Since 2010, HTS have provided experienced Readers, Scribes, Prompts and Invigilators for assessment support across eleven FE/HE institutions. We have received excellent feedback, increased allocations of this type of support, and are able to arrange at short notice.

Home Tuition Scotland has 10 years’ experience of providing qualified and experienced Mental Health Mentors (MHM) for College and University students, each requiring an individual approach.

HTS MHMs are all British Council of Counsellors and Psychotherapist (or equivalent)-registered professionals. They offer theoretical and practical knowledge of the different mental health challenges that can arise, mental health first aid training, and know how to deliver effective support to help ensure students complete their courses.

We provide specialist mentors to suit each individual student, for example, if a student has C/PTSD, we can allocate a trauma-expert, so they can help the student identify and develop strategies to cope with potential triggers.

HTS has experienced and qualified Needs Assessors, demonstrating a wide knowledge of disability/Additional Support Needs, who can provide student needs assessments at either FE or HE level.

Home Tuition Scotland works with Further and Higher education institutions across Scotland to provide professional Note-taking services for disabled students.

All of our Note-takers:

• Are experienced Note-takers who are educated to at least SCQF Level 9 standard

• Work with students, lecturers and other staff (where appropriate), such as BSL interpreters, to ensure high quality notes

HTS have been providing professional Proofreading services for over 15 years. Wherever possible, where Study Skills support is also being provided, we allocate the same person to undertake the proofreading. We can also provide standalone Proofreading services. HTS always endeavours to give individual students proofreading skills to encourage metacognition and independent learning.

Home Tuition Scotland offers over 10 years’ experience working with ASC-learners at Scotland’s FE Colleges and Universities.

Therefore, we apply practical knowledge of the types of challenges providing ASC support may raise, and the qualifications, experience and temperament that Learning Support Workers must have to enable each individual student to receive the most beneficial help.

For example, if a student has complex needs and challenging behaviour, then it will be necessary to arrange a mentor with sufficient experience in this, rather than someone who has only worked with mild Asperger’s.

Our ASC mentors are experts on transitions and are well-versed in liaising with student advocates, both professional and family.

HTS is a UK-Department for Education registered ASC Support practitioner so you can be assured our ASC mentors meet relevant SAAS, SFE/SFW or SFNI qualifications and requirements.
