SEN (Special Educational Needs) support tutoring works with students who have dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, processing difficulties or other learning needs. Specialist SEN tutors use structured, multisensory approaches to build the specific skills each student needs, such as Orton-Gillingham phonics for dyslexia or structured numeracy programmes for dyscalculia.
Mainstream classroom teaching rarely adapts to the specific processing style of a student with SEN at the depth needed to close persistent gaps, a specialist one-to-one tutor who understands the neurocognitive basis of a student's difficulty and knows evidence-based intervention approaches makes a measurable difference.
Edinburgh families seek tutors for both the Scottish curriculum (National 5, Higher) and for preparation for independent school entrance exams.
Every SEN Support tutor listed for Edinburgh sets their own rates and availability, so families across Scotland can compare verified profiles side by side rather than going through an agency. Whether you need weekly in-person sessions or flexible online lessons, you can message a SEN Support tutor directly and arrange a first lesson on your own terms.
