Founders Welcome
Founders Welcome
Since founding Kernow Tuition Limited, I have been thrilled to develop a bespoke one-to-one tuition service here in Cornwall, dedicated to supporting each child as an individual. I am passionate about understanding the unique story of every learner and creating an approach that truly meets their needs, whether academically, socially, or emotionally. I love working alongside a team of exceptional tutors and educators who share my commitment to personalised teaching and helping children reach their full potential. Collaboration with parents, carers, and other professionals is central to everything we do, ensuring that each child receives consistent and thoughtful support. At Kernow Tuition, nurture, trust, and flexibility are at the heart of our approach—and are key to the success of both our students and our team.
Fay
Founder & Managing Director
Fay Morris founded Kernow Tuition after recognising that traditional school settings do not suit every child. With over five years of experience supporting learners who face barriers to mainstream education, Fay has worked extensively with children with SEND and guided many families through their EHCP review journeys, collaborating closely with schools, local authorities, and other professionals to secure the best outcomes.
Fay graduated from Newcastle University in 2012 with a PGCE in Education and began her career teaching in a variety of schools across the UK. Through this experience, she saw that each child’s behaviour often reflects their individual experiences and circumstances. Fay believes that every child has a unique story, and that behaviour is often a reflection of their experiences. This perspective informs a trauma-informed approach to teaching, where understanding, empathy, and personalised support are at the heart of every lesson. Under her leadership, Kernow Tuition delivers high-quality, one-to-one learning that supports academic progress, personal development, and confidence.
Administration & Finance Manager
Amy McDonald brings over 20 years of experience in bookkeeping and administrative roles to Kernow Tuition. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Early Years Development and Education and a PGCert specialising in Autism, equipping her with a deep understanding of diverse learner needs. Amy is passionate about ensuring that Kernow Tuition operates with clear, efficient systems, allowing the team to focus on delivering high-quality education. She also understands the complexities that many of our families face, enabling her to provide empathetic support and practical guidance whenever needed.
Outside of work, Amy enjoys spending time in the countryside. She also has a creative side and enjoys building with LEGO, reflecting her love of problem-solving and attention to detail—qualities she brings to her role at Kernow Tuition.
