Our Story
Sharon Cawley founded Conexus Tuition September 2013, having worked since 1994 initially as an English teacher then rising through the traditional route of Second in Dept; Head of Year, at the same time, still found the need to do private tuition as well as a means of earning additional cash, usually around the kitchen table of a pupil. During this time, her life had an absolute lack of work-life balance.
Disillusioned, Sharon left the classroom in 2012 and embarked upon a role as a freelance tutor, working with small groups around her kitchen table, slots soon filled and what is more the pupils were then leaving her home to go off to another tutor for Maths or Science.
As a parent, she knew how time consuming and costly this would be. So, she restructured the tuition to suit all and joined everything together – Conexus Tuition. By bringing the specialist, subject tutors under one roof; local to the school, the children could walk after school, incurring no inconvenience to parents and reducing the cost to offer affordability to all. The successful Conexus Tuition model was conceived and the results have been simply overwhelming.
From opening the door with one pupil and two tutors, Conexus Tuition has grown into a permanent team of 20 tutors, serving multiple venues across the North-West and demand has never been greater. With over 300 children attending current classes and running on waiting lists; Conexus is proud to have worked with over a 1500 young people and their parents since the early days in 2013.
