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 Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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.
Autism and Learning
Autistic students in Edinburgh may need clear, predictable session structures with explicit instructions and visual supports. Our tutors understand the importance of routine and advance notice of changes. They also recognise that many autistic learners have significant strengths — deep focus, strong factual recall, pattern recognition — that can be channelled effectively with the right support.
Dyscalculia and Maths Difficulties
Children with dyscalculia in Edinburgh often struggle with number sense, place value, and the mental manipulation of numbers. Our tutors use concrete materials — number lines, Cuisenaire rods, base-ten blocks — to build understanding from the ground up. The goal is genuine comprehension, not memorised procedures that fall apart under pressure.
If your child in Edinburgh has a learning difference and you're looking for a tutor who truly understands, we can help. Contact us with a bit of background about your child — their diagnosis, what's working, what isn't — and we'll suggest the right next step.
