Chris came in with energy and knowledge and a willingness to find our son. To really reach him and develop a systematic method of studying to be able to measure his abilities and progress. Our son immediately took to him, and was so excited to be able to speak about things that are far beyond mom regarding the universe and all things science. Chris is patient and able to recognize and respond appropriately to moments of challenge that our son experiences and he is a wonderful addition to his educational team.

Avani has ADHD combined diagnosis. Her main area of need is in Executive Functioning skills/study skills. She suffers with anxiety/melt downs, cognitive ability to comprehend questions in English language/literature and history mainly. She struggles with task initiation and lack of concentration for any meaningful length of time. Her perfectionism and inflexible way of working hinders her ability to write constructively under timed conditions. During my research for a tutor that could meet Avani's ND needs, I was lucky to find Glynda from SenSational Tutors. Glynda has been tutoring Avani since September 2025. Glynda built a trusting and honest relationship with Avani very quickly as they had to hit the ground running, due to Avani's final GCSE exams this spring. Glynda's professional and friendly way of supporting/tutoring Avani has been amazing and they have worked exceptionally well together from the start. Avani is working incredibly hard with Glynda and making good progress in learning the strategies and way of working which suits her needs. We are extremely happy with Glynda's expertise in this area and could not have wished for a better tutor to help/support and motivate Avani. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Highly recommend Alex!
My 9 year old daughter who has ADHD and suspected dyslexia has a fantastic tutor, Alex, who has been provided by SENational Tutors. I can’t say enough about how wonderful and impactful Alex has been to be my daughter’s progress over the last year - my daughter has found school challenging but with Alex’s help it’s clear that her confidence is growing and importantly she is recognising how to manage her ADHD. Alex is warm, patient, considerate and an expert in identifying the needs of children with ADHD. She has helped my daughter develop strategies to aid her learning and emotional wellbeing, as well as to advocate for herself in school. Alex creates an environment which is fun, safe and importantly, interesting. My daughter always looks forward to her weekly sessions with Alex. Thank you Alex for the continuous help and support you provide our daughter and our family!

After fighting relentlessly for an EOTAS package, our tutor Helen, from SENsational Tutors was the only person who was able to truly reach Dylan and build a genuine, trusting relationship with him. Other alternative provisions who I was introduced to by the local authority didn’t have the skills, experience, or care needed to really develop that connection. I did my own research and requested SENsational Tutors to be the chosen provider. I simply don’t know where we would be without them.

From the very first interaction, it was clear that SENsational Tutors leads with the heart. As a parent who had spent so long battling for an EOTAS package and to be heard, I finally felt listened to, understood, and supported. But what truly set them apart was the care they showed in getting to know Dylan as a person, not just a pupil. Helen took the time to understand his interests and passions (especially Aston Villa!) and used them to create engaging, motivating sessions that Dylan connected with.

If you are searching for an alternative provision that genuinely cares about the children and families it supports, SENsational Tutors goes above and beyond in every possible way. We will always be grateful for the difference they have made to Dylan’s life and to our family. We cannot put into words how much the support from SENsational Tutors has meant to our family during one of the most difficult periods of our lives.

Alex has been working with my 11-year-old autistic son (PDA profile) and ADHD since June 2025, and the impact has been remarkable. Through patience and a personalised, child-centred approach, she built trust and tailored sessions to his interests and needs. He is now calm, happy, and thriving, and genuinely enjoys learning again. I would highly recommend Alex as a tutor for children with special educational needs.

I very much feel that Sensational took the time and effort to match our child with a tutor that was right for them. For the first time our child has engaged with tutoring and we have seen a huge growth in their self esteem and confidence. Glynda is simply excellent: intuitive and responsive and someone who clearly understands the distinct needs of neurodivergent children.

