My experience with special educational needs

I tutor exclusively online and have extensive experience supporting students with a wide range of needs, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, anxiety, trauma, Tourette’s, PDA, OCD, PTSD, epilepsy, sensory processing challenges, and speech and language difficulties. I work with all children and young people, not just those with diagnosed conditions, and help each one reach their potential in a way that suits them. Many students come to me after struggling elsewhere, and I am known for helping them thrive, often for the first time. I adapt to each learner’s pace and preferences, offer structured and consistent support, and build trust, confidence, and self-belief. All lessons are fully tailored and recorded for reinforcement. Wast majority of students I support make meaningful progress, academically and emotionally, with consistent praise from students, parents and carers.

A bit about me

I’m a highly experienced tutor and mentor with a long-standing background in education, leadership, and charity work. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities, including those with a wide range of special educational needs. I approach every learner with genuine care, clarity, and calm authority. I offer a safe, structured space where students feel understood, respected, and encouraged to succeed. I never rush or talk down to students. My methods are grounded in mutual trust, careful observation, and consistent listening and observing. I’ve supported learners from all backgrounds, from those out of school to Oxbridge applicants, and I try to help each one to feel capable, confident, focused, and in control.

My teaching philosophy

I believe that effective education begins with creating a space where every student feels safe, capable, and genuinely heard. My approach is fully individualised and tailored, combining structure, empathy, listening and agility. I provide clear explanations, calm delivery, and a strong routine. I try to build trust quickly, especially with students who have previously lost confidence. I always prepare thoroughly, communicate clearly, and adapt instinctively in real time. I keep lessons focused and interactive, always adjusting to a student’s needs, but always smuggle in interaction and them feeling in control. The difference for my students is not just better grades, but restored confidence, which always results in better grades and a confident and satisfied student.
