She founded Love2Learn to ensure that every learner receives the specialist, lawful, and compassionate education they are entitled to; education that truly meets their needs. "I worked across primary and middle schools and saw first-hand how children with special needs were being left behind. Schools were under immense pressure to hit government targets, which meant that attention went to those most likely to meet them.  The children who needed the most help were often the ones who received the least. In one meeting, every child was represented as a data point on a graph.  Two lines were drawn: the children at the top, who were already on track, and the children at the bottom, who were deemed unlikely to meet national targets and described as a poor use of resources. We were told to focus our efforts on the middle group who had ‘potential’.  I understood the pressure that leaders were under, but I couldn’t keep working in a system that reduced children to numbers. That moment was the reason I left mainstream education. I went on to lead a resource base for children on the autistic spectrum and later became curriculum lead in a specialist school. But I wanted to work in a way that was authentic, that truly met children’s needs, fulfilled our legal duty, and honoured their human rights. Love2Learn began with a handful of families in Birmingham and, through their  recommendations, has grown into a team of over 40 specialist tutors supporting learners aged 4 to 25 and beyond across the UK. Every tutor on our team brings a unique set of skills and experience. My role as Principal is to match each learner with the tutor best placed to meet their needs, to support our tutors professionally, and to give every young person the best possible chance of success. Together, we combine specialist expertise with genuine care to deliver education that changes lives."
