    FAQ

    What are life skills?

    Life skills are the everyday abilities we all need to live confidently & independently. They include things like communication, problem-solving, organization, self-care & social skills. At The Life Skills Project, we support learners to develop these practical skills alongside their academic learning.

    What is The Life Skills Project?

    The Life Skills Project is an SEN learning & support service for children & adults with Special Educational Needs (SEN).Combining relational care, structured evidence-linked practices & experiential learning across Surrey & UK wide. The Life Skills Project aims to maximize accessible learning & development opportunities for learners aged 9 – 18+.

    Who are your services for?

    Skills classes & individual learning are for individuals with SEN aged from 9 through adulthood, including individuals with diverse learning profiles. Family support & SEN training services are for families, professionals & organizations respectively.

    What are skills classes?

    Skills classes are small-group lessons in Numeracy, Literacy, Digital Skills, Reading & Drama. Learners can join the subjects they most need support with, developing skills step by step in a supportive environment.

    What are individual learning support sessions?

    Individual learning support sessions are comparable to traditional tuition, but more personalized & flexible. Sessions are one-to-one, designed around the learner’s strengths, challenges & goals. We focus not only on Numeracy, Literacy, Digital Skills, Reading & Drama Coaching, but also on building confidence, independence & lasting learning strategies.

    Who teaches sessions?

    Qualified teachers with SEN experience lead sessions, sometimes joined by at least one learning support assistant. This depends on the number of learners present as well as their individual support needs.

    How do you keep learners safe?

    All teachers & assistants are Enhanced DBS-checked and receive regular safeguarding & SEN training. Contact us to find out more.

    How do I start?

    Start by booking a consultation & a “meet the teacher” to agree a learning plan. Pricing varies by format; contact us for current fees & subscription options.
