Education is a fundamental aspect of a child’s development, and as parents and guardians, we want the best for our children. However, traditional classroom settings may not always be the ideal fit for every child. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards home education, driven by various factors such as personal preferences, the impact of the pandemic, the specific needs of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), or a desire for a more flexible and tailored learning environment. 

Whether you are looking for an alternative education approach, seeking better grades for university admission, dealing with school refusal, or supporting a child with Special Educational Needs (SEN) outside traditional classrooms, NEC’s online programmes offer a compelling solution.

In this blog post, we will explore why NEC’s online programmes are an excellent choice for parents and guardians looking for non-traditional ways to educate their children and achieve academic success in GCSEs and A Levels.

Empowering education at your fingertips

NEC empowers you to educate your children with confidence. The online platform offers an extensive range of well-designed GCSE and A Level courses, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the national curriculum. You have access to expert tutors who provide guidance, feedback, and support, offering a truly personalised learning experience for your child.

Your level of involvement may vary based on the child’s age, learning style, and specific needs. NEC’s approach offers flexibility, allowing parents and guardians to adapt their involvement to their child’s individual requirements. Some children may benefit from more support and guidance, while others may thrive with greater independence. NEC acknowledges these differences and provides a customisable learning experience.

For parents and guardians with SEN children who may face barriers to attending school, NEC provides a compassionate and inclusive educational solution. NEC understands the unique needs of these learners and offers specialised support and resources.

From textbooks and workbooks to interactive online resources, NEC’s course materials ensure a rich and immersive learning experience that caters to various learning styles.

Tutor-assessed assignments

One of the key advantages of NEC is its tutor-assessed assignments. Through regular assessments, students receive personalised feedback, enabling them to monitor their progress and address any areas of improvement. This individual attention, combined with the expertise of NEC’s tutors, helps students achieve their academic goals effectively.

Flexibility for individualised learning

NEC understands that every child has unique learning requirements. With NEC, you have the flexibility to tailor your child’s study schedule to accommodate their needs, allowing them to learn at their own pace and in their preferred environment. This adaptability ensures that children can maximise their potential and develop a lifelong love for learning.

Comprehensive exam support

NEC recognises the importance of official qualifications and offers access to exam centres across the UK, making it convenient for home-educated students to sit for their GCSE and A Level exams. This ensures that children receive recognised certifications, opening doors to further education and future career opportunities.

Home education can be a rewarding and enriching journey for both parents and guardians and their children. With NEC, you can embark on this path with confidence, knowing your child has a trusted partner by their side.
