5.0(1)

Hi! I’m Sarahlynn Hodder, the founder of Bettering Youth I'm so pleased that you’re here to find out more about our passion to support children on their academic and emotional learning journeys, whether that be at home or in schools. Bettering Youth is an Ascot-based tuition company, and we’re on a mission to help children excel both in the classroom and beyond! I created Bettering Youth back in 2017. Over the years we have established ourselves as the only tutoring service that focuses on emotional and mental wellbeing of children. Our unique approach sets us apart and establishes us as leading tutoring providers and mental wellbeing coaches. We work with families in the following capacities: preparing for 11+ exams, studying for common entrance exams study skills and tutoring for GCSE exams building confidence in Maths, supporting reluctant readers, inspiring hesitant creative writers creating full academic learning journeys for home educating families coaching children one-to-one on emotional issues (anger, anxiety, OCD, body image) Both myself and the team of highly experienced tutors are profoundly passionate about teaching children: not only academically but emotionally as well. We’re all experienced teachers who are dedicated to supporting our students’ welfare above and beyond the academic requirements. As educators, our role is never simply to teach the curriculum; our goal is always to support the development of our amazing young people who all have emotions and worries, the same as you and me. Whether you work directly with me or one of my hand-picked team, rest assured that you’ll always receive the same Bettering Youth quality and value. All tutors undergo a rigorous selection process, hold an emotional wellbeing certification, and undertake a monthly workshop to ensure we're all presenting high-quality academic and pastoral care to support your child to thrive.

Creative Resilience International

I am passionate about resilience and helping people understand how important resilience is in our lives. I studied with some of the leading international experts working to promote resilience. For the last 5 years I have been actively promoting resilience with individuals, families, organisations and communities. I had spent many years working in the field of positive psychology and therapy and it was here in Barcelona that I discovered the world of resilience and was lucky enough to attend the first post graduate course in the Promotion of Resilience at the University of Barcelona. This allowed me to meet and learn from leading figures in Resilience work in Europe and Latin America and the most generous teachers. I also studied a postgraduate diploma in mental health and migration. Moving around can bring opportunity but also challenges. I have lived in many countries and met a lot of diverse and truly inspiring people in different cultures and languages. Living an international life can feel like an amazing adventure but also comes with its challenges and I have worked with many individuals and families over the years helping them to find their feet again. Life experience, literature, music and films have always fed my resilience work but I have been studying and researching along the way to back up my instincts with analysis and ideas based on theory and practice. Here you can read some of my research in English and Spanish.
