Finding a tutor for your child with learning difficulties
More and more people are realising that children with SEND needs require specialist help and intervention.
In the first instance, you need the right tutor, which may take a bit of time to research.
While there are many tutors and tutoring agencies out there, traditionally there have not been many that focus on special education needs and disability (SEND).
However, that is changing. More and more people are realising that children with SEND needs require specialist help and intervention. Coverage in the press, parents finding their voice and SEND children themselves highlighting how they are hampered from fully taking part and contributing in class by an inaccessible curriculum or an environment not suited to their needs are all playing a part in that change.
Looking for personalised support to help your child succeed? Our SEND tutors are fully committed to promoting the education and well-being of children and young people at all times, regardless of their starting point, and truly believe that education has the power to change young people’s lives.

BlockJam Counselling: A Q&A With MindJam
What struck us most, after speaking with Adam and Emily, is how deeply this approach honours the way neurodivergent young people naturally communicate. So many of the children we work with have rich inner worlds, vivid imaginations and a huge amount to say, but only when they feel safe enough...
