SEN tutoring
Tutoring with the right adjustments
Patient, structured tutoring for students with dyslexia, ADHD and processing differences.
A meaningful proportion of my long-standing students have specific learning needs, including dyslexia, ADHD and slower processing. The work I do with them is the same Economics and Business work I do with any A-level or GCSE student, with the structure and pace adjusted to suit.
What changes
- Pacing. Smaller, more frequent units of work. Regular consolidation rather than long, content-heavy sessions.
- Structure. Clear visual scaffolds for essay structure, evaluation paragraphs and diagrammatic answers.
- Memory aids. Acronyms, mnemonics and revision routines built around how each student best retains.
- Exam access. Working with whatever access arrangements your child has been granted (extra time, scribes, separate room) and practising under them.
What stays the same
Expectations. Students with SEN often work harder than their peers to reach the same grade. The job of the tutoring is to make that work as efficient as possible. The grade target is whatever the family agrees, not a default downgrade.
Discuss your child's needs
A short conversation is enough to see whether I am the right fit. No assessment fee, no commitment.
