EP 136: Education systems fail neurodivergent children with Julia Silver, founder of Qualified Tutor
Description
Education systems often fail neurodivergent children, but the right support can transform their learning journey. Julia Silver, founder of Qualified Tutors and mother to five neurodivergent children, shares how tutoring can rebuild confidence and love of learning for children struggling in traditional education.
• Understanding that schools can't meet every child's needs – even with the most dedicated teachers
• How tutoring offers personalized support that goes to where the student is
• The importance of rehabilitation periods when children are excluded from school
• Finding tutors who build relationships with both parents and children
• Seeing neurodivergent children as teaching us to rethink our assumptions about education
• Recognizing that academic success doesn't equal life success
• The value of offering children autonomy rather than demanding compliance
• Teaching executive functioning skills to help children feel in control
• Statistics showing 25% of UK children now use tutors, yet the profession remains unregulated
• Research evidence that tutoring creates five months of academic progress
• Building a child's ability to connect effort with attainment
• How AI might complement human teaching for truly personalised learning
• The importance of parents accepting they can't do it all
