My son has been having weekly tuition for English and Maths with John for about 8 months. My son is in year 10 and has ADHD. Unfortunately, his experience of the school system was not a positive one, which led us to take the decision to homeschool.
John has made a real difference to my son’s attitude to learning and has helped restore some of the trust my son was lacking in the education system. Direct quote from my son: ‘I’ve learned more with John in a few months than I have in the last 3 years at school’.

I would highly recommend Helen from SENsational Tutors. She is an expert at connecting and empathising with young people who have become disillusioned and let down by the education system. Likewise, she is professional and passionate about bringing the absolute best out of children, enabling them to shine once more.
Ever since SENsational Tutors sent Helen to tutor our daughter, we've noticed magical results. Our daughter was failed by three mainstream schools and Helen joined us at the point where she was completely burnt out and resistant to any form of educational intervention. Helen took her time to get to know Florence, to see what her interests were and to gently build trust. She discovered that our girl is a 'Swiftie' and embarked on a multidisciplinary project incorporating a range of subjects to engage her, with a 3D stage that they built at the end of the unit. She employs a range of strategies to support Florence's specific learning needs and find ways to ensure she has little to no barriers to learning.
Our school refuser has reengaged with education and her love of learning has returned - she's even keen to work when Helen's not present; she's writing reams and reams when due to her dysgraphia, previously she refused to write at all; she has reconnected with subjects she's passionate about and is now keen to be a marine biologist. She reads for pleasure and most significantly, I feel our daughter is happy and proud to be herself.

I discovered Sensational Tutors when doing desk research to find support our son Hugo (9), who has ADHD and dyslexia and struggles in the classroom. There are a range of tutors available across different parts of London, we chose Ayanna because of the positive reviews from parents of boys of a similar age.
I have to say she's been phenomenal with Hugo, who is hyperactive and struggles with focus and learning, and whose self esteem is affected by comparing academic progress with other kids at school.

First Ayanna won his trust, friendship and respect, then she set about identifying the key areas he needed support. Hard to believe, but she has made learning so fun and so effective, that Hugo actually looks forward to the sessions. Ayanna is passionate about what she does and has made a real difference to Hugo. Couldn't recommend her enough to any parents of boys of a similar age with similar challenges. Thank you Ayanna and Sensational Tutors!

Helen has been a brilliant tutor for us. My son is autistic with a PDA profile and suspected dyspraxia. When I first spoke to Helen I explained what my son needed. The most important things for us were finding someone (very) patient and flexible. Helen said she could do that and I feel 100% she has been both these things.

Helen has a caring approach and she has continued to learn about my son’s needs along the way. Helen has reflected on and adapted how she does things as soon as any challenges arise. Helen has many strategy ideas for the tuition sessions and she will spend time outside of the sessions researching new approaches and activities. Helen provides a completely bespoke education for my son. The sessions are fun and interesting.

Helen is able to pick up on early signs of emotional dysregulation and immediately change the level of demand, offer a break or use a range of other strategies that are individual to my son.

Helen has worked with our OT to incorporate fine motor skill activities in tuition sessions, while bringing many of her own ideas. Helen has been able to engage my son with touch typing, something he has previously not wanted to do.

Helen supported us at my son’s EHCP annual review meeting, attending and being the main contributor to the meeting and writing a thorough and accurate report in advance of this.

After over a year out of school and school trauma Helen has been able to re-engage my son with learning. I am very grateful to her for this. I would highly recommend Helen as a tutor.

Sensational tutors matched us with Amanda over a year ago now as we were looking for a private tutor to support our Autistic/PDA daughter. When Amanda started our daughter had experienced severe school trauma and Autistic burnout and had lost all trust in adults. She barely left her room and could not engage in any other activity besides watching TV. When Amanda first agreed to work with Elsie I was at the point where I really thought no professional would be able to meet her complex needs and all provision would fail. How wrong I was! Amanda was the first professional I'd met that just 'got' PDA. She was willing to work with Elsie at her own pace and always focuses on the mental health of my daughter as the most important foundation to her learning. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and has years of experience working with SEN children but it is also her authenticity, her empathy and her calm presence plus her lived experience as an Autistic adult supporting Autistic children herself which truly makes her one of a kind. I feel so lucky to have her supporting us as she really has changed our lives, supporting not only Elsie but our entire family. We would be lost without her. Thank you Amanda for all you do. xx

Really pleased with my son’s tutor Kelly she has been wonderful over the past 13 months. My son has, and continues to, cover a range of subjects with her. Really pleased with his progress and will also be undertaking his GCSE’s thanks to her help.

