Building a Plan Together: How SEN Tutoring Creates Real Progress
This isn't just about keeping up with schoolwork; it's about building the skills to flourish. When a child with additional support needs gets consistent, one-to-one guidance, they don't just grasp tricky concepts — they learn *how* they learn best. This is the foundation they need to confidently aim for competitive courses at the University of Glasgow or Strathclyde, equipped with strategies that will serve them for life. It’s about turning potential into possibility.

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
My child has a Co-ordinated Support Plan (CSP) in Glasgow. How can an online tutor help?
An online tutor can be a fantastic partner in supporting your child's CSP. They can work with you to understand the specific goals and strategies outlined in the plan, providing focused, one-to-one reinforcement that complements the support they receive at school. It's a way to ensure those targets are being worked on consistently in a calm, encouraging environment.
We worry our child won't keep up at a fast-paced secondary like Jordanhill or Hyndland. Can a tutor bridge that gap?
Absolutely. This is a common concern for many parents. A tutor provides a dedicated space where your child can pre-learn tricky topics, consolidate what was covered in class, and build foundational skills at their own pace. This proactive support can make a huge difference in helping them feel prepared and confident in a demanding academic environment.
How can you help build the independent study skills needed for universities like Strathclyde or Glasgow?
Our tutors focus on more than just subject knowledge. They work with students to develop crucial executive functioning skills: organisation, time management, and effective revision strategies. By building these habits in a supportive setting, they equip your child with the tools for independent learning, which is vital for success in higher education.
How does online tutoring work for a child who might need more hands-on support?
Our online classroom is interactive and engaging, with features like a digital whiteboard, screen sharing, and file sharing. Tutors are experienced in using these tools creatively to make learning tangible. For many children with SEN, learning from the comfort and safety of their own home actually reduces anxiety and helps them focus better than a new, in-person environment.
What if my child doesn't click with the first SEN tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is so important. We're committed to helping you find that perfect fit. If the first session isn't quite right, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How do you find tutors with specific SEN experience, like Autism or Dyslexia?
You can easily filter your search on our platform to find tutors with specific qualifications and experience in different areas of SEN. Each tutor's profile details their expertise, approach, and background, so you can make an informed choice. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers or specialists in the field.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can you help with life skills for a child with ASN?
We offer support across a huge range of areas. Whilst many parents seek help with core subjects like maths and English, our tutors can also help with social skills, organisational techniques, and even hobbies like coding or music. It's all about building confidence and finding what makes your child shine.
How much do online SEN tutors for students in Glasgow cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor whose fees align with your family's budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, every single tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check. We are committed to the highest standards of safety, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most students have one session a week, as this consistency helps to build momentum and reinforce learning. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor to create a schedule that best supports your child's needs and your family's routine.
Can we get feedback on our child's progress?
Of course. Our tutors believe in working in partnership with parents. You can expect regular updates and feedback on your child's progress, what they've been working on, and the plan for future sessions. Open communication is key to your child's success.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can you help with life skills for a child with ASN?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install. It's designed to be as easy and accessible as possible.
