Building a Toolkit for Learning and for Life
Effective SEN support goes far beyond just getting through homework. It's about giving your child a personalised toolkit of strategies they can use for the rest of their lives. Imagine them learning a new way to organise their thoughts before starting an essay, or discovering a visual method for maths that finally makes numbers click. This is about transforming their relationship with learning, giving them the confidence to tackle challenges at their Exeter school, and preparing them for future steps like Exeter College or university.

The Right Support for Your Child, Right from Your Home in Exeter
The right tutor doesn't just teach; they connect. They take the time to understand what makes your child tick, what sparks their interest, and what causes them to stumble. It’s a partnership built on patience and celebrating small wins, turning moments of frustration into sighs of relief and real understanding. We help you find that person who sees your child's true ability.
Every session is designed entirely around your child's needs. If they thrive with visual aids, the lesson will be full of them. If they need to break tasks into tiny steps, their tutor will create a clear path forward. It’s this tailored approach that builds momentum, showing your child that they absolutely can do this, developing skills and self-belief they'll carry back into the classroom.
Because every lesson is online, you can forget stressful journeys after school. Your child learns from their favourite, most comfortable space – home. It also means families in Exeter can access top SEN specialists from anywhere in the UK, not just who happens to live nearby. It's expert support that fits seamlessly around your family's life, and it's trusted by over 200,000 students.

Find a tutor 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!
