WHO WE ARE
Passionate professionals supporting every learner
Kate Silcock
FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR
A fast-talking whirlwind who turns ideas into action with her creativity, positivity and unstoppable energy.
Has been known to speak faster than anyone can take notes
Kate is the Founder and Director of Flourish Tutoring, Alternative Provision & Wellbeing, a pioneering education provider supporting over 400 students across Wirral, Cheshire, and the North West. With a deep passion for redefining education, Kate has built a company that goes beyond traditional tutoring, offering innovative alternative provisions and wellbeing programmes designed to meet the unique needs of every young person.
Driven by her own experiences and a commitment to empower students who haven’t thrived in mainstream education, Kate ensures that all learning styles and neurodiversities are valued.
Under her leadership, Flourish has grown a dedicated team, created meaningful roles, and inspired educators to take control of their own wellbeing while helping students re-engage with learning, build confidence, and flourish personally and academically.
As a mum of two children, Kate brings a personal understanding of the importance of tailored learning and wellbeing, ensuring that every student at Flourish feels supported, safe, and empowered to reach their potential. Her philosophy is simple: often, it is the environment, not the student, that needs to change, and through Flourish, she is creating spaces where young people can truly thrive.
