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
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.
