Catherine Stoner

Private Advisor in Learning & Development

Building a Complete Picture of Learning

Standard academic interventions often focus narrowly on subject-specific problems or a SEND diagnoses, tending to prioritise exam performance above all else.

Catherine’s work is different. Working with learners aged 11 through to university, she develops a comprehensive understanding of each learner, examining strengths, motivations, and environmental influences. This holistic approach allows her to help learners recognise the unique ways they do (and don’t) learn effectively.

From this, she tailors strategies that empower learners to overcome obstacles and optimise their growth. She offers an independent voice which cuts through the noise to gain a clear picture of how your child can thrive. Learners build the confidence, resilience, and autonomy that is vital for lifelong learning.

Catherine collaborates with schools, parents, and learners, fostering meaningful and lasting improvements in how they learn and face challenges. Her work meets learners exactly where they are in their educational journey, supporting growth at every stage.
