About Me – Simon Agius
Tutor, Therapist, Coach, and Advocate for Helping People Thrive
Hi, I’m Simon Agius, and my passion lies in helping both children and adults overcome their challenges and thrive—academically, emotionally, and in life.
With my experience as a therapist, tutor, coach, and a BA Psychology student, I bring a unique combination of skills and empathy to my work.
Why I Do What I Do
Growing up, I didn’t thrive in school. In fact, I didn’t discover my love for learning until I was well into my 20s. That experience drives me to make sure that no child feels left behind or defeated by their studies. I truly believe that every child has the potential to succeed—they just need the right kind of support and encouragement.
As both a father of a school-aged daughter and a tutor working with children outside of mainstream education, I’ve seen firsthand how struggles in the classroom can deeply affect a child’s confidence. That’s why I focus on more than just academic improvement—I work to boost your child’s confidence and their love for learning in every session.
What I Do
By day, I work with Do Talk Write as an Alternative Education Tutor, providing tailored learning support to children who are outside of mainstream education. Many of these children struggle with confidence or feel disconnected from traditional learning environments, which is where my therapeutic background makes a real difference.
I also work one-on-one with children aged 7-11, offering personalised tutoring that focuses on reading, spelling, and core English skills. Whether I’m working with a child who feels anxious about school or a pupil who needs extra guidance to catch up, my sessions are designed to build both academic abilities and self-confidence.
My Approach to Tutoring and Therapy
I know how daunting school can be for some children, especially when they fall behind or lose confidence in their abilities. That’s why I take a completely individualised approach to tutoring, meeting your child where they are and creating personalised lesson plans that help them grow academically, while feeling supported every step of the way.
Whether your child needs help catching up in reading, improving their spelling, or building a stronger foundation in English, my sessions are designed to be engaging, interactive, and tailored to their pace and learning style. I use resources aligned with the Key Stage curriculum to ensure your child stays on track with schoolwork, but I go beyond that—I make learning fun and rewarding.
Why I’m Passionate About Helping Adults, Too
While my focus is on helping children build their academic skills and confidence, I also work with adults who want to improve their Functional Skills or reignite their learning journey. Many adults feel stuck in life or uncertain about their next steps, and I bring my coaching experience into the mix to help them identify their strengths and move forward with confidence.
Who I Work With
I work with a range of clients, including:
- Children aged 7-11 who need help with reading, spelling, and English core skills.
- Children outside of mainstream education, providing them with the focused support they need through my work with Do Talk Write.
- Adults who want to improve their skills, boost their confidence, or take the next step in their personal or professional journey.
