My daughter Jess has been tutored by Glynda for nearly a year now. Before she had very little input. She has complex medical needs, developmental delay but is a very bright, sassy little girl. Glynda has gone above and beyond in taking the time to learn about Jess’s needs. Her likes and dislikes. How to engage with her. The difference in a year is truly amazing. She’s engaging with activities she would never have engaged in before. Is learning to communicate and learn on an ACC device. I’m truly grateful to have found Glynda and to see the positive impact she is having in my daughter’s life. Thank you Glynda! You are truly one of a kind :)

Sensational was able to fulfil a very specific brief of someone who could come to our home at the weekend and had the right skills to help our daughter transition to secondary school educational challeges. No other agency managed this.

I have been using SENsational Tutors for over a year now and Elaine is a special tutor who made learning fun whilst helping my daughter reach her goals and target for each lesson. She is friendly, warm and had a different take on each lesson which had my daughter enjoying her one one one lessons. I would recommend Elaine as she is kind and patient

We are so grateful to our tutor, Becky. Undoubtedly, our daughter has made a huge amount of progress in the few months that she has been working with Becky, but beyond the educational gains, Becky has shown our daughter patience, understanding, and dedication. As a result, our daughter feels like it's the first time anyone has put so much effort into her learning, and the results speak for themselves. Our daughter has become so much more confident with things she previously found too difficult to tackle. Becky has provided an enriching curriculum in which our daughter has flourished and found ways to incorporate some of her passions such as art. Becky is an absolute natural at what she does. We cannot thank her enough.

Our SENsational tutor Hannah Brimson has been incredible in helping our son develop confidence and strategies to manage his difficulties with processing speed. She has adapted to his needs and managed to find ways to engage him.

5/5 Stars – Ella is an Exceptional Tutor!

We cannot thank Ella enough for her incredible progress with our son. When we first hired Ella, our son struggled to speak clearly and had little to no interest in learning. It was a challenging time for us as parents, and we were worried about his development. However, within just three months, Ella has worked wonders!

Our son is now blending words, speaking more confidently, and has caught up to the standard expected for Term 4. It’s nothing short of amazing! Ella’s approach to teaching is interactive, engaging, and fun, which has completely transformed our son’s attitude towards learning. He gets genuinely excited for his sessions with Ella, and it’s such a joy to see him so enthusiastic about reading and speaking.

Ella is patient, kind, and has a unique ability to connect with children. She tailors her lessons to suit our son’s needs, making learning feel like an adventure rather than a chore. Her dedication and passion for teaching shine through in every session, and we are so grateful to have found her.

If you’re looking for a tutor who truly makes a difference, Ella is the one. She has not only helped our son academically but has also boosted his confidence and love for learning. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Thank you, Ella, for everything you’ve done for our family. You’re a true gem!

SENsational tutors were the only agency we could find which offered the specialist service we need. We’d had several failures with other tutors and professionals before. Sammie has been working with our 11 year old daughter for around a year now. She’s just fantastic. Our daughter has complex needs, including autism and PDA and can be challenging. Sammie has completely won her over and our daughter beams when she sees her at the door. She doesn’t even realise she’s doing schoolwork as Sammie is so skilled at what she does. She just thinks she’s playing! Sammie brings new resources each week, a lot of them tailored to what our daughter likes. We’ve had a lot of failures with schooling in the past and so finding Sammie has been amazing. We’ve noticed speech and learning ability improving vastly with just a few hours a week. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sammie and SENsational tutors.

We contacted SENsational Tutors to support our son Charlie (Year 5) with Maths and English and improve his motivation and build his confidence with schoolwork in general. Charlie has been having weekly online Maths and English sessions with Alexia for over 3 months now, and we are delighted with his progress! We weren’t sure how successful tutoring would be, as Charlie was quite reluctant and nervous. Charlie has some additional needs (ASD, PDA); he takes time to bond with and trust people and often struggles with the demands of schoolwork due to lack of motivation and fear of failure. We needn’t have worried - Alexia is incredibly patient and understanding with Charlie and isn’t at all fazed when he is having a bad day or becomes frustrated. Alexia always strives to make her lessons engaging, fun and low pressure and Charlie has really responded to this. Alexia gives us regular feedback on Charlie’s progress, her lesson plans and longer term goals for him and frequently checks in to make sure we’re happy with how things are going and if there’s anything we’d like her to cover. The thought and preparation that goes into Alexia’s lessons is obvious - she’s also very skilled at identifying any knowledge gaps and areas where Charlie needs a bit more support and practice. We have already begun to see improvements in Charlie’s progress and engagement, which is great! We feel fortunate to have found Alexia and will continue Charlie’s sessions with her for as long as he needs support.

