Children with SEN often have a mixed profile — strong in some areas, struggling in others. A classroom teacher with 30 students simply can't adapt to each child's specific needs. Our tutors in Dumfries provide the one-to-one attention that allows sessions to be built entirely around your child's strengths, challenges, and goals.
Working With Your Child's Support Plan
In Scotland, children with additional support needs may have a Child's Plan or Co-ordinated Support Plan rather than an EHCP. Our tutors in Dumfries are familiar with the Scottish additional support needs framework and can align sessions with the goals set out in your child's plan. We're also happy to provide progress updates that schools and educational psychologists can use.
Dyslexia Support
Dyslexia affects reading, spelling, and sometimes writing speed. Our tutors in Dumfries use structured, multi-sensory approaches — such as Orton-Gillingham based methods — that break language down into manageable steps. Sessions focus on building phonological awareness, decoding skills, and reading fluency at a pace that allows your child to succeed.
ADHD and Focus
Students with ADHD in Dumfries often benefit from shorter, more varied sessions with built-in movement breaks and frequent task switching. Our tutors know how to structure a session that keeps a child engaged without overwhelming them, using timers, checklists, and immediate feedback to maintain momentum.
Our SEN tutors in Dumfries are DBS-checked, experienced, and patient. We match your child with a tutor whose skills fit their specific needs — not just someone who's willing to work with SEN students, but someone with genuine expertise. Get in touch to tell us about your child and we'll recommend the right tutor.
