The One-to-One SEN Support That Makes a Real Difference
The right tutor takes the time to understand your child as an individual. They'll look at the specific goals in their EHCP, listen to their frustrations and celebrate their breakthroughs. This isn't about generic worksheets; it's a partnership built on trust, where your child feels safe to ask questions and try new ways of learning. It’s seeing that moment of recognition when a concept that seemed impossible suddenly makes perfect sense. Each session is built entirely around your child's needs. If they struggle with processing information, their tutor can break down complex topics into manageable steps. If they need support with executive functioning, the lesson can focus on planning and organisation. Because we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, you can be sure you're connecting with a true specialist who knows how to adapt their teaching to fit your child, creating a positive and productive learning environment. Forget the stress of extra travel after a long school day. Online tutoring fits around your family's life in Liverpool. Your child learns from a comfortable, familiar space, connecting with an expert who could be anywhere in the UK. This flexibility means you get access to the very best SEN specialists, not just whoever happens to live nearby, giving your child the dedicated support they need to succeed on their own terms.

It only syncs to the lessons booked on tutorful, not my up-to-date availability.I do have availability, limited slots during the day, mainly evening and weekend lessons now. However, I do get booked up fast and months in advance.It is always better to discuss this with me first before you request a lesson, and if you cannot find something, I will always do my best to accommodate your needs.About Me I'm Amba.

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's EHCP support feels inconsistent at their large Liverpool comprehensive. How can a tutor help?
We understand this is a major concern. An online tutor acts as a consistent, dedicated partner. They can work directly with the goals outlined in your child's EHCP, providing the focused, one-to-one reinforcement that can be challenging to deliver in a busy classroom. It ensures that vital support is happening every single week.
We're aiming for a post-16 course at The City of Liverpool College. Can tutoring help bridge the gap?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for further education. They can identify any learning gaps, build subject knowledge, and develop the exam techniques and study skills essential for success, giving your child the best possible chance of getting onto their desired course.
Is online tutoring effective for a child with Special Educational Needs?
For many learners, it's ideal. The home environment is familiar and has fewer distractions than a classroom. Sessions are one-to-one, meaning the tutor's attention is entirely on your child. Plus, online tools like interactive whiteboards can be brilliant for different learning styles. It provides a focused, calm space to learn.
How do you find the right SEN tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, filtering by their specific SEN experience, from dyslexia and dyscalculia to ADHD and ASC. You can read reviews from other parents and message tutors beforehand to find the perfect fit. It's about finding an expert who not only has the right skills but also connects with your child.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
Finding the right person is the most important thing, and sometimes it takes a try or two. We have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
My child needs help with life skills and organisation, not just a specific subject. Do you offer that?
Yes, many of our SEN specialist tutors focus on developing executive functions and life skills. This can include anything from time management and revision planning to strategies for staying focused. These are crucial skills for academic success and future independence.
Are your tutors qualified to support children with SEN?
Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, have specific SEN qualifications, or possess extensive experience working with learners with a wide range of needs. You can view each tutor's qualifications and experience clearly on their profile to make an informed choice.
How much does online SEN tutoring cost for a student in Liverpool?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of specialism. This allows you to find an expert tutor who fits within your family's budget.
What technology do we need for online sessions?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our purpose-built online classroom has everything else you need, including an interactive whiteboard, built right in.
How flexible is scheduling? My child has other appointments and after-school clubs.
That's a key benefit of online tutoring. You're not tied to a local tuition centre's hours. You can arrange sessions directly with your tutor for times that suit your family, whether that's evenings, weekends, or during school holidays.
How do we track our child's progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can message them at any time to ask questions or discuss progress. The goal is to work in partnership with you to support your child's learning.
Are your tutors qualified to support children with SEN?
This is often the biggest change parents tell us they see. When a child starts to understand a topic they found difficult, in a supportive, non-judgemental space, their self-belief grows. That newfound confidence often has a positive impact on their work in school too.
