We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is working with someone who has the expertise and empathy to help them see their own strengths.

This personalised approach helps them build practical strategies and the confidence that they really can handle the challenges of a bigger school. Because every session happens online, you can fit this vital support around your family's schedule in Nottingham without any extra travel stress.

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
My child is moving to a large Nottingham secondary school. How can a tutor specifically help with that transition?
We completely understand this concern. A specialist SEN tutor can work with your child on the specific skills needed for a bigger school, such as organisation, time management, and self-advocacy. They can help build routines and strategies to reduce anxiety, making the transition feel much less overwhelming and giving them a confident start.
Are the tutors familiar with the challenges of schools like Bluecoat Wollaton Academy?
Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, they are experts in supporting children through common educational transitions. The challenge of moving from a small primary to a large secondary is a universal one. Your tutor will focus on your child's individual needs to build the core skills and resilience they need to thrive in any new, fast-paced environment.
How does online tutoring work for a child with SEN? Is it effective?
Online tutoring can be incredibly effective. Sessions are one-to-one, minimising distractions and allowing the tutor to focus completely on your child. Tutors use interactive tools like whiteboards to make learning engaging. For many children, learning in their familiar home environment in Nottingham helps them feel more relaxed and focused.
Does it matter that the tutors aren't physically based in Nottingham?
Not at all! In fact, it's a huge advantage. Online tutoring means your child in Nottingham gets access to the very best SEN specialists from all over the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby. You get a much wider choice of experts who can perfectly match your child's specific needs.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
The right relationship is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If for any reason the first lesson isn't a good fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Can tutoring help with social confidence and making friends?
Yes, absolutely. Whilst not being social skills coaches, our tutors build a strong, supportive relationship with their students. This consistent positive interaction builds self-esteem, which is the foundation of social confidence. They can also help by role-playing classroom scenarios or practising conversation starters.
How do you vet your SEN tutors?
We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and must go through a rigorous application process. We interview them to assess their expertise and teaching style, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants to ensure your child learns from the very best.
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 or contracts, so you have complete control and transparency.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
Very flexible. Our tutors manage their own schedules, so you can find someone who can fit lessons around your family's life, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during the day for home-schooled children. You arrange times that work for you directly with your tutor.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects beyond the core curriculum?
Yes! We have tutors for a huge range of subjects and skills. Alongside academic support, you can find tutors for music, coding, art, and even life skills. It’s all about finding the right person to support your child’s learning journey, whatever that may be.
How do you vet your SEN tutors?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in different areas of SEN. Read their profiles and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute video chat, which is a great way to 'meet' them and see if they are the right fit for your child before booking a lesson.
