Miguel de Sousa - Business of Tutoring Hub
Miguel’s objective is to get every child to excel in their education. His commitment is to offer tuition that will build your child’s confidence through focused one-to-one lessons in your home or online, placing them at peace with their schoolwork.
“I worked in hospitality for 30 years and loved it. But more than the food, wine and the beautiful places I experienced, I loved developing my Team. Today this is still why I get out of bed. There is no better legacy than sharing your knowledge and being part of someone’s development journey. It is also a great responsibility that I humbly accept.”
“It’s not all work, though. I can cook up a storm and love having people over to enjoy my food. I’m a simple person, but I do enjoy the finer things in life, and most of the time, they don’t have to be expensive. Number one on my bucket list at the moment is to learn to paraglide, get a new perspective on my ‘me time’.”

Sarahlynn Hodder - - SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND WELLBEING HUb - Emotional Wellbeing & Mental Health SpecialisT
While teaching within the classroom, Sarahlynn realised that many of the “Miss my stomach hurts”, and rambunctious behaviours could be addressed by unpicking the thoughts and concerns held by the child. This, coupled with mindfulness and NLP training alleviated much of the anxiety and pressure felt by the students. She became the pastoral lead in her school and supported the creation and delivery of an effective emotional literacy programme. But Sarahlynn knew that could only help so much within the confines of the classroom walls. Bettering Youth was founded in 2017 with the vision to: Teach academics + teach feelings + teach resilience = to promote success. The Bettering Youth model has developed over the years and is now a programme that can be adapted to support children of varying levels of need. Some need the well-being baked into the tutoring, while others require the programme to be delivered as its own module. With the help of some incredible partner tutors, Sarahlynn has grown the business by 400% in the last 4.5 years and is very excited to share her findings, knowledge, and experience with other educators who teach beyond the classroom. Sarahlynn is a proud member of the Qualified Tutor community and runs a monthly webinar, The Mindful Toolbox.
