“I like the fact that we can adapt the learning for individual children to help fill the gaps in their learning”, says Kelly.  “I can call Tute up and say ‘oh, this child is really struggling, can I drop them down to KS2 level?’ and it would happen within hours”, she says. “I’ve never had to chase”.
