More Than Lessons: Building Skills for Life
Specialist tutoring is about personal growth, not just grades. It’s about giving your child the tools to navigate the world with confidence. When a child who struggles with organisation learns to map out their revision, they’re not just preparing for an exam; they’re building executive function skills for life. When they learn to advocate for the learning style that works for them, they gain a voice they can use in any classroom or workplace. This is about nurturing resilience and a powerful sense of self-worth.

The Right SEN Support, Built Around Your Child
The right tutor sees the brilliant child behind the challenges. They take the time to understand your child's unique way of seeing the world, celebrating their strengths and patiently working on areas they find tricky. We've seen the difference it makes when a child feels truly heard – it’s the foundation for real progress. That’s why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply; your child deserves an expert who gets them. Imagine lessons where things finally click. A tutor might use colour-coded mind maps to help organise thoughts for an essay, or interactive games to make maths concepts tangible. It’s about adapting the teaching to the learner, not the other way around. Each session is a safe space to ask questions without fear, try new strategies, and experience the brilliant feeling of “I can do this!”. Over 200,000 students have found their confidence with us. And it all happens online, fitting seamlessly into your family’s life in Newcastle upon Tyne. No stressful journeys after school, just effective, one-to-one support from the comfort of home. This flexibility means your child can connect with the ideal specialist for their needs, whether that tutor is in Aberdeen or Brighton. It’s expert help that works for you.

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 our EHCP won't capture everything. Can a tutor bridge the gap for a child attending a large Newcastle school?
Absolutely. This is a common concern for parents. A one-to-one online tutor can provide the specific, individualised support that's often difficult to deliver in a busy classroom. They can work in partnership with you and your child's school, focusing on the precise areas identified in the EHCP—or those you feel were missed—to build skills and confidence.
My child feels overwhelmed and their confidence is low. How can online tutoring help?
We understand completely. An online lesson is a calm, focused environment, free from classroom distractions. A specialist SEN tutor is skilled at building rapport and creating a safe space where your child can learn at their own pace. They celebrate small wins, rebuild self-esteem, and help your child see that they are capable of making progress.
Is online tutoring effective for children with Special Educational Needs?
Yes, for many children it's a fantastic option. The one-to-one focus minimises distractions, and tutors can use a range of digital tools like interactive whiteboards and educational apps to make learning engaging. It also gives families in Newcastle upon Tyne access to a much wider pool of specialist tutors from across the UK.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, especially for SEN support. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you feel the fit isn't quite right, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you vet your SEN tutors?
Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process. We verify their ID and qualifications, and all tutors must have a valid DBS check. We also conduct video interviews to assess their experience, teaching style, and passion for helping students. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.
Do you offer support for things like executive functioning or social skills?
Yes. Many of our specialist tutors have experience in supporting students with more than just academic subjects. They can help develop crucial life skills such as organisation, time management, emotional regulation, and social communication strategies. You can discuss your child's specific needs with tutors before booking.
How much do online SEN tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees, and you can message tutors for free to find the perfect fit for your budget and your child's needs.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our platform, so there's no complex software to install. It's designed to be user-friendly and effective.
Can tutoring be scheduled around our busy family life in Newcastle?
Of course. That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can schedule sessions for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's routine. There's no travel time involved, making it a convenient and stress-free way to get the support your child needs.
How do I find the right SEN tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, for example in supporting children with Autism, ADHD, or Dyslexia. You can read their bios, check reviews from other parents, and send them a message to discuss your child's needs before you book a lesson.
Can a tutor help with the transition to secondary school?
Yes, this is a key area where our tutors can provide immense support. They can help build the academic skills and organisational strategies needed for Key Stage 3, whilst also working on the confidence and resilience required to navigate a new and bigger school environment.
How much do online SEN tutors cost?
We do. We offer expert online tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academic topics like Maths and English to music, languages, and coding. So whether your child needs help with their GCSEs or wants to learn a new skill, we have a tutor who can help.
