Parents in Rutherglen 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 Rutherglen 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.
ADHD and Focus
Students with ADHD in Rutherglen 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 Rutherglen 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.
Dyslexia Support
Dyslexia affects reading, spelling, and sometimes writing speed. Our tutors in Rutherglen 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.
If your child in Rutherglen 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.
