SEND & Council-Funded Science Tuition
Working directly with local authorities in Buckinghamshire
Personalised science education for children and young people who need a different approach to learning. Calm, relationship-based lessons built around each learner's individual needs, interests and goals.
Direct local authority collaboration. Personalised support.
Lessons With Marie works directly with local authorities rather than through a third-party tuition agency. This allows conversations about tuition to focus on the learner and the support that may be appropriate.
If you're exploring local authority-funded science tuition, Marie can discuss the learner's needs and the next steps. Any publicly funded placement remains subject to local authority approval and commissioning.
The Lessons With Marie approach
The learner comes first.
Lessons use learners' interests, confidence and individual goals as starting points, while connecting learning to meaningful educational progress.
For parents & carers
How to request Lessons With Marie
Five clear steps, from the first conversation to an agreed tuition plan.
Start a conversation
Contact Marie to discuss your child's needs, interests and the science support you're looking for.
Speak with your council contact
Discuss possible arrangements with your EHCP Coordinator, caseworker or relevant local authority contact.
Ask for Marie to be considered
You can ask the local authority to consider Lessons With Marie as a science tuition provider.
Await the funding decision
The local authority reviews the request and any necessary approval and commissioning arrangements.
Plan personalised sessions

Requesting a named provider does not guarantee that the local authority will approve or fund the placement.
What the tuition looks like
Built around the learner
Sessions adapt to strengths, barriers, interests and education goals, including relevant EHCP outcomes where applicable.
Confidence and trust first
A relationship-based approach that makes room for questions, flexibility, emotional safety and practical learning.
Meaningful science progress
Biology, Chemistry and Physics at appropriate levels, with a personalised route into the subject rather than a one-size-fits-all lesson.
