Finding a tutor who genuinely understands special educational needs is one of the most impactful things parents in Portsmouth 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 EHCPs and School Support
If your child in Portsmouth has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), our tutors can work towards the outcomes specified in it. For children on SEN Support without a plan, we can still target the specific areas flagged by the school's SENCO. Our tutors provide regular progress updates that you can share with school or other professionals involved in your child's education.
Building Confidence
Children with SEN in Portsmouth 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.
ADHD and Focus
Students with ADHD in Portsmouth 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.
Dyslexia Support
Dyslexia affects reading, spelling, and sometimes writing speed. Our tutors in Portsmouth 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.
