How private tuition can benefit secondary students with SEND

Students with SEND often require tailored support, differentiated materials and consistent reinforcement. With mainstream schools under pressure and resources stretched, one on one help provides the attention and teaching techniques that SEND learners require.

Tutors can bridge gaps between school and home learning, build executive‑function and organisational skills, and maintain stability when school provision fluctuates. Research indicates that many students with SEND are not being supported to their full potential – as one headteacher said: “The lack of specialist provision and outreach expertise mean many pupils are not in best provision to thrive.”

A dedicated tutor can assess learning profiles, identify strengths and challenges (e.g., dyslexia, ASD, ADHD), and deliver bespoke sessions aligned with the student’s EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) or IEP (Individual Education Plan). We often work with local councils, therapists and previous schools to facilitate a students personalised learning plan.

Sessions can build confidence, reduce anxiety, and promote independent learning habits that benefit the student beyond just subject content. The flexibility that private tuition and homeschooling provide means that learning can continue and work around shifts in focus, energy levels, mental health. No student is the same, so no educational programme is the same, but the plan is to make sure no student, whatever their needs, is left behind and not allowed to enjoy learning.
