Hello!
Welcome to BrightKids Education
At BrightKids Education, I believe every child has the potential to excel.
My mission is to provide personalised, holistic education support to parents and schools that addresses both academic and emotional needs.
Empowering Every Child to Shine Bright
A qualified SEMH, SEN, and trauma-informed teacher and examiner, therapist and trainee psychologist, Claudine supports families and schools that work with children and young adults who need help with school refusal, school anxiety and stress. She has extensive experience with Dyslexia, ADHD and ASD.
She helps to support provision in schools by working to implement and suggest tailored intervention strategies and appropriate trauma-informed emotional support.
"Enabling children to feel more comfortable about their learning environment and empowering teachers to differentiate on a deeper level for all students they work with."

My Services
SEMH Classroom Management Workshops for teachers & schools
Customised training for schools and departments to create effective and evidence-based behaviour management
I can deliver training and INSET workshops on understanding the children's response to trauma and social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Supporting schools to identify and support pupils with SEMH/behaviour needs in the classroom—creating effective plans for individual teacher/student needs.
14+ GCSE preparation, 16+ Study Skills
Individualised and differentiated learning to build study skills and exam support.
At secondary and post 16 level, I can support students through both GCSE, A Level and foundation exams which are crucial to students’ academic development. I support students learning through their English and Drama GCSE coursework whether that be long-term support or crash revision courses in the run-up to exams.
I provide individual plans and strategies to tackle exams no matter what learning needs are presented.
Mentoring and Confidence Building
Guidance and support from an experienced mentor to foster personal, emotional and academic growth.
You are either a student who is starting your journey towards Higher Education, or you are navigating personal difficulties and need to stay on track while you are supported by someone who understands your journey.
I can help. Sometimes working 1:1 will build your confidence which will develop your career. I can help you feel unstuck and get you prepared.

WHAT IS DYSLEXIA?
Dyslexia is something which affects hundreds of thousands of people across the UK. Having dyslexia means that you find learning the traditional way more difficult than others. It can affect memory, spatial awareness, processing, organisational skills, spelling, reading and writing.
TUTORING ARTS AND ENGLISH
The arts can have a profound impact on building confidence and encouraging collaboration and social skills. especially after coming out of a long lockdown, it's not just enough to expect kids to 'get back to normal' so quickly. They have essentially been roaming around their learning for a year now, with many vulnerable kids suffering at home. Adding the arts to the package for most of them will certainly help.
HOMESCHOOLING
It's tough, I know. During lockdown, I was teaching my own kids and other peoples. As a teacher, there was no respite but we did it because it's what we love. Helping others.
