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.

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 worried our child will get lost in a big East London comprehensive. How can an online tutor help?
This is a valid concern we hear from many parents. An online tutor provides consistent, one-to-one attention that's often hard to get in a busy classroom. They can work with your child to reinforce what's being taught at school, bridge any gaps in understanding, and build learning strategies that empower them to feel more confident and capable in the school environment.
Can an online SEN tutor help my child progress to colleges like Newham Sixth Form or Hackney Community College?
Absolutely. A key goal of our tutoring is to help learners build the academic skills and confidence needed for their next steps. Our tutors can focus on the specific entry requirements and study skills needed for further education, ensuring your child is well-prepared and feels ready to take that exciting step.
We're navigating the EHCP process in East London right now. Can tutoring provide support in the meantime?
Yes, and many families find it invaluable. Whilst the EHCP process is ongoing, tutoring can provide immediate, targeted support to ensure your child doesn't fall behind. It offers a proactive way to address their needs right now, providing consistency and building their confidence while you wait for official plans to be put in place.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a child with special educational needs?
It can be even more so. For many children with SEN, learning from the familiar, low-stress environment of their own home is a huge advantage. Our online platform uses interactive tools that make learning engaging, and it gives you access to a much wider range of SEN specialists from across the UK than you might find locally in East London.
What if my child doesn't click with their first SEN tutor?
The right relationship is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. We have a first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you ensure your SEN tutors are properly qualified?
We take this very seriously. We accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and our selection process includes background checks and interviews. Many of our SEN tutors have specific qualifications, such as degrees in education, PGCEs with SEN specialisms, or extensive hands-on experience working in schools with children with a wide range of needs.
How much does online SEN tutoring cost for a student in East London?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so prices vary. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find a specialist who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Communication is key. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress, highlighting areas of improvement and discussing the plan for upcoming sessions. You'll also see it for yourself – in their growing confidence, their attitude towards learning, and their ability to tackle tasks they once found daunting.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a computer, laptop, or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.
How flexible is scheduling around our family's commitments in East London?
Extremely flexible. This is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions at times that suit you and your child, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays, all without having to travel.
My child's needs are quite specific. Can we find a tutor who understands them?
Yes. Our platform allows you to read detailed tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and message them before booking. You can discuss your child's specific needs directly to ensure you find a tutor with the right experience and approach to help them thrive.
How much does online SEN tutoring cost for a student in East London?
We do. We have tutors who specialise in a wide range of areas, including life skills, study organisation, coding, music, and art. If there's something specific your child is passionate about or needs help with, there's a good chance we have a tutor who can help.
