I am Apurva Somvanshi, an educator in inclusive practice and SEND, and an MSc Psychology student. I offer guidance for children, parents and early-career learners.
Children don't grow because they're compared. They grow because they're understood.
Apurva Somvanshi, on comparison and confidence
About me
My name is Apurva, and I am an educator specialising in inclusive practice and SEND support, with experience across different regions and classrooms. I am also studying for an MSc in Psychology to deepen my understanding of learning, behaviour and mental wellbeing.
My approach combines teaching, mentoring and wellbeing support to help learners grow both academically and personally.
Every child, parent and learner deserves support. Choose the programme that fits.
Practical, evidence-informed strategies to nurture children's learning, emotional wellbeing, confidence and positive behaviour.
Build confidence, strengthen communication and language skills, and become more resilient and independent.
Personalised mentoring for students, graduates and early-career professionals moving from education into work.
How I work
Every session starts with listening. The plan comes after.
We begin with your goals, worries and history, so the support fits the person in front of me.
Interests and strengths are the doorway into harder skills, never an afterthought.
Children grow best when parents and educators work together, so I share strategies you can use at home.
Clear goals, regular reviews and an action plan you keep after the sessions end.

I had the absolute privilege of being Apurva's mentee through the Global Mentorship Initiative (GMI) program. From our very first session, she went above and beyond to make sure I felt supported and understood. She is incredibly organised, always planning our meetup times well in advance, and consistently checking in on my progress between sessions. Her kindness and genuine dedication made every meeting something I truly looked forward to. I must say, I have benefited 100% from her guidance and highly recommend her as an exceptional leader and mentor.

How to start
No forms to get right and no commitment. A short message is enough.
A few lines is enough to start.
Usually within a few days, to ask a couple of questions or suggest a time.
If a programme fits, we book the first consultation.
Tell me a little about your child or your goals and I will get back to you.
