Parents in Portadown 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.
SEN Support in Northern Ireland
The SEN framework in Northern Ireland uses a staged approach, and children with significant needs may have a Statement of Special Educational Needs. Our tutors in Portadown understand this system and can work alongside school-based support. We provide progress notes that can be shared with SENCOs and educational psychologists as needed.
Dyscalculia and Maths Difficulties
Children with dyscalculia in Portadown 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.
ADHD and Focus
Students with ADHD in Portadown 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.
If your child in Portadown 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.
