Specialist SEN Tutoring for Individual Learning Journeys
Every child deserves an education tailored to their unique strengths and learning style. At Taylor Tuition, our specialist SEN tutors work with students who have diverse learning needs, from dyslexia and dyscalculia to ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, and processing difficulties. We understand that traditional classroom environments don't always provide the individualised attention required for children with special educational needs to thrive.
Our tutors combine academic expertise with specialist training in SEND provision, creating supportive learning environments where students can build confidence alongside competence. Whether your child requires exam preparation, curriculum support, or foundational skills development, we match families with tutors who understand both the subject matter and the nuances of how your child learns best.
We serve families across London and the Home Counties, offering both in-person and online sessions designed around your family's schedule and your child's specific requirements.

Why Choose Our SEN Tutors
Specialist Qualifications and Experience
Our SEN tutors hold relevant teaching qualifications alongside specialist training in areas such as SpLD (Specific Learning Difficulties), ASD support, and multi-sensory teaching methodologies. Many have backgrounds in specialist schools, educational psychology, or speech and language therapy. We recruit tutors who demonstrate genuine understanding of neurodiversity and the patience required to work with children who learn differently.
Proven Expertise in Individual Learning Plans
Each tutor develops a personalised learning programme based on your child's EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan), assessment reports, and educational objectives. We focus on building fundamental skills whilst addressing specific curriculum requirements, ensuring students make meaningful progress in both confidence and capability.
Truly Personalised Approach
We recognise that SEN encompasses a broad spectrum of needs. Your child is not a diagnosis but an individual with distinct interests, strengths, and challenges. Our tutors adapt their teaching style, materials, and expectations to suit each student, creating a supportive environment where learning feels achievable rather than overwhelming.
Collaborative Partnership with Families
Effective SEN support requires close collaboration between tutor, family, and school. Our tutors maintain regular communication with parents, providing detailed feedback on progress and strategies that can be reinforced at home. Where appropriate, we liaise with SENCOs and other educational professionals to ensure consistency across your child's learning environments.
Our Approach to SEN Tutoring
Comprehensive Matching Process
Finding the right tutor is critical for students with SEN. We conduct thorough consultations to understand your child's learning profile, personality, and specific needs. This includes reviewing any educational psychology reports, current provision, and your child's interests. We then match you with tutors whose expertise, teaching style, and personality align with what your child requires to flourish.
Assessment-Led Teaching Methodology
Our tutors begin with diagnostic assessments to identify specific areas of difficulty and strength. This informs the creation of individualised learning plans with achievable short-term goals and longer-term objectives. Lessons are structured yet flexible, allowing tutors to adjust pace and approach based on your child's engagement and understanding during each session.
Multi-Sensory and Evidence-Based Techniques
We employ teaching methods proven effective for students with learning differences. For dyslexia, this might include Orton-Gillingham or structured synthetic phonics approaches. For dyscalculia, concrete manipulatives and visual representations. For attention difficulties, movement breaks and varied activities. Each programme draws on evidence-based interventions whilst remaining responsive to what works for your individual child.
Progress Monitoring and Adjustment
We track progress through ongoing formative assessment rather than relying solely on summative tests. Tutors maintain detailed records of skills mastered, areas requiring further support, and your child's developing confidence. Regular progress reviews allow us to celebrate achievements and adjust teaching strategies as your child develops.
Our Track Record and Teaching Philosophy
Building Confidence Through Competence
Students with SEN often experience repeated academic setbacks that erode self-belief. Our tutors prioritise building confidence alongside capability, celebrating effort and progress rather than perfection. By breaking learning into manageable steps and ensuring consistent success at each level, we help students develop the resilience and positive mindset essential for long-term academic achievement.
Developing Independent Learners
Our ultimate goal is not dependence on tutoring but the development of independent learning skills. We teach metacognitive strategies that help students understand how they learn best, organise their work effectively, and advocate for their own needs. Students learn to use assistive technology, revision techniques, and self-regulation strategies that serve them throughout their education.
Holistic Student Development
We measure success beyond academic metrics. Improved concentration, willingness to attempt challenging tasks, better emotional regulation during learning, and growing independence all represent meaningful progress. Our tutors work with the whole child, acknowledging that social-emotional development and academic progress are interconnected for students with SEN.
Evidence-Informed Practise
We stay current with research in special educational needs, attending professional development on the latest interventions and assistive technologies. Our teaching draws on established frameworks whilst remaining individualised to each student. We document what works for your child, creating a record that can inform their future provision.

Delivery Options
In-Person Tutoring
Sessions conducted in your home provide a comfortable, distraction-reduced environment where your child feels secure. In-person delivery allows tutors to use physical resources, observe your child's learning behaviours closely, and adjust environmental factors to optimise concentration.
Online Tutoring
Our online sessions use interactive whiteboards, screen sharing, and digital resources tailored for remote learning. Online delivery can reduce anxiety for some students who find new environments challenging, whilst providing flexibility for families with demanding schedules or those located outside our in-person service area.
Hybrid Approaches
Many families benefit from combining in-person and online sessions, providing consistency whilst accommodating family commitments. We work with you to design a schedule that supports your child's learning whilst fitting your family's lifestyle.
Pricing and Packages
We offer flexible tutoring packages designed around your child's needs and the intensity of support required. Our SEN specialists are experienced professionals whose rates reflect their advanced qualifications and expertise. Sessions typically range from one hour to ninety minutes depending on your child's concentration and the subject matter.
We provide tailored quotes following an initial consultation where we discuss your child's specific requirements, the tutor's experience level you're seeking, and the frequency of sessions you envisage. Package options allow for regular weekly support or more intensive programmes during school holidays.
