One-to-One SEN Tutoring That Truly Understands Your Child
In a busy classroom, it's easy for a child to feel unseen. The right SEN tutor changes that completely. They take the time to discover how your child thinks, what makes them curious, and where the barriers are. It’s a partnership built on trust and patience, creating a safe space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and trying again, knowing they have someone entirely on their side.
Each session is shaped around your child's immediate needs, helping them build the exact skills they need for what's ahead. This might mean developing coping mechanisms for a louder classroom, practising how to organise their homework, or finding a new way to approach a topic that's causing frustration. It's practical, confidence-building support that translates into real change, both in and out of school.
Best of all, this support fits around your family's life. From your home in Merseyside, your child can connect with a specialist from anywhere in the UK, without any travel or stress. It provides a consistent, reassuring presence during times of change. With over 4,100 positive reviews, we've seen how the right, flexible support can make all the difference.

Enthusiastic Special Educational Needs Tutor of Law with SEN experience
I have removed my availability calendar as the calendar on tutorful does not take into account lessons I do into schools, private tutees and other platforms I work on.

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!
