How do you match my child with the right SEN tutor?

Taylor Tuition conducts a thorough consultation to understand your child's learning profile, personality and needs, reviewing any educational psychology reports and current provision. Families are then matched with tutors whose expertise, teaching style and personality align with what the child requires to flourish.

Can my child's tutoring be based on their EHCP or assessment reports?

Yes. Each tutor develops a personalised learning programme based on your child's EHCP, assessment reports and educational objectives, focusing on fundamental skills alongside curriculum requirements. Tutors begin with diagnostic assessments to identify specific areas of difficulty and strength before building individualised learning plans.

What teaching approaches are used for dyslexia and dyscalculia?

Taylor Tuition uses evidence-based, multi-sensory techniques suited to each learning difference. For dyslexia this might include Orton-Gillingham or structured synthetic phonics approaches, while dyscalculia support draws on concrete manipulatives and visual representations, with movement breaks and varied activities for attention difficulties.

Do you offer both online and in-person SEN tutoring?

Yes, sessions are available in person in central London or online via a secure video platform, and many families combine both for consistency alongside flexibility. Online delivery extends this support to families across the UK and internationally, whilst in-person sessions remain based in central London.

Will the tutor communicate with me and my child's school?

Tutors maintain regular communication with parents, sharing detailed feedback on progress and strategies to reinforce at home. Where appropriate, they also liaise with SENCOs and other educational professionals to ensure consistency across your child's learning environments.

Expert SEN Tutors | Specialist Support

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.

Every family's schedule and their child's specific requirements shape how sessions are arranged, with tutoring taking place online across the UK and internationally, or in person for those able to attend in central London.

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 in Central London

Held in person in central London, sessions offer a comfortable, distraction-reduced environment where your child can feel secure. In this setting, tutors can draw on physical resources, observe learning behaviours closely and adjust the surroundings to support 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.
