How can Learning Support help?

Supported learners comments

  • ‘The learning support worker is excellent. They instilled confidence and explained questions which also gave me ideas on how to work things out in a different way’.
  • ‘I was studying for GCSE English, it was the only qualification missing which now has enabled me to go to university to do Paramedic studies. I am very happy with her as a support worker,
  • ‘The support worker has been there from the start, she knows when to let me work and when to step in and help, she prompts only when necessary and always checks my understanding'
  • ‘She breaks down the information and the words. If she knows I am struggling, she will come in and say, try it this way instead. She will suggest other ways of communicating. I couldn’t do without her”
