Intensive Specialist Teaching
At DAS International we are aware of the pressures that parents face when trying to secure educational provisions for their children, especially when their children are not ‘typical’ learners and are experiencing difficulties with acquiring literacy skills.
We have therefore created the Intensive Specialist Teaching Programme, which is aimed at supporting children who are unable to secure a place in an international school or are struggling with an international or mainstream curriculum. The Intensive Specialist Teaching Programme is recommended if your child is struggling to catch up with mainstream education or awaiting entry into mainstream education. This programme is designed to bridge the learning gap.

Spotlight on Intensive Specialist Teaching
At DAS International, we understand that not every learner fits neatly into the expectations of mainstream or international school curricula. Some children need a more targeted, flexible, and supportive approach to help them bridge learning gaps and regain confidence in their abilities. That’s where our Intensive Specialist Teaching Programme steps in.
What is Intensive Specialist Teaching?
The Intensive Specialist Teaching Programme is specially designed for students who are:
Unable to secure a place in a mainstream or international school
Struggling to keep up with the academic demands of their current curriculum
Preparing to transition into formal schooling after a gap
In need of concentrated support during the school holidays
This programme offers short-term, high-impact support through individualised, one-to-one lessons delivered by our experienced Specialist Teachers. Whether it’s literacy, maths, or overall readiness, the focus is on closing the learning gap through carefully tailored intervention.
Individualised Support through IEPs
At the heart of our specialist teaching is the Individual Education Plan (IEP)—a customised roadmap that outlines your child’s learning goals, strengths, challenges, and strategies for success. These plans are developed in collaboration with parents and regularly updated based on progress, ensuring a responsive and empowering experience for every learner.
Why Choose an Intensive Approach?
For some students, steady weekly sessions are not enough to create momentum. That’s why our intensive option during school holidays can be a game changer. Students come in for several sessions across the week—allowing for consistency, immersion, and stronger reinforcement of key concepts.
This intensive format is particularly beneficial for:
Accelerating learning before a school transition
Targeting specific academic areas such as reading fluency, writing skills, or numeracy
Building confidence through focused, uninterrupted attention
Reigniting motivation for students who have become disengaged or discouraged
More Than Just Academic Support
Our Specialist Teachers are not only trained in evidence-based approaches (such as the Orton-Gillingham method), but they are also attuned to the emotional and social needs of struggling learners. Every session is a safe, supportive space where students can experience success—often for the first time in a long while. This fosters self-esteem, resilience, and a renewed love for learning.
Whether your child needs a boost to catch up, preparation for a school placement, or targeted intervention during the holidays, DAS International’s Intensive Specialist Teaching Programme offers the personalised support they need to thrive.
