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 has an EHCP at a Shrewsbury school like The Priory. Can an online tutor help implement its goals?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in working with EHCPs. They can create sessions that specifically target the strategies and outcomes outlined in your child's plan, providing the consistent, one-to-one reinforcement that can be challenging to achieve in a busy classroom. It’s a great way to complement the support they receive at school.
We're worried our child won't be ready for Shrewsbury Colleges Group. How can tutoring help?
We understand that concern completely. A tutor can help by focusing on the specific study skills and independence your child will need for post-16 education. They'll work on everything from organisation and time management to building the confidence to tackle more complex assignments, ensuring the transition feels exciting, not overwhelming.
Are your tutors familiar with the Shropshire educational landscape?
Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many have experience supporting students applying to various colleges and navigating different local authority systems. The key is finding a tutor with the right SEN specialism for your child. They will then work with you to understand your child's specific school context in Shrewsbury and tailor their support accordingly.
Is online tutoring really effective for a child with special educational needs?
For many children, it's a fantastic fit. Learning from a familiar, comfortable home environment can reduce anxiety. Online tools like interactive whiteboards can be highly engaging, and the one-to-one focus means the tutor can adapt their approach in real-time. It removes the distraction of a classroom and provides a completely personalised learning space.
What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a different tutor.
Is it just for academic subjects, or can you help with life skills?
It's for both. Many of our SEN tutors specialise in developing crucial life skills, such as social communication, emotional regulation, organisation, and executive functioning. We believe that building these foundational skills is just as important as academic progress. Just let us know what you're looking for.
How do you vet your SEN tutors?
We take this very seriously. All our tutors are background-checked, and we interview every applicant. We only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, ensuring you're choosing from a pool of highly qualified and experienced educators who are passionate about what they do.
My child has dyslexia. Can you find a tutor who specialises in that?
Yes. Many of our tutors have specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting learners with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, and a wide range of other needs. You can use the filters on our site to find a specialist who is the perfect match for your child.
How much do online SEN tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and specialisms. 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 from the start.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Most sessions are an hour long, but you can arrange different lengths with your tutor. As for frequency, it's completely up to you. Some families prefer a regular weekly slot to build momentum, whilst others book sessions as and when they need extra support. It's totally flexible to your needs.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our platform has a built-in video classroom with an interactive whiteboard, making lessons engaging and easy to join.
How do you vet your SEN tutors?
This is at the heart of what we do. For so many of our 200,000+ students, the biggest change is in their self-belief. When a child has that 'aha!' moment with a supportive tutor, it does more than help them answer a question – it shows them they can learn and succeed. That new-found confidence often has a positive impact on all their school subjects.
