Our private specialist SEN tutors can provide your son or daughter with 1:1, high-quality learning (English, Maths or Science) tuition, and/or communication, social-skills, study-skills, executive function skills and behaviour support. All sessions are specifically tailored towards your child or young adult’s individual SEN requirements.

We teach a wide range of ages (from 4-25 years) either at home (UK or abroad), in school or online.

We take our time to get to know your son or daughter so we can understand how they learn best. We adapt our teaching styles, work at a pace which works best for them, and can use a number of specialist tools, strategies and interventions to suit their personal needs. Our aim is for every single student to feel confident whilst progressing fully in their development.

Possible strategies and interventions which we can incorporate into the sessions include, but are not limited to:

• Multi-sensory techniques;
• Visual and pictorial approaches;
• Structured reading, phonics and spelling schemes;
• Pre-teaching, over-teaching and repetition;
• Assistive technology e.g. text-to-speech, C-Pen or Topscan Text Scanner and Text Reader;
• Paired and choral reading;
• Role-play, drama and acting out scenarios;
• Music and rhythm techniques;
• Zones of regulation to support emotional regulation;
• Literacy and/or Maths educational games and toys;
