Parents in Peterhead often come to us after feeling that school support isn't enough. Perhaps your child has an EHCP but still needs extra help outside school, or they've been identified as needing support but the school's resources are stretched. Our SEN tutors bridge that gap with consistent, specialist one-to-one sessions.
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 Peterhead 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 Peterhead 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.
ADHD and Focus
Students with ADHD in Peterhead 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.
Dyscalculia and Maths Difficulties
Children with dyscalculia in Peterhead 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.
Our SEN tutors in Peterhead 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.
