Student Support

LuxeBeauty Academy’s Additional Learning Support Officer

At LuxeBeauty Academy, our mission is to eliminate barriers to learning and ensure inclusive education for all. We are dedicated to supporting the academic achievement and employability skills development of both young people and adults. Our commitment aligns with Nigeria’s educational standards and best practices in equality and safeguarding.


Our Commitment to Inclusive Education

We collaborate with external organizations, parents, and professionals to address the unique needs of each student at LuxeBeauty Academy. Our learner-centered approach ensures that every individual has the opportunity to succeed in their education, training, and future employment. With a variety of in-house services, we encourage all learners to utilize these resources to overcome personal challenges and fully engage in their studies.


Learning Support Services

LuxeBeauty Academy provides tailored learning support for students who self-identify with learning barriers, such as learning difficulties, disabilities, or mental health challenges. Each case is individually assessed to ensure we meet the specific needs of our learners within our support framework.

For students who can provide evidence of their learning barriers, such as a formal assessment or diagnosis, we implement appropriate adjustments. These may include:

  • Extended Time: Additional time for exams and assignments.
  • Assistive Technology: Use of specialized equipment like reader pens or adjustable computers.
  • Support Personnel: Access to readers or scribes during examinations.

We partner with various support organizations to advocate for our students and assist with referrals to local support services, including educational psychologists and mental health professionals.

Supported Learning Barriers:

  • Dyslexia and Dyspraxia
  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Asperger Syndrome
  • Mild to Moderate Learning Difficulties
  • Physical or Sensory Needs
  • Mental Health Issues
  • Language, Literacy, or Numeracy Skills

If you have specific support strategies that work best for you, we strive to accommodate these throughout your course.