We were in absolute despair before we found Sensational;- finding a tutor for a highly complex young man with significant learning disabilities but a proven ability to learn had seemed an impossible task. It immediately became clear that Sensational differ from other providers in their expert understanding of statutory frameworks and genuine ability to understand, work with and support young people and their families. We were astonished at the sheer level of ground work they were willing to put in where other providers were clearly only interested in payment. Terri was identified by Sensational as being a suitable tutor- but it was very clear the decision was ours - and the quality of both Sensational’s background work and Terri’s professionalism and experience became clear as soon as she was introduced to us. Watching Terri at work is extraordinary, she very quickly was able to judge how to encourage and develop the potential of a young man needing highly specialised education whilst keeping him engaged and safeguarding his precarious mental health. Terri’s amazing creativity, resourcefulness, experience and sensitivity mean that she is able to offer an education which would otherwise be completely inaccessible. We cannot recommend Terri and Sensational highly enough.

Ms Glynda has been an incredible support for our 8-year-old son since she started working with him in September. We have already seen noticeable improvements in his English comprehension. As an autistic child, English has always been a real challenge for him, but he is now beginning to construct his own sentences, which is a huge achievement.

Ms Glynda took the time to understand his individual needs and quickly identified his areas of difficulty. Her creative and flexible teaching approach has kept him engaged and, just as importantly, has significantly reduced his anxiety around English homework.

She is friendly, professional, and completely reliable, and we are extremely grateful for the positive impact she has had on both our son’s learning and confidence. We would highly recommend Ms Glynda to any parent looking for an experienced and understanding SEN tutor.

After an awful experience with a private school for special needs, we successfully assembled a fantastic team of tutors to continue homeschooling our neurodiverse child. Nine months in, everything is progressing wonderfully.

My daughter Abrar is 4 years old, and I am truly grateful for her amazing English teacher miss rose . Since learning with her, Abrar has shown great improvement in her language skills and confidence. The teacher is very kind, patient, and supportive, and she creates a fun and encouraging learning environment. Abrar really enjoys her lessons, and we can clearly see the positive impact on her learning. Thank you for your wonderful effort.

Finding Hina has been truly life-changing for me and my child. As a parent of a child with additional needs, it can often feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting, but from the moment Hina started working with my child we felt understood, supported, and no longer alone.
Hina was the first person who truly listened and understood — not just my child, but me as his parent.
Hina has an incredible gift for connecting with children in a calm, gentle, and deeply respectful way. My son feels safe with her, and that trust has made such a difference.
What has touched us most is how much Hina has supported me as a parent, not just my son as a pupil. She has taken the time to listen, reassure, and guide me through challenges, offering practical strategies and encouragement when I needed it most. She has helped me feel more confident in supporting my son at home and has reminded me that I am doing my best for my child.
Hina doesn’t just tutor — she genuinely cares. Her compassion, dedication, and understanding go far beyond what we ever expected, I am endlessly grateful for the positive impact she has had on our lives.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Hina to any parent looking for someone who truly understands SEN children and the families behind them. She has made a profound difference to our journey, and we cannot thank her enough.
In a system where parents can often feel unheard, Hina took the time to truly listen, and that made all the difference.

My 12yo son is autistic with a demand avoidant profile. He also has a chronic health condition and severe anxiety. After nearly two years out of school, I was concerned that he would never be able to engage with formal education again but Sensational Tutors proved me wrong!
My son's tutor, Luke, has gone above and beyond to cater to my son's needs. He is full of empathy, kindness and patience which has enabled my son to engage with learning on his own terms and to build rapport and importantly, trust. My son reports that Luke is the best teacher ever! Whilst it's not always plain sailing and my son still gets very anxious at times, he knows that Luke will be there for him regardless and will guide him through it.
As a parent, it's an immense relief to be working with someone who understands so completely. It's evident that Luke has vast amounts of relevant experience and he is also always open to hearing suggestions about new approaches.
I'm so delighted that we are lucky enough to have found such an amazing tutor. My son has learnt so much in such a short time. Thank you, Luke and thank you Sensational Tutors.

