Specialist Person-Centred Tutor

Transformational education for children who need something different


I don’t believe in fitting children into systems. I believe in building systems around the child.

I am Hayley and I am Bonterre’s Tutor. I am a fully qualified teacher (PGCE) with 13 years of experience across Birmingham and Worcestershire schools. My career has evolved from curriculum leadership into my true specialism: Special Educational Needs, Disabilities, and Mental Wellbeing.

Today, I offer something far beyond traditional tutoring.

Teaching Approach

I combine qualified teaching expertise, trauma-informed practice and purposeful outdoor learning to create deeply personalised education that rebuilds confidence, resilience, and academic success.

This is bespoke, therapeutic education designed for long-term transformation.

Professional Expertise & Leadership

  • PGCE (Qualified Teacher Status)
  • 13 years in mainstream education across diverse settings
  • Former SENDCo Assistant
  • Former Mental Wellbeing Lead
  • Subject Leadership & Curriculum Design Experience

Additional Certifications and Specialist Training

  • Worcestershire County Council – Whole School Implementation of Trauma and Mental Health Informed Schools & Communities
  • Worcestershire Children First – Mental Health Aware
  • Worcestershire Children First – MFHA Champion

This advanced training ensures that my practice is grounded in trauma informed, mental-health-aware approaches that prioritise emotional safety alongside academic achievement.

What Makes My Approach Different?

  1. Bespoke, Person-Centred Curriculum
    Every learning programme is designed around the child’s strengths, interests, needs, and aspirations. No off-the-shelf plans. No rigid frameworks.
  2. Therapeutic, Emotionally Safe Learning
    Children cannot learn effectively if they do not feel safe. I integrate emotional regulation strategies, resilience-building, and confidence development into every session.
  3. Purposeful Outdoor & Experiential Education
    Children thrive in the physical and natural world. Structured outdoor learning combined with clear academic outcomes re-engages curiosity, motivation, and joy.

The Outcome

Children who may feel anxious, disengaged, or misunderstood begin to:

  • Rebuild self-belief
  • Develop resilience
  • Take healthy risks in learning
  • Achieve meaningful academic progress
  • Recognise their unique talents and gifts

I am not simply a tutor. I am an advocate, a mentor, and a consistent, calm presence who champions each child toward a purposeful place in society.
