Beyond Labels: Building Genuine Confidence and Understanding
Effective support is about more than just keeping up with schoolwork; it's about giving your child the tools and self-belief to navigate their own learning path. Imagine them finally finding a revision technique that works for their neurotype, or feeling confident enough to contribute in class because they’ve practised with their tutor. This is about fostering independence and resilience, showing them that their way of thinking is a strength they can build on for life.

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.

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 stuck waiting for an EHCP in our South East London borough. Can a tutor help in the meantime?
Absolutely. Waiting for official support can be incredibly frustrating. An online tutor can provide immediate, targeted help to bridge that gap. They can work with your child on specific challenges, build their confidence, and ensure they don't fall behind whilst you navigate the administrative process.
My child feels overlooked in their large secondary academy in Greenwich. How can one-to-one tutoring help?
This is a very common concern. In a one-to-one online setting, your child is the sole focus. The tutor can adapt their teaching style entirely to your child's pace and needs, creating a space where they feel heard, seen, and comfortable asking questions they might not ask in a busy classroom.
How does online tutoring bring specialist SEN support to us here in South East London?
Online learning removes geographical barriers. Instead of being limited to tutors who live nearby, your child can connect with a specialist from anywhere in the UK. This gives you access to a much wider pool of expertise, including tutors with experience in very specific areas of Special Educational Needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first SEN tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, especially for building trust. We completely understand this. 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 new tutor.
Is online tutoring effective for a child with specific sensory or attention needs?
For many children, it's actually more effective. Learning from the comfort and familiarity of home can reduce sensory overload and anxiety. Lessons can be structured with planned breaks, and tutors can use digital tools like interactive whiteboards to keep your child engaged in a way that suits them.
How do you ensure your SEN tutors are qualified?
We take this very seriously. All our tutors are background-checked, and we verify their qualifications and experience. Many have specific credentials in SEN, such as PGCEs with a specialism or years of classroom experience. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
Can a tutor help with life skills and social communication, not just academic subjects?
Yes, many of our tutors offer support beyond the curriculum. You can find tutors who specialise in mentoring, building social communication skills, developing executive functioning, and improving organisation. Just use the search filters to find a tutor with the specific skills your child needs.
How much does online SEN tutoring cost?
Tutor prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits within your budget, with no hidden costs or contracts.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our website, so there's no complex software to download. It's designed to be straightforward and easy to use.
Can the tutor collaborate with my child's school or therapist?
Yes, our tutors are happy to work alongside the support your child is receiving at school. With your permission, they can align their lessons with school learning plans, IEPs, or therapy goals to provide consistent, joined-up support for your child.
How do I find a tutor with experience in a specific need, like dyslexia or autism?
Our platform makes this easy. When you search for SEN tutors, you can read their detailed bios which outline their specific areas of expertise. Many tutors will explicitly mention their experience with dyslexia, autism, ADHD, dyscalculia, and other specific learning differences.
Can a tutor help with life skills and social communication, not just academic subjects?
Very flexible. You can arrange sessions for times that suit your family, including evenings and weekends. This is a huge benefit of online tutoring, as it fits around school, extracurricular activities, and family commitments without the added time of travelling.
