Finding a tutor who genuinely understands special educational needs is one of the most impactful things parents in Dundee can do for their child. Our SEN-experienced tutors don't just slow down — they use different strategies entirely, drawing on multi-sensory approaches, structured repetition, and visual supports to help children access learning in a way that works for them.
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 Dundee 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 Dundee 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 Dundee 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.
Building Confidence
Children with SEN in Dundee often carry a history of feeling "behind" or "different." Our tutors prioritise creating a safe, positive environment where mistakes are treated as learning opportunities. Small, consistent successes build confidence over time, and that confidence often transfers back into the classroom.
Our SEN tutors in Dundee 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.
