Specialist Online Tutors for Special Educational Needs
It's hard when you know your child needs more support, but you’re not sure where to find it. School does its best, but can’t always give the one-to-one focus they need to feel confident. Even when you can't help with the work, you can help them find the right person.
Our Tutor Finder does the work for you. After a few simple questions about your child and how they learn, we’ll recommend a specialist SEN tutor we’d genuinely back for them. No scrolling through lists, just a proper recommendation.

What happens when learning feels built for them
With the right person, things can click into place. It’s not about changing your child, it’s about changing the approach. A specialist tutor knows how to adapt their teaching, building on your child’s strengths and finding ways to make sense of the things they find tricky.
Soon, that feeling of ‘I can’t do this’ starts to fade. It’s replaced by a quieter confidence that can make a real difference, not just in their school work, but in how they see themselves as a learner.

Find a tutor 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!
