Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're worried about securing an EHCP in Leicester in time for GCSEs. Can a tutor help now?

Yes, absolutely. Whilst you navigate the formal EHCP process, a specialist SEN tutor can provide immediate, targeted support. They can work with your child on study strategies, confidence-building, and specific subject areas, ensuring they don't fall behind and are prepared for their exams.

Can an SEN tutor help my child prepare for a course at Leicester College or Beauchamp College?

Definitely. Our tutors can help bridge the gap between GCSEs and post-16 study. They focus on developing the independent learning skills, organisational techniques, and subject-specific knowledge your child will need to thrive in a college environment.

Is online tutoring really effective for a child with special educational needs?

For many children, it's ideal. Learning from a familiar, comfortable home environment can reduce anxiety and sensory overload. Our online classroom has interactive tools that can be adapted to different learning styles, and it gives your family in Leicester access to SEN specialists from across the UK.

What if my child doesn't click with the first SEN tutor we try?

Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we understand that. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor to ensure you find the right person for your child.

How do you ensure your tutors are qualified to support children with SEN?

We take this very seriously. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers or have specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting students with a wide range of needs. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and all are background-checked, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

My child's needs are quite specific. Can we find a tutor who understands them?

Yes. The great advantage of online tutoring is the breadth of expertise available. You can browse tutor profiles which detail their specific experience, from dyslexia and dyscalculia to ADHD and ASC. You can find someone who truly gets your child's way of thinking.

How much does online SEN tutoring cost for a student in Leicester?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden costs or commitments.

Is SEN support just for core subjects like Maths and English?

Not at all. We have SEN-experienced tutors across the entire curriculum, from sciences and humanities to languages and creative arts. Whatever subject your child needs support with, we can help you find a tutor who understands their learning needs.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop 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.

Can tutoring help with my child's confidence and organisation skills?

This is often one of the biggest benefits parents report. Our tutors work to build self-esteem by celebrating small wins and creating a positive learning environment. They also teach practical skills like time management and revision planning, which are invaluable for school and beyond.

How flexible is the scheduling for lessons?

Completely flexible. You can arrange sessions directly with your tutor for times that suit your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. This is one of the key benefits of online tutoring – it fits around your life.

How much does online SEN tutoring cost for a student in Leicester?

Yes, we do. Beyond the curriculum, we have tutors who can help with things like public speaking, study skills, coding, learning a musical instrument and more. It's all about helping your child build skills and discover new interests.