We are grateful for Jessica’s hard work, patience, determination and passion. Jessica has great communication skills and was very flexible. She was very eager and joyful, passionate about my son understanding the content and patient when he struggled. She supported, strengthened and encouraged him not only in terms of his education but also through his medical treatment. Jessica was vital in the success of my son's exams, her patience and ability to help him understand was crucial. Jessica was truly a blessing

Anthony was very thorough and detailed when working with my son. He spent a lot of time beforehand preparing and designing lessons that were suited to him.

I recommend Francessca as an excellent tutor. She has been patient and professional in her approach ensuring the sessions were varied and interesting and met my son’s individual requirements. Francessca has explained concepts using clear, understandable and interactive methods. Her communication and organization has been fantastic since the start.

Our 15 year old daughter has dyslexia, and Caroline has been tutoring her for English Language and English Literature for the last 19 months in the run up to her GCSEs. She is a very skilled and experienced teacher as well as being kind and patient, and we have noticed our daughter’s confidence grow significantly as a result.

Caroline taught approaches for engaging with unseen texts, as well as wrangling with an enormous amount of literature content in the GCSE syllabus, condensing thoughts about themes, characters, story structure etc into digestible chunks that could be reached for during exams. She enabled our daughter to significantly improve her writing technique, and her grades improved accordingly. Caroline always communicates promptly and thoroughly after each session so we have a good idea of exactly what they have covered. We have been very grateful for all of her help.

SENsational tutors were very organised in the way they paired us up with Caroline, and contacted us from time to time to see how things were going. Their advice about how to find the help we needed, and how to navigate a state school with limited dyslexia support was all much appreciated.

Skills like this will stay with our daughter for life, and the people you choose to mentor can make an enormous difference, so we are very glad that we chose Caroline.

Dee tutored my son who had been out of school for a while. She was very patient and came up with various ways to help him back into education. Her communication was excellent and she was very supportive and encouraging.

Fantastic! My son James accessed sensational tutors and worked with Alexia.
James worked with Alexia for support with his Gcse English language and literature and exam.
In December he was predicted grade 2-3 after working hard with the support of Alexia he achieved grade 8

Alexia was very supportive, kind and patient she took the time to get to build a professional rappour with him and always communicated with both myself and my son in his progress and lessons.
Giving him the tools and confidence to go into his exams and come out with amazing results.
I would highly recommend Alexia and sensational tutors

Harry started working with Debbie a few months before his GCSE’s, Harry has Developmental Language Disorder and is severely dyslexic. Harry was predicted a 4 for English Language, got a 2 in his mocks, we received his results today and after working with Debbie has made a 7! To say he is on cloud nine is an understatement. Debbie gave him the skills and confidence he needed to get him to this truly amazing achievement. Harry really enjoyed his sessions with Debbie they worked well together and it now shows to what extent! - Thank you - Harry & Mum

Steve has been invaluable as a tutor. My son worked with him over a long time so that he could be supported with emotional regulation alongside extra maths and English. Our son, H, was so comfortable with Steve within a couple of sessions, clearly enjoying them (at a time when he was not enjoying school). The routine of those weekly sessions became an important part of the week for H and the connection and security he felt with Steve as a tutor was integral to that. Steve is very skilled at understanding individuals and working out how to work with them. He clearly has a lot of experience of working with different types of neurodivergence/learning needs and a deep understanding of how we learn and how to apply that in a way that is engaging and kind. Thank you Steve!