I have no hesitation in recommending Richard as a tutor. Over six months, his fun and varied weekly sessions have transformed my 10 year old son who had been struggling for a long time with speech, confidence and learning. Whilst he still has a lot of academic challenges, his self-esteem and independence have soared and he is rapidly developing his learning and interests now across many different subjects and topics, including history, maths, cookery and film. My son always looked forward to seeing Richard each week, and would store up things to tell him and topics that he wanted to focus on. Richard has a very warm, accessible and child-led approach which I'm sure would be life-changing for other children with a similar learning or language profile to my son.

We have had an incredible experience with Alexia from Sensational Tutors. From the very first session, it was clear that she genuinely cares about our daughter’s progress and well-being. She has a fantastic ability to tailor her approach to suit our daughter’s individual needs, making learning both accessible and engaging.

Alexia is patient, warm, and highly knowledgeable. She creates a positive, supportive environment that has helped build our daughter's confidence and willingness to engage with learning. Her structured yet flexible approach ensures that every session is productive while also being fun and encouraging.

Since working with Alexia, we have seen a significant boost in our daughter’s self-belief and academic progress. She also provides us with valuable insights and strategies to support learning at home.

We highly recommend Alexia and Sensational Tutors to any family looking for dedicated, professional, and truly caring support.

We are so grateful to have found Shauleen; within weeks of starting, our son’s school contacted us unprompted to say they’ve already seen improvements.
Her unique teaching style keeps him interested and engaged, and the weekly update reports are great for us to see progress and how we can support in between lessons.

From the very beginning, our experience with Sensational Tutors has been outstanding. Communication with the agency was seamless, and their recommendation of Alexandra as our son’s tutor was a perfect match.

Alexandra’s understanding, patience, and thoughtful approach had an immediate impact, and over the past six months, her dedication has truly gone above and beyond our expectations. Even during challenging periods, Alexandra remained professional and unwavering in her support. Her experience and expertise helped navigate difficulties with confidence, ensuring our son always felt encouraged and supported.

She took the time to understand his unique needs, tailoring her sessions to engage and help him progress in a way that truly made a difference. Her professionalism, warmth, and expertise have not only helped him academically but have also boosted his confidence and enthusiasm for learning.

We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by both Sensational Tutors and Alexandra. Their commitment to ensuring the best support for children with SEN is evident in every interaction, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to any family seeking high-quality, specialist tutoring.

Sensational Tutors have helped me find two people who are exceptional SEN tutors to supports my daughter who has difficulties with working memory, slow processing speed and is dyslexic.

Siri has been working with my daughter at home for over two years, and is an excellent SEN tutor. She is knowledgeable, witty, kind, and incredibly engaging with a remarkable ability to keep my daughter on task. Whether face-to-face or online, in English or Maths, Siri creates an environment in which my daughter is incredibly eager to learn.

Lucy supports my daughter with weekly sessions at school. She is deeply dedicated to finding the right tools and strategies to meet my daughter’s unique learning needs, and she tailors and adapts her approach accordingly. Lucy is very knowledgeable and her insight into how to get the most out of my daughter is outstanding. Her sessions, although hard work, always feel playful, and my daughter learns without noticing.

The support that SENsational Tutors have provided has led to visible academic progress and overall confidence, with my daughter having received offers from multiple excellent schools following her recent 11+ exams.

I would not hesitate to recommend SENsational Tutors, who have helped me find two exceptional individuals who have transformed my daughter’s learning journey.

After many years of struggling with grammar and English in general; I was finally diagnosed with dyslexia at the grand old age of 52. I decided to look for help to try and improve my complete lack of grammar skills - partly to do with being dyslexic and partly having experienced a 1970’s parochial education which did not in-fact teach grammar.
I found Sarah at SENsational Tutors and I’m so very glad I did. She has made a fundamental difference to me, not only with my lacking knowledge of grammar but also with my self confidence. I now face my mental challenges with confidence which is a serious turnaround for me. I cannot recommend her more highly - she’s an absolutely brilliant teacher who completely understood the difficulties I’ve always faced and she worked to find the best learning solutions for me. She’s also incredibly understanding and has highly professional training to support overcoming lack of confidence in one’s ability. Sarah has a fantastic sense of humour too! Just what was needed in some of our early morning lessons!
I would 100% recommend Sarah and the team at SENsational Tutors. I can’t thank you enough for genuinely improving my life. Thank you!

