Every child learns differently, and for children with special educational needs, the right tutoring approach makes all the difference. Our SEN tutors in Truro 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 Truro 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.
Dyscalculia and Maths Difficulties
Children with dyscalculia in Truro 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 Truro 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.
ADHD and Focus
Students with ADHD in Truro 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 Truro 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.
