Every child learns differently, and for children with special educational needs, the right tutoring approach makes all the difference. Our SEN tutors in Selby have experience working with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, and other learning differences. They adapt their teaching style, pace, and materials to match how your child actually learns — not how a curriculum assumes they should.
Working With EHCPs and School Support
If your child in Selby 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.
Autism and Learning
Autistic students in Selby 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.
Building Confidence
Children with SEN in Selby 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.
Dyslexia Support
Dyslexia affects reading, spelling, and sometimes writing speed. Our tutors in Selby 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 Selby 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.
