Home tuition for special needs
Why is home tuition effective for special educational needs and disability (SEND) children?
Why is home tuition effective for special educational needs and disability (SEND) children? Well, all children benefit from the undivided attention of an adult. However, in the case of a SEND child that attention is even more crucial. It helps to ascertain the child’s needs and requirements and gives an experienced teacher many insights into how the child responds and learns – meaning tuition can be adjusted to best serve the child’s needs.
Often in the case of SEND children, teachers need to have many ideas up their sleeves – creative ways to harness the child’s attention – so that if plan A doesn’t work they have a plan B and C as backup to engage the child in their learning.
Our special needs private tutors will have an initial conversation with you to find out about your child’s interests and then plan bespoke lessons that are tailored to your child’s needs. Then, once the tuition starts, they will carry out assessments to make sure that the lessons they create and deliver are pitched at the right level for your child.

SEND Tutoring has helped my daughter gain confidence in reading and expanding her abilities.

SEND Tutoring has also been extremely helpful in signposting and sharing resources. Highly recommend.
