About Our Service
GoWise Learning provides specialist one-to-one tutoring for children with SEND and SEMH needs across Sutton and nearby areas. Our sessions are personalised to help children build confidence, develop essential skills and enjoy learning in a calm, supportive environment.
Our Approach – The GoWise Learning Framework
Our framework is built around one core belief:every child learns best when they feel safe, understood and valued. We take time to truly see each learner, their strengths, their challenges, their interests, and the unique way they make sense of the world. Many of our students experience difficulties that are not always visible: anxiety, sensory overwhelm, language barriers, low confidence, or a history of feeling misunderstood in educational settings. Our framework enables us to meet children exactly where they are and support them step by step through:
•Connection – building trust, emotional safety and positive rapport
•Support – adapting learning to meet sensory, emotional and developmental needs
•Empowerment – nurturing confidence, independence and meaningful progress
This structure helps children feel capable and calm, while giving families the reassurance of a consistent and thoughtful approach.
How We Work
Parents and SEND professionals can contact us directly or complete our referral form on the GoWise Learning website. We arrange an initial conversation to understand the child’s needs, strengths and interests. Each child receives an Individualised Learning Plan (ILP) shaped around their pace, engagement style and learning profile. Learning is built gradually using strategies suited to academic, emotional, sensory and developmental needs.
Who We Support
We confidently support:
• Children with SEND or SEMH needs
• Non-verbal or early communication learners
• Children new to the English language
• Learners who benefit from structured routines, visuals or sensory-based approaches
• Children who need confidence-building and personalised support
Session Approach
Sessions are calm, engaging and child-centred. We adapt learning to each child’s strengths and needs, using visual tools, sensory strategies and supportive communication to ensure they feel safe, understood and motivated. Parents and SEND teams receive a termly progress report highlighting growth, strengths and next steps.

Our Designated Safeguarding Lead ensures that child protection procedures are followed consistently, creating a safe and respectful learning environment.

Why GoWise Learning
GoWise Learning was founded from a deep commitment to raise the standard of SEND and SEMH tutoring. Children with diverse needs, including those who are non-verbal, developing early communication, new to English, or who learn in unique ways, deserve learning that adapts to them, not the other way around. Our mission is to create a space where every child is seen, understood and able to succeed at their own pace. We design learning experiences that honour individuality, nurture emotional safety, and empower children to flourish through empathy, warmth and truly personalised support.
Supporting Families****and SEND teams
We know that navigating SEND or SEMH needs can be confusing, emotional and sometimes overwhelming. Many families come to us feeling unheard or unsure where to turn next. At GoWise Learning, you will never have to repeat your story twice. We listen with care, respect your insight as a parent and work alongside you and SEND professionals with full transparency.
Where We Work
We provide home-based sessions in Sutton, online support for flexibility, and work across nearby boroughs where accessible.
Our Commitment
Our promise is simple: from the first conversation to every milestone achieved, we make sure families and SEND professionals feel supported, informed, listened to and genuinely involved. We keep families and SEND teams updated because transparency and strong collaboration are at the heart of GoWise Learning. When families and professionals work together, our learners truly thrive.
Every child deserves to feel capable, calm and confident every step of the way, and we are committed to creating learning experiences that honour their individuality, nurture their strengths and help them grow with trust and joy.
