HLTA or a specialist university student with the right subject knowledge.

Reed can offer various levels of support dependent on your school’s needs, including 1:3, 1:2, or 1:1 tuition for students needing extra assistance.
