Positive about young people
The Emscote School
Emscote PAYP is an independent school based in Warwickshire with the aim of providing Educational and Development support. They work specifically with young people who are experiencing difficulties at mainstream school to stay in education.

Emscote have 20+years’ experience of working with the most hard to reach and vulnerable young people across Coventry and Warwickshire,within schools and communities.

The Emscote School's perspective
“We sought an experienced teaching partner to help us provide core curriculum tuition, and the flexibility of Tute’s provision
and quality of teachers perfectly suited our needs. Tute’s 45 minute, small-group lessons are a great way for our pupils to ease back into the learning routine. Having the option to not be seen by the teacher on screen is especially useful as it gives students the confidence to engage and focus on their studies.”
