Special Educational Needs support is about so much more than just getting through the school day. It’s about building the skills that allow your child to flourish in any environment. Imagine your child learning to organise their thoughts for an essay without feeling overwhelmed, or developing strategies to manage their anxiety before a test. It's about giving them the tools to not just participate in class, but to feel confident in their own abilities, ready for the next step in their education and life.

One-to-One SEN Support That Fits Your Kingston upon Thames Family
The right tutor takes the time to truly understand your child – their frustrations, their passions, and the unique way they see the world. We connect you with specialists who know how to adapt, listen, and build the trust that turns 'I can't' into 'I'll try'. This is a partnership where your child feels seen, valued, and finally understood, which is the foundation for real learning. Each session is a space designed for your child. A tutor might use interactive tools to explain a tricky maths concept, break down a large project into small, achievable steps that align with their EHCP goals, or simply work on building the confidence to ask for help. It’s patient, targeted support that creates those wonderful 'aha!' moments and shows them they are more than capable. Because it’s all online, you can forget the stress of travelling across Kingston upon Thames for appointments. We bring the UK’s most experienced SEN tutors directly to you, at a time that fits your family's schedule. This flexibility means your child gets consistent, high-quality support from the comfort and safety of home, giving you one less thing to worry about.

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 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
My child finds the academic pressure in Kingston upon Thames overwhelming. Can an SEN tutor help with that?
Absolutely. This is a concern we hear from many parents in the area. Our SEN tutors specialise in helping children build not just academic skills, but also resilience and coping strategies. They can work with your child to manage anxiety, develop organisational skills, and approach their schoolwork in a way that feels manageable, building their confidence to handle the local academic environment.
Can an online tutor work with the goals outlined in my child's EHCP?
Yes, many of our tutors have extensive experience in this. When you message a tutor, you can discuss your child’s EHCP and learning goals. They can then tailor their sessions to complement and reinforce the strategies and targets outlined in the plan, providing consistent support that works in harmony with their school's provision.
How does online tutoring work for a child with special educational needs?
Online tutoring can be incredibly effective. It takes place in a familiar, low-sensory home environment, which many children find less distracting. Our online classroom has interactive tools like whiteboards that can make learning more engaging and accessible. It also gives families in Kingston upon Thames access to specialist SEN tutors from across the UK, not just those who live locally.
How do you vet tutors for SEN experience?
We take this very seriously. All tutors are background-checked, and we only accept 1 in 8 applicants. Many tutors on our platform have specific qualifications and extensive experience in teaching students with a wide range of needs, including dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and autism. You can read about their specific expertise on their profiles and message them to ask detailed questions before booking.
What happens if my child doesn't connect with their first SEN tutor?
Finding the right personality fit is crucial, especially for SEN support. We want you and your child to feel comfortable. If the first session with a tutor 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 different tutor.
Is SEN support only for core subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all. Whilst many parents seek support for core subjects, our tutors can also help with a wide range of areas. This includes study skills, organisation, revision techniques, life skills, and building social confidence. We believe in supporting the whole child, not just their academic performance.
How much does online SEN tutoring cost for a student in Kingston upon Thames?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced SEN specialist that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to download. It's designed to be straightforward and easy to use.
How do I find a tutor who specialises in my child's specific needs?
You can use the search filters on our website to find tutors with experience in specific areas, such as ADHD, autism, or dyslexia. We recommend reading through their profiles and reviews, and then messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific situation before booking a lesson.
Can online tutoring help my child with the 11+ or grammar school entrance exams?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced in preparing students for entrance exams, including the 11+. For a child with SEN, a tutor can help break down the exam content into manageable chunks and teach specific strategies to cope with time pressures and exam anxiety.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, but you can arrange different lengths with your tutor. For some children with SEN, shorter, more frequent sessions (e.g., 45 minutes) can be more effective. It's completely flexible and can be adapted to suit your child's concentration and learning style.
How much does online SEN tutoring cost for a student in Kingston upon Thames?
Yes, we do. We have specialist tutors who can support students through their A-Levels, university applications (including writing personal statements), and even undergraduate studies. They can help with subject-specific content as well as advanced study skills and executive function strategies.
