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 live in a rural part of the New Forest. How can online tutoring help us?
That’s one of the biggest benefits of Tutorful. Online tutoring removes geography as a barrier, meaning your child can connect with a specialist SEN tutor from anywhere in the UK, right from your home. It gives you access to the best support without the need for stressful and time-consuming travel.
Can a tutor help with the learning goals in my child’s EHCP?
Absolutely. Many of our SEN tutors have extensive experience working with EHCPs and can create a learning plan that complements the goals set for your child. They can provide targeted support to help your child meet their objectives and prepare for their next steps, whether that's at a local secondary school or a college like Brockenhurst.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right relationship is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the best Special Educational Needs tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they are the perfect fit for your family.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build their confidence?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from feeling left behind in a busy classroom. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions and learn at their own pace. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement from a dedicated tutor can make a huge difference to their self-esteem.
How much does SEN tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing ideas, and the ability to upload documents. It's a secure and effective learning environment.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all. While we have many tutors for core subjects, we also have experts who can help your child develop hobbies and life skills, from learning to play the guitar to coding or even building study skills for university.
How quickly will we see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focus is on building confidence and understanding from the very first session. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, showing that consistent, tailored support makes a real difference.
What if our family schedule is really busy?
We know life can be hectic. With Tutorful, you arrange session times directly with your chosen tutor, giving you the flexibility to find a schedule that works for everyone without adding extra stress to your week.
How many other families have used Tutorful?
You're in great company. We’ve helped over 200,000 students find the perfect tutor, and we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you. We're here to help your family too.