My son has been having on line tutoring with Jess of Sensational Tutors for nearly three months now. Jess has had a very positive impact on him and has helped him learn new strategies for learning and completing his college work. She is very patient, encouraging and supportive and Jacob has really responded to this and listens to what she says. Her feedback to me before and after the sessions is fantastic, so I always know what the plan is, what was covered and what he has to do for the next session. I really struggled to find the right tutor to help him, as he has some specific learning needs, but Jess has been a life saver.

We cannot recommend Phil from SENsational Tutors highly enough. Our 10-year-old daughter is autistic with a pathological demand avoidant (PDA) profile, ADHD, sensory modulation disorder, a visual impairment, and OCD. She is bright, energetic, full of character, and eager to learn, but after experiencing severe burnout and trauma from school at the age of 7, she has been unable to attend school for over two and a half years. Her experience left her unable to trust adults, especially those connected to education, and she found it nearly impossible to engage with anyone outside of us, her parents.

After a disappointing experience with a previous tutor who didn't fully understand her complex and nuanced communication needs, we were incredibly apprehensive about trying again. Then we met Phil, and everything changed. From the moment we were introduced, we knew Phil was the perfect match for our daughter.

Phil is exceptional. He is gentle, flexible, and intuitive in his approach. He understands our daughter's unique challenges and adapts to her needs seamlessly. His ability to pick up on her subtle cues and adjust his methods accordingly is remarkable. He uses low-demand approaches, disguising learning within her interests and meeting her exactly where she is whether that's engaging in physical activities or weaving academic objectives into real-life, meaningful experiences.

Our daughter, who has been desperate to access learning but whose nervous system struggles to cope, has finally found someone who bridges that gap for her. Phil's methods have enabled her to experience the joy of learning again without the pressure that once overwhelmed her. She has bonded with Phil in a way we never thought possible; he has truly become like a member of our family.

From the start, SENsational Tutors proved to be easy to work with, offering clear communication and explanations of procedures. The tutor they matched us with, Jane, was the perfect fit for our complex SEN boy as part of his EHCP provision. Jane has gone above and beyond, drawing on her extensive expertise to reengage our child in education after an 18-month gap. Her thoughtful planning and relationship-first approach have been instrumental in building trust and fostering progress. Additionally, Jane provided invaluable input to the child's annual review through her thorough assessments and deep understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend SENsational Tutors to anyone seeking tailored, nurturing, and effective tutoring services.

My son Jonathan has ADHD and is currently in an international school in Spain. We are returning to the UK later this year and he needed to sit 13+ common entrance exams. I approached Sensational Tutors to find a tutor for maths and English. We had a 6 week window before the exams started. We were recommended two excellent tutors, Krista and Alexia. Both immediately built a rapport with Jonathan and made the lessons interesting and managed to keep Jonathan engaged. Communication with myself was first class. I highly recommend both of them. Just today Jonathan received his first offer from a school!

SENsational Tutors have been wonderfully supportive since we reached out and put us in touch with Ewa. Ewa is amazing, she has been calm and clear from the outset, which as parents we have really appreciated - there is lots of information to take on board! Ewa has developed a lovely relationship with our daughter, who despite grumbling about extra work, actually looks forward to their sessions. There is lots of fun and laughter at the sessions which is great to hear, especially when we know this accompanied lots of learning! Ewa is dedicated and we were astounded by the time and thought she put into communication with us.

Helen from SENsational Tutors is amazing. She has a remarkable ability to connect with young people who have become disillusioned by the education system and feel let down by it. Helen is not only professional but also deeply passionate about helping children rediscover their potential, guiding them to thrive once again.

Since Helen began tutoring our daughter, the transformation has been nothing short of amazing. Our daughter had struggled in three mainstream schools and was completely burned out, resistant to any form of educational support. Helen took the time to understand Florence's needs and interests, gradually building trust and rapport. She quickly discovered that Florence is a huge "Swiftie," and used this interest as the foundation for a creative, multidisciplinary project. Together, they built a 3D stage, blending subjects in a way that truly captured Florence's imagination.

Helen employs a variety of strategies tailored to Florence's specific learning needs, removing barriers to her learning wherever possible. Thanks to this thoughtful approach, Florence has re-engaged with education, and her passion for learning has been reignited. She’s now writing extensively—something she once resisted due to her dysgraphia—and is pursuing subjects she loves with renewed enthusiasm. In fact, she’s even developed an interest in marine biology!

Most importantly, I can see that Florence is not only excelling academically but is also happy, confident, and proud of who she is.
