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 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.

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 is going through the EHCP process in North East London. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Whilst we can't offer legal advice, a specialist SEN tutor can be an invaluable partner. They can help document your child's learning needs, build on specific skills outlined in professional reports, and provide targeted support that demonstrates their requirements, which can be helpful during the EHCP assessment process.
We're worried about our child starting a large secondary school in a borough like Havering. How can online tutoring provide support?
This is a common concern, and we're here to help. An online tutor provides a consistent, stable point of support outside the busy school environment. They can pre-teach complex topics, help with homework organisation, and build your child's confidence so they feel more prepared and less overwhelmed in a larger setting.
Is online tutoring really effective for a child with special educational needs?
Yes, for many children it's even more effective. Learning from the comfort and safety of home can reduce anxiety. Our online classroom has interactive tools that are fantastic for visual and kinaesthetic learners, and it gives your child in North East London access to a much wider pool of specialist SEN tutors from across the UK.
What if my child doesn't click with their first SEN tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, especially for SEN support. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If it doesn't feel like the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Can we find a tutor who specialises in a specific need, like Dyslexia or ADHD?
Yes. Many of our tutors have specific qualifications and extensive experience in areas like Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), and more. You can use the filters on our site to find tutors with the specific expertise your child needs, and you can message them before booking to discuss their experience.
How are your SEN tutors vetted and qualified?
We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor on Tutorful has been interviewed, had their ID checked, and undergone a DBS background check. Many of our SEN tutors are qualified teachers or hold specialist qualifications in special educational needs. You can view each tutor's full qualifications and experience on their profile.
Does SEN tutoring only cover academic subjects like Maths and English?
Not at all. While academic support is a core part of what we do, many of our SEN tutors also focus on building crucial life skills. This can include executive functioning skills like planning and organisation, social communication, emotional regulation, and general confidence-building to help them thrive in all areas of life.
How much does online SEN tutoring cost for a student in North East London?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so prices vary. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete flexibility to find excellent support that fits your family's budget.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very straightforward. 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 complex software to download. It's designed to be simple and intuitive for both students and tutors.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Communication is key. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress, highlighting areas of improvement and discussing the plan for future sessions. You can message your tutor at any time to ask questions or share information from school, creating a strong partnership focused on your child's success.
How flexible is scheduling? Our life in London is very busy.
We know how hectic family life can be! That's a major benefit of online tutoring. Our tutors offer a wide range of availability, including evenings and weekends, so you can schedule sessions at times that fit around school, clubs, and family commitments, without any travel time.
Does SEN tutoring only cover academic subjects like Maths and English?
Yes, we offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! From core academics like Maths, English, and Science for GCSEs and A-Levels, to languages, music tuition, and even coding. Whatever your child's interests or needs, you can find an expert online tutor to support them.
