LOCAL EDUCATOR BUILDS INCLUSIVE TUITION BUSINESS SUPPORTING NEURODIVERGENT LEARNERS

After more than two decades of working in education, Tanya Dukhovnikova a local teacher has turned her experience into a powerful force for change— launching a bespoke tuition business designed especially for neurodivergent children and young people.

Based in Hillingdon, the business, Precise Tutoring was born from a deep belief that every learner deserves an education that recognises and builds on their strengths. With a strong track record of leading specialist provisions and supporting children with additional needs, Tanya knew there was a better way to help young people thrive— one that focused on inclusion, fairness, access, and future potential.

Since launching last year, she has already made a significant impact. Through customised learning packages, she has helped children and teens grow in confidence, develop functional skills, build positive habits, and transition into their next steps—whether that’s college, community life or employment. But this work goes far beyond tutoring. As Tanya explains, “It’s about offering the kind of guidance that truly gets who these young people are and gives them space to be themselves. I support not just academic skills, but also communication, independence, and emotional well-being. It’s about the whole person.”

The business also works closely with families, educators and local authorities, ensuring every child’s support system is working in harmony. “When everyone’s on the same page,” she adds, “young people move forward so much more confidently.”

Now, she’s stepping into the next phase. Alongside direct support, she is developing digital resources and launching a new community enterprise —a social venture aimed at creating even more inclusive, creative and accessible education options locally and beyond.

“There’s so much possibility,” she says. “We’re exploring community projects, skill-building programmes, even self-directed learning opportunities down the line. My mission is to make sure no child or family is left behind.”

As awareness around neurodiversity continues to grow, Tanya is leading the change—one personalised, nurturing step at a time.
