Highly Experienced SEN Tutors
The SEN tutors and specialists have extensive experience and training working with children with a range of needs including: autism, PDA, dyslexia, anxiety, dyspraxia, ADHD/ ADD, sensory needs, speech and language difficulties, social and mental health needs and other SEN.
Trust and Rapport
The SEN tutors endeavour to develop a trusting and positive relationship with your child to understand how they learn best. The aim is for every single child and young person to feel confident whilst progressing fully towards fulfilling their potential. We believe that this relationship is why your child will love working with their SENsational Tutor.
Fun and Engaging Sessions
The SEN tutors aim to ensure that sessions are fun, engaging and incorporate your child’s hobbies and interests to foster a love of learning for your child or young adult. They aim to use tools and strategies to boost your child’s independence, engagement and self-esteem.
Strategies and Interventions
The tutors adapt their teaching styles, work at a pace which works best for your child, and can use a number of specialist tools, strategies and interventions to suit your child’s individual needs.
Boosting Confidence and Self-Esteem
The SEN tutors endeavour to provide sessions that are especially planned, prepared and delivered in accordance with your child’s individual needs, hobbies and interests. The aim is for your child to enjoy learning, have a big smile on their face and to develop a ‘can do’ attitude.
Helping You at Home
The SEN tutors may be able to provide you with a further understanding about your child’s individual needs. They can communicate directly with schools or colleges so that you feel that.
Your Child Reaches their Potential
The SEN tutors endeavour to create and deliver bespoke 1:1 specialist SEN home-based, school-based, online or home-schooling sessions to children and young adults ages 4-25, of all abilities and needs. Sessions are specifically tailored towards your child or young adult’s individual SEN requirements to help them reach their full potential.
