Personalised Online SEN Tutoring for Your Hastings Family
The right tutor does more than just teach; they connect. They take the time to understand your child's world, their interests, their frustrations, and what makes them light up. Imagine the relief of finding someone who sees your child’s strengths first, and then gently builds the skills they need to navigate their challenges. It’s a partnership built on trust and a shared belief in what’s possible. Every session is built around your child. A tutor might use interactive digital whiteboards to make abstract concepts visual, introduce assistive technology to help with writing, or use game-based learning to keep focus and energy high. It's about finding what works for *them*, celebrating every small victory, and turning moments of 'I can't' into powerful feelings of 'I can'. Because tutoring happens online, your family’s busy schedule is always the priority. There’s no travel across Hastings after a long school day. Your child can learn from their own comfortable space, connecting with a SEN specialist from anywhere in the UK. This means you’re not limited to who’s local; you can find the perfect expert for your child, right from your living room.

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
Is online tutoring suitable for a child with SEN? I'm worried about engagement.
It’s a common concern, but online tutoring can be brilliant for learners with SEN. Tutors use interactive tools, virtual whiteboards and personalised resources to make learning engaging and multi-sensory. For many children, learning in their own familiar home environment in Hastings can actually reduce anxiety and help them focus better than in a classroom.
My child is at a school in the Hastings area. How can an online tutor work with their specific curriculum or EHCP?
Our tutors are brilliant at complementing school-based learning. They can work with you to understand the goals in your child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) or their school's curriculum. They'll tailor their approach to reinforce what's being taught at school, filling in any gaps and building on their strengths.
What if my child doesn't connect with their first SEN tutor?
Finding the right personality match is absolutely vital, especially for SEN support. We're committed to getting it right. If the first session with a tutor isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
What specific qualifications or experience do your SEN tutors have?
Many of our SEN tutors are qualified teachers with specific postgraduate qualifications in Special Educational Needs, whilst others have years of direct experience working with children with a wide range of learning differences. Each tutor's profile details their specific experience and qualifications, so you can find the right specialist for your child.
Do you have tutors who specialise in particular needs like dyslexia, ADHD, or autism?
Yes, absolutely. You can filter your search for tutors with specific experience in areas like dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions (ASC), and more. This ensures you can find an expert from across the UK who truly understands your child's learning profile.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the transition to a local college like East Sussex College Group?
Definitely. Transitions can be a big step, and a tutor can provide fantastic support. They can help build the independent study skills, organisational techniques, and subject-specific confidence your child will need to feel prepared and positive about moving on to further education.
My child's needs are more around social skills and organisation than a specific subject. Can you help?
Yes. We have tutors who specialise in executive functioning skills, which cover organisation, time management, and planning. Many also have experience in helping children develop social communication skills and emotional regulation strategies, which are just as important as academic success.
How much does specialist online SEN tutoring cost?
The cost varies 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 a brilliant, experienced tutor whose fee works for your family's budget.
How flexible are the schedules for students in Hastings?
Very flexible. Because our tutors are based across the UK, you have a much wider range of available times, including evenings, weekends, and during school holidays. You can schedule sessions at times that fit around your family life, without worrying about travel or local availability.
How do we find the best SEN tutor for our child's specific personality?
We recommend reading tutor profiles, watching their introductory videos, and checking reviews from other parents. This gives you a great sense of their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to ask specific questions and ensure they're the right fit for your child.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you informed of your child's progress. More importantly, you'll start to see it for yourself – in their growing confidence, their willingness to tackle tricky homework, and the new sense of self-belief they bring to their learning.
My child's needs are more around social skills and organisation than a specific subject. Can you help?
It's simple. All your child needs is a computer, laptop, or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our platform has a built-in video classroom with an interactive whiteboard, making lessons easy to access and engaging.
