Infinite Foundations
We get the conditions right before anyone opens a textbook.
Infinite Foundations is the groundwork for tuition, done before it or alongside it. It looks at how your child learns, the conditions they learn in, and how those conditions hold up week to week.
You may already think carefully about the conditions for your own work: where you do it, when, and what gets in the way. This programme applies the same thinking to how your child learns, for primary and secondary school children.
Three stages
1. The diagnosis and the playbooks
The Learning Profile maps how your child takes in, retains and applies information. We turn it into a parent playbook and a tutor playbook, so both adults work from the same picture.
The Learning Profile →2. The learning environment review
A structured review of the conditions around your child’s learning, which produces a short written plan of what to change.
3. Mentoring
Ongoing one to one mentoring that keeps the plan alive and adjusts it as things change.
The learning environment review
The review looks at where your child actually studies, and whether that space helps or hinders them. It looks at when they study, and whether the routine fits the rest of their week. It looks at what competes for their attention while they work. And it looks at whether starting is easy or a battle, and how schoolwork is talked about at home.
What you receive is a short written plan: three to five specific changes to make this week, and what to stop doing. The plan is then revisited in mentoring, so it is adjusted rather than left in a drawer.
Where tutoring fits
Tutoring is not a fixed step in the programme. It can start at any stage, according to what your child needs educationally, whether that is before the review or alongside mentoring.
What Infinite Foundations does not cover
Infinite Foundations is an educational programme. It improves the conditions around study. It is not a health service, and it does not cover:
- sleep disorders
- nutrition or supplements
- ADHD or autism assessment
- mental health
- vision or hearing
Where something outside that scope comes up, we say so plainly and point you to the right professional. We would rather tell you that than stretch a programme to fit something it was not built for.
If your child already has a diagnosis, or you have a suspicion or a pattern you have noticed, our SEN support page explains how we work alongside school and the support already in place. SEN support →
For practitioners
If you work with families and a child’s learning comes up, the boundary above is the one we work to. We are glad to talk about where Infinite Foundations fits alongside what you do, and where it does not.
