It is not necessary for our tutors to be qualified teachers – a central feature of the Connective Learning method is that the students draw their learning from the computer, rather than by being taught. The tutors are trained, in-house, to guide students through the programme and facilitate learning, and they share a vast amount of literacy knowledge. The tutors have empathy with dyslexic students and quickly build up good rapport; they are consistently caring, supportive, friendly and kind. The quality of delivery of the programme is constantly monitored and is to the highest standard.
All Connective Learning staff have been checked by the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) at an Enhanced level.
