Are there educational Tutor/Mentor who specialise in SEN?

[ItsMyIssue]

DC is bright and up until Y9 has done well at school. However, they are finding they can no longer ‘coast’ through the GCSE syllabus. DC can’t see the connection between revising and increased ability as they have always been able to well without effort. This is now beginning to impact their mindset. ‘Why bother trying I’m clearly not good at maths anymore’ type of attitude. We’ve been going round in circles with different approaches to note taking/revision etc. and although school is helpful, I think getting advice from someone who isn’t family or associated with school would help. We really need someone to help with building confidence and developing study techniques. Has anyone used a tutor/mentor, company or an on-line program they could recommend?

My dc attends Minerva Virtual Academy (MVA). They specialise in providing online learning to pupils with SEND, especially with ASD and ADHD (with history of school regusal), and also to semi/professional athletes, so are pretty clued up on SEND and mentoring a growth mindset. They originated from a tutor service that is still going strong, so you can book their tutors at minervatutors.co.uk

You could try Learn with SAT, Wildheart Foundation, Love2Learn, Claire Millar - maths positive, Laura does maths, Maths by Ian, Hill tuition, South Coast tutors. For more mentoring based support, you could try Gecko.

Hi!

I've recently started tuition for my DS in year 11 for GCSE and DD for 11+ with a company called stethoscope scholars.

Really great so far, my son was exactly the same and I was worried with his exams coming up but he's made great progress in the last month. Price is reasonable too
