Finding a tutor who genuinely understands special educational needs is one of the most impactful things parents in Inverness 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 Inverness 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 Inverness 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.
Autism and Learning
Autistic students in Inverness 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.
Our SEN tutors in Inverness are safeguarding-trained, 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.
