Beyond the EHCP: Building Skills for Life
This is about more than just getting through the next school test. It's about giving your child strategies that work for them, helping them understand how they learn best. When a learner discovers a new way to organise their thoughts for an essay or a technique to manage their focus during a tricky task, it’s a victory that extends far beyond the classroom. It's the kind of confidence that helps them contribute in a group project, tackle homework without frustration, and believe in their own ability to figure things out.

One-to-One Online Tutoring That Truly Understands
The right support starts with someone who takes the time to see your child for who they are. Not a statistic or a case file, but a unique person with their own strengths and hurdles. Our tutors build a genuine connection, creating a safe space where your child feels comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and trying again. It’s this partnership that turns ‘I can’t’ into ‘I’ll give it a go’. Every session is designed around your child's specific needs and goals. This isn't a pre-packaged programme; it's a dynamic, responsive approach. One week, the focus might be on breaking down a maths problem using visual aids. The next, it could be practising executive function skills for a big project. This is patient, targeted support that makes learning feel manageable and progress feel possible. And it all happens online, fitting around your family's life in Brighton. No stressful journeys after school, just effective, one-to-one learning from a comfortable, familiar space. You get access to the best SEND specialists from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby. We believe that over 200,000 happy students have found that the right support can make all the difference.

Siobhan R
My son has been tutoring with Siobhan for quite a while now and all i can say is how fantastic she has been in guiding him through his mathematics journey!
Her patience, ways of explaining and using visuals to help him understand, the time she takes to get to know how he learns and checking to ensure he fully grasps a concept, are all very commendable!
His confidence has increased and he looks forward to his lessons knowing that Siobhan will be there to support him in a subject that previously he was very anxious about.

Laura T
Laura conducted the lesson in a way that was suitable to my needs. She broke down the reading material so that I could read it paragraph by paragraph. She also backed it up by devising questions about the text to aid my comprehension. Towards the end of the lesson she reviewed how much I had learnt from what I read so far. I really like her style of teaching.

John M
I would like to share my positive experience with John's English lessons. My daughter thoroughly enjoys every session and looks forward to each one with great enthusiasm. John’s empathetic, professional, and friendly approach makes him stand out, and he creates a supportive and positive learning environment that truly benefits my daughter.
My daughter has special needs, including autism and attention challenges, but with John's help, she has been able to stay engaged and focused throughout the full hour of each lesson. In just a few lessons, she has made really good progress, and I am extremely grateful for John's patience, dedication, and encouragement.
His constant praise and positive reinforcement have been invaluable in boosting my daughter’s confidence and motivation. We are very thankful for the positive impact John has had on her learning journey.
Highly recommended!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're struggling with the local SEND services in Brighton. Can a tutor really fill that gap?
We hear this from many parents, and we understand the frustration. Whilst a tutor isn't a replacement for council services or an EHCP, they provide immediate, focused, one-to-one support that can make a huge difference right now. They can work on specific goals, build confidence, and give your child the dedicated attention that's often hard to get in a busy school environment.
My child attends a good Brighton school like Varndean or Dorothy Stringer but still needs help. How can a tutor complement their schoolwork?
Absolutely. Even in excellent schools, a class of 30 students means a teacher's time is divided. A one-to-one tutor can work in partnership with their school learning, reinforcing concepts, pre-teaching tricky topics to build confidence, or developing specific study skills that aren't the focus of the main curriculum. It's about adding that extra, personalised layer of support.
Is online tutoring effective for a child with special educational needs?
For many children, it's a fantastic option. Learning from a familiar home environment can reduce anxiety and sensory overload. Our online classroom has interactive tools that can be adapted to different learning styles, and the one-to-one focus means the tutor can tailor their approach entirely to your child's needs without classroom distractions.
What happens if my child doesn't click with the first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is essential, and we want you to be completely happy. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How are your SEND tutors vetted and qualified?
We take this very seriously. All our tutors are background-checked and interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 who apply. Many of our SEND tutors are qualified teachers, have specific certifications in special educational needs, or have extensive, proven experience working with learners with a wide range of needs.
Does tutoring only cover core subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all. Whilst many students need support in core subjects, our SEND tutors can also help with crucial skills like organisation, time management, revision techniques, and building study habits. We also have tutors for everything from coding to music, so your child can explore their passions too.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
Completely. This is one of the biggest benefits for busy families in Brighton. You're not tied to a local tuition centre's hours. You can arrange sessions for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's schedule, directly with your tutor.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our purpose-built online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.
How much do online SEND tutors cost for students in Brighton?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs. You can browse tutors and see their rates before you commit to anything.
Can tutoring help with my child's confidence, not just their grades?
This is at the heart of what we do. For many children with SEND, academic struggles can harm their self-esteem. A great tutor celebrates small wins, builds them up, and helps them see their own potential. Watching a child start to believe in themselves is the most important result of all.
Can we find a tutor who understands specific needs like dyslexia or ADHD?
Yes. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, and more. Their profiles provide detailed information about their expertise, so you can find the right specialist for your child.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
It's easy. Just enter 'Special Educational Needs' into the search bar on our site, and you can start browsing the profiles of top-rated tutors from across the UK. You can message them for free to discuss your child's needs before booking your first session.
