The founders of Clear Steps Plus Education are like minded colleagues and friends, who wanted to help support children in our local area. We have years of teaching experience within primary and secondary schools within the northwest, from being classroom teachers, to senior leaders and specialist leaders in education - supporting other schools in the improvement of teaching and learning. During our careers we have witnessed class sizes increase to unmanageable levels, budgets cut and children suffering as a result. Through no fault of their own teachers and teaching staff find it increasingly difficult to give children more focused support that they require on a daily basis. Children then struggle, their confidence decreases and they find it increasingly difficult to move onto the next stage of their learning. There are also consequences for more able children, who again are not always facilitated to achieve their very best and can in fact become disengaged. We want to help children in these circumstances, without the politics and red tape experienced within schools, that so often take time away from the 'real' job, that of educating our children to reach their full potential as a 'person'. We want to wholeheartedly support children in achieving their very best and enjoying their 'learning' journey, enabling every child we teach to 'shine'. Clear Steps Plus Education work with 'outstanding' teachers in order to ensure that all of the children whom we tutor are provided with the best quality teaching, which will in turn have the greatest impact on a child's progress and confidence.
