Special education tutoring and learning support

Before you book

Questions families ask us before they start

Do you only work with children who have a diagnosis?

No. Some families come to us with a formal diagnosis, some with a school report, and some because a teacher has raised a concern that has not yet been investigated. We assess what we find and plan from there.

Where do sessions take place?

Sessions are usually held online, which means we can work with families across the country and fit around school and work. Where you are local, we can discuss in-person sessions as an alternative.

How long does each session last?

Most sessions run for fifty minutes, which leaves time to settle, work and finish without rushing. For younger children, or where concentration is a difficulty, we often begin with thirty-minute sessions and build up.

How many sessions will my child need?

That depends on the gaps and the targets. Some families come for a focused block of ten to twelve weeks, others stay for a year or more. We review progress each half term so you can decide whether to continue.

Will you speak to my child's school?

With your written consent, yes. We can share assessment findings and targets with the class teacher or the special educational needs coordinator, and we often find that a short joined-up conversation improves what happens in class.

Can we use funding from a personal budget or EHCP?

Some local authorities allow personal budgets to be used for tutoring, and some plans name provision of this kind. We are happy to provide quotes and reports that you can take to your local authority or school.
