Direct, in-person support for learners who thrive through routine, relationships and consistency.
When virtual support isn’t enough, we bring qualified teachers directly to the student.
Not every young person thrives online. Some need the reassurance of a teacher physically in the room, or someone who can meet them where they are, both literally and emotionally.
Fledge’s face-to-face teaching is built for young people who are highly anxious, school-refusing, or disengaged from education altogether. Whether it’s at home, in school, in hospital, or a neutral venue, our teachers bring not just academic support, but presence, patience, and a human connection.
Ideal for:
- School-refusing young people with trauma, anxiety, or complex emotional needs
- Learners awaiting school placement
- Students with EHCPs requiring face-to-face provision
- Young people in Alternative Provision or Hospital Schools
- Families who prefer in-person support over virtual delivery
- Local Authorities and Virtual Schools requiring outreach tuition

Our Approach
Face-to-face teaching is more than delivery, it provides stability, structure and a consistent presence. We prioritise:
relationship-first practice
trust, routine, and emotional safety
calm, supportive learning environments
coordination with families, carers, and professionals
flexibly to the learner’s mood, needs, and capacity on any given day
What schools and families say
Our Year 10 student with severe anxiety hadn’t attended school in months. Fledge provided a calm, compassionate tutor who visited twice a week. Within six weeks, he was engaging in Maths and smiling again.
Do you cover my area?
We aim to match face-to-face teachers based on availability in your region. Let us know your location and we’ll do our best to find the right fit.
What happens if face-to-face isn’t available?
We can offer a temporary online or hybrid solution while we continue to look for a suitable face-to-face teacher or mentor.
Are sessions safe?
Yes. All mentors and teachers are DBS-checked, fully risk-assessed, and trained in safeguarding. Sessions are delivered in line with our comprehensive safety protocols.
Can a parent or carer be present?
Yes! Where appropriate, and if it supports the young person’s comfort and engagement. We’ll always adapt to what works best for the learner.
Do you cover my area?
We support learners across England, including those in London, Greater Manchester, the West Midlands, Merseyside, Yorkshire, and surrounding regions with flexible delivery models to meet students wherever they are.
Some learners benefit from face-to-face support alongside online provision.