I cannot speak highly enough of the Debbie from Sneational tutors who came to our family's aid during a time of utter crisis. From the moment she stepped through our door, it was evident that we were in the presence of someone truly exceptional. Her wealth of experience in working with children with special educational needs was immediately apparent, and she seamlessly adapted to our unique and challenging situation with remarkable expertise.

Our child, who has complex learning difficulties, was struggling immensely, and as parents, we felt overwhelmed and helpless. However, Debbie brought not only her extensive knowledge and professional skills but also an incredible warmth and empathy that helped transform our home environment. She connected with our child on a level we had never seen before, understanding their needs, frustrations, and strengths in a way that was both insightful and compassionate.

Her approach was holistic, taking into consideration not just the academic requirements but also the emotional and social aspects of our child's development. She created a tailored plan that was both challenging and achievable, and her patience and encouragement fostered a sense of confidence and motivation in our child that had been missing for so long.

What truly sets her apart is her personal touch. She took the time to get to know our family, understanding the dynamics and challenges we face daily. Her empathy and genuine care extended beyond just the educational needs; she supported us as a family unit, offering invaluable advice and strategies that have had a profound impact on our overall well-being.

In a time of darkness, she brought light and hope back into our lives. Her dedication, professionalism, and heartfelt approach have made an immeasurable difference. We are eternally grateful for her presence and cannot recommend her highly enough to any family in need of SEND support. She is not just a tutor but a beacon of positivity and change.

Miriam is a fantastic tutor for our daughter. She is extremely thorough in everything she does. Our daughter's progress in maths has really improved since we started using Miriam about 8 months ago and her confidence in this area has improved greatly. We could not recommend Miriam highly enough.

We were apprehensive about online tutoring for Dan as he has always struggled to learn online. His autism means he struggles to maintain focus in subjects he is not interested or confident in. He had been out of education for a year but really wanted to learn. We were able to secure SENsational Tutors using our personal budget and are so happy that we did!
Anthony taught Dan GCSE maths. He invested his time to get to know Dan and build a rapport based on Dan's special interests. We were really impressed with the effort and skill he put into creating a really good relationship with Dan very quickly. Dan's confidence in Maths was very low and Anthony worked hard to build him up and we could see this improving after every session. This gave him a foundation that he then used to build up Dan's knowledge in all areas across the curriculum. Anthony was always professional and responsive with all his dealings with us and Daniel and kept us informed of what was covered, progress and planning. The real care and consideration he gave meant a lot to us and to Dan and we are genuinely glad to have been able to work with Anthony.

We are so glad to have worked with Dee on Dan's English language GCSE. His autsim means he really struggles to engage and makes sense of non-literal language and he was becoming very demotivated and bored with the texts we had been using. Dee breathed new life into his learning with her enthusiasm and warmth and Dan immediately felt comfortable and supported. Dee developed his confidence and capabilities and pushed him to achieve more than he believed he could. She went above and beyond to support him, including during her holiday. She is professional and responsive and her energy and enthusiasm is contagious! We are so glad that Dan got the benefit of her teaching.

Phil has been tutoring my son for over a year and Will looks forward to his session every week. Phil has been calm,responsive and adaptive to Will’s needs both socially and academically. He has understood what Will needs from the get-go and Will now trusts him and has grown in confidence. Phil not only understands the different needs of SEN pupils but is also a knowledgable and excellent business studies tutor. It has been great to witness-thanks Phil!

My daughter has always struggled with maths. SENsational Tutors was able to provide a tutor with highly relevant skills and experience. It was easy for us to get the tutoring set up. Janice was excellent with my daughter. She was able to analyse what her difficulties were and teach her in a way that made sense to her.

Since contacting Lucy through SENsational tutors 6 months ago she has been nothing but professional and goes the extra mile to help with ideas and support for both me as a parent and for my daughter with complex needs and ASD. Lucy has a calm and enthusiastic approach which has brought the best out in my daughter and she is making great progress. I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough and SENsational tutors Joanna was very approachable and knowledgeable when I was looking for a tutor and she was key in matching Lucy with my daughter.
