Finding a tutor who genuinely understands special educational needs is one of the most impactful things parents in Street 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 Street 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 Street 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.
Dyslexia Support
Dyslexia affects reading, spelling, and sometimes writing speed. Our tutors in Street 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.
Building Confidence
Children with SEN in Street 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.
If your child in Street 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.
