Shannon Davis

Hi, I’m Shannon! Founder and lead educator at Student Discovery Learning. I’ve poured my heart into creating something special - an online learning platform, a nurturing forest school, and bespoke learning journeys that welcome both home-educated and mainstream children. I also partner with local authorities to strengthen their SEN provision, helping foster more creative and inclusive learning environments. At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief; education should be flexible, meaningful, and centered on each child’s unique needs and potential.

Eb Davis

Hi, I’m Eb! A passionate educator with roots in secondary education and food technology. I love weaving creativity into everything I do; designing hands-on courses for kids, growing a garden from the ground up, and leading community projects like our shared library, food drives, and seasonal events for children. My goal is simple - to spark curiosity, build meaningful connections, and create a warm sense of belonging, both inside and outside the classroom.

  • "My 13 year old daughter (and me!) have found a safe haven with SD Learning. She had a really hard time integrating into a new secondary school to the point that we had to make a decision to home-educate her and we were truly at sea with it all. Shannon and Ebony have extended their warm welcome and have helped us build a tailor-made well-rounded time-table for my daughter (including group workshops and 1:1 tutoring). She is so much happier with the small group size, kind teachers and focused attention to her progress."

  • "We were worried when we were looking for a tutor, that our daughter will not listen to any of her new teachers. To our biggest surprise, Shannon and her environment with cats and a dog around her was an instant winner. We are still attending her classes and our daughter learns a lot."

  • "I have found Shannon’s details in a Facebook group and got contact with her. We swiftly setup a trial lesson for my daughter, and we have not stopped going to her lessons ever since. I can highly recommend her and her methods."

  • "We cannot thank Shannon and Ebony at SD Learning enough for their incredible support! Our daughter had a difficult time in mainstream school due to bullying and a lack of SEN support. We made a tough decision to home-educate, and without their guidance, I would have truly struggled. Our daughter’s confidence has soared and she is making great progress, both Shannon and Ebony have brought her out of her shell. Their warm family-like inclusion has been such a comfort to us during a tough time, and we feel fortunate to have found this safe haven. I can’t recommend Shannon and Ebony enough for anyone considering a more tailored, supportive educational environment."
