"My 10 year old daughter with ADHD has been receiving tutoring for the past 4 years with the support of Reachout Educational resources for maths & English.
She has always found focusing difficult despite being a bright, articulate girl. She needs resources that engage her and this is what the individual personalised packages have done.
With simple adaptions (including her interests, names of friends & celebrities) she wants to become engaged."
"My son has been home-schooled for the past 18 months following an incident in Year 7.
I have found it very challenging knowing how to teach and motivate him. One of the reasons for his exclusion was not engaging in lessons and causing disruption. He constantly said 'what’s the point of all of this? It has no relevance to what I want to do when I’m a man'.
We struggled for the first 6 months finding resources to keep his learning going but not just doing what he hated on the curriculum. Then a friend introduced us to Barbara. She devised personal packages for him around his interests that included all that he needed in maths, geography, science and English.
Each pack is centred around his interests in football, electronics/computing and travel.
He is like a different boy as he’s interested, motivated and can at last see the relevance for gaining knowledge and skills.
A HUGE thanks to Reachout Educational."

I have known Barbara Perry in a professional capacity for the past 20 years. As the Head Teacher of St Margaret Mary RC School, I have had the privilege of working closely with Barbara and can attest to her exceptional expertise and dedication in the field of education, particularly in supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Barbara is a highly experienced and passionate professional who has made an invaluable contribution to our school and the wider educational community. Her deep knowledge and understanding of SEND education have been instrumental in improving the standards and support we provide for our pupils with additional needs. Through her work as an external agency, Barbara has led successful parent workshops on fine and gross motor skills, as well as provided comprehensive Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for our staff in the early years and beyond. Her intervention ideas and one-to-one tutoring have also played a crucial role in helping our pupils reach their full learning potential.
Barbara's conduct and character are exemplary. She is highly articulate, flexible, and knowledgeable, and her professionalism is evident in all her interactions with the school community. Her passion and enthusiasm for learning and achievement are truly infectious, and she has a proven track record of successfully running her own business to assist and train staff in schools.
As a leading expert on SEND education across primary and secondary settings, Barbara has made a significant impact on the lives of countless pupils. Her dedication and commitment to ensuring that every child reaches their full potential are truly inspiring. I would welcome any opportunity to work with Barbara further, and I have no hesitation in recommending her for any role or position that aligns with her exceptional expertise and experience.
