Study with Learning Differences Support online for your GED® Grade 12 Equivalency* with us.

Learning Differences

Because every student learns differently.

Some students need more than access to excellent learning resources. They need someone who understands how they learn, recognises what gets in their way, and helps them find a way forward that works for them.

Our Learning Differences Support programme combines Learnalot’s GED comprehensive learning resources with personalised, one-on-one tutoring through Tish Bateman Consulting.

This programme is particularly suited to students with ADHD, autism, executive functioning difficulties, learning differences, or those who find conventional learning environments challenging.

What’s included with Learning Differences ?

• Full access to Learnalot’s GED online learning platform and resources.
• An initial learning needs consultation to understand the student’s strengths, challenges and individual support requirements.
• Weekly individual online coaching sessions (30 minutes each).
• Personalised learning strategies based on the student’s individual needs.
• Support with planning, organisation, motivation and study habits.
• Ongoing monitoring of academic progress and learning challenges.
• Regular feedback to parents or guardians, where appropriate.
• Guidance and preparation for the GED examinations.

A different approach to learning

We recognise that academic progress isn’t always just about understanding the work.

For some students, the real challenges lie in getting started, staying focused, managing frustration, organising their learning or maintaining confidence when things become difficult.

Our approach looks beyond the academic content to understand the student as an individual.

Through consistent one-on-one support, we identify learning barriers, build on existing strengths, and develop practical strategies that help students become more confident and independent learners.

Who is this programme for?

This programme may be particularly beneficial for students who:

• Have ADHD, autism or other learning differences.
• Struggle with focus, organisation or executive functioning.
• Find traditional classrooms or group learning environments overwhelming.
• Need additional structure and accountability to maintain progress.
• Have experienced academic setbacks or lost confidence in their ability to learn.
• Benefit from a consistent, supportive relationship with an individual learning coach.

Every student deserves an opportunity to learn in a way that works for them.

Our goal is not simply to help students prepare for their GED examinations, but to equip them with the confidence, skills and strategies to move forward in their education.
