Understand
We get to know the learner, their strengths, challenges, interests and current relationship with learning.
A DIFFERENT WAY INTO LEARNING
Built around
you.
Your interests. Your pace. Your possibilities.
Personal tutoring that starts with the person.
Your first session is free.
With Joshua or another Toucan tutor.
Children, young people & adults.
Online, and in person in selected areas.
A different approach to tutoring.
Whether you learn with Joshua or another Toucan tutor, the planning is collaborative. Joshua stays involved in the teaching approach, with attention to your confidence, interests and needs alongside subject progress.
Personalise
Joshua and your tutor work together on a plan, choosing explanations, activities and a pace that suit you.
Build
Tutors record progress and discuss next steps with Joshua, so each lesson helps shape the next.
Who is the support for?
Two clear routes. One personal approach.
Find support for your child or explore learning for your own goals. Both start with understanding the person and what they want to achieve.
For parents and carers
Support for a child or young person.
Personal tutoring for school subjects, confidence and learners who need a more flexible, SEND-informed route.
- Primary to post-16
- Careful tutor matching
- Clear progress reporting
For adult learners
Support for your own goal.
One-to-one learning built around a practical purpose, from workplace English and languages to confidence with numbers.
- Practical English for UK work
- Spanish, English and French
- Maths and everyday numeracy
Interests become a starting point
A learning world of their own.
Imagine your child's match report, big question or latest idea in a world made for them. A Toucan learner can have their own website or game, built around what they love, where their work gets published. Those interests become reasons to write, solve problems and explain ideas.
Meet Kit: a made-up learner who loves space and football. This demo lets you explore what that could look like. For a real learner, we agree what to share with them and their family.

SPACE + FOOTBALL + BIG IDEAS

A fictional learner. A world to explore.

Writing that gets published
A real reason to find the words.
Maths you can play
Practise a skill. Power an adventure.
Ideas that stick
Something personal to build on.
Reports that show progress
What changed, and what comes next.
How it works
A clear process, without forcing every learner down the same route.
Learners and families should know exactly what happens next. The plan stays responsive because every session gives us new evidence about what helps the learner engage, understand and progress.