Siri has been tutoring my son, who is autistic, for over a year now, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. He absolutely loves their sessions and will happily sit and focus with her for 1.5 hours each week — something we honestly never imagined would be possible.
She tailors activities to his interests and has built a truly wonderful rapport with him. The progress he has made over the past year has been remarkable, and so much of that is thanks to Siri’s skill, patience, and understanding.
Her communication is always open and honest, and she has even taken the initiative to connect with his school teachers to make sure her support aligns with what he needs in every environment. Beyond academics, she has helped him develop emotionally — building resilience, managing feelings, and growing in confidence.
We are incredibly grateful for everything Siri has done so far and look forward to working with her more in the future.

We have mange to find a great set of tutors for our neurodiverse child so that we can continue to home educate him after a terrible experience in a private special needs school. It's been 9 months and we are going strong...

My son (now in GCSE year) has been studying with Luke for the past year and a half.

He has found working with Luke really inspiring and extremely helpful.

Luke instantly engaged with my son and really understood his educational needs, bonding with him and encouraging him. My son was immediately reassured and interested by the lessons.

Luke has been able to cover many subjects and each time provide a lesson which is adapted for my son’s needs (he has Dyslexia and Auditory Processing disorder). Luke is extremely thoughtful and diligent and really prepares each lesson carefully to enable my son to get the most out of each topic. Luke is also very kind to liaise with me where that is needed.

We highly recommend Luke as an extremely capable and experienced SEN teacher. My son and I have been delighted with every aspect of his teaching and care.

Our 5 year old daughter has complex learning needs, so finding the right support was extremely important for us. Izabela began providing specialist tutoring in August 2025, and she has made a truly remarkable difference.

Izabela is patient, knowledgeable, and highly skilled in working with non-verbal learners. She tailors her approach to meet our daughter’s individual needs and uses effective strategies to support communication and engagement.

Since starting sessions, our daughter is now using more single words, which is a significant and encouraging step for her. She looks forward to her sessions with Izabela, and they have become a valued and consistent part of her weekly routine.

The care, dedication, and expertise Izabela brings to her tutoring have been invaluable, and we are extremely grateful for the positive impact she has made. We would highly recommend Izabela to any family seeking specialist tutoring for children with additional or complex needs.

We started working with John Kimber at @SenSational Tutors three years ago to help our son Alex prepare for his SATs. At the time, Alex preferred female teachers, but he immediately connected with John, and we're so glad it happened. John helped Alex build confidence in his studies by understanding his ASD rather than fighting against it. He knew Alex would enjoy sharing about his week or discussing topics he liked, yet he keeps the lessons focused. They still do this, and Alex is now in Year 9. Our experience has been exceptional. John has a natural talent for connecting with students and bringing out their best. He is patient, calm, and very understanding, taking the time to learn about Alex’s strengths, challenges, and unique way of communicating. John provides as much feedback as needed and always informs us of any concerns.

I can’t recommend John highly enough for any parent looking for someone who truly understands and supports neurodiverse children.

I have a 5 year old autistic son, who is my only child. At the start of year one, he was very overwhelmed and although he was masking well at school, he was coming home and was biting, spitting and kicking me. I don't have any other children, let alone, a neurodivergent one and I really struggled on how to parent this. I knew he was struggling with his emotional regulation and sensory stimulation and I needed tools to teach him, but didn't have the tools myself to do so and I needed some help. I searched the web and came across SENSational tutors and reviewed the profiles of the individual tutors and came across Nicole's profile. With her experience, I felt she would be a great fit for us. I made contact immediately. I then had a conversation with Nicole so she could get a feel for what our needs and expectations were. We then agreed for her to come to ours and meet my son and see how things went and then we would take it from there. The meeting was very successful. My son, David and Nicole got along really well. She did some sensory activities with him and I noticed a difference in my son after the first session. He was calmer and really looked forward to his weekly sessions with Nicole. In the time that we spent with Nicole, she would not only support David, but she supported me to. She was teaching me how to structure sensory activities for him, gave me some good advice on resources to help with the sensory needs and with the emotional regulation. I have been applying all of the information that Nicole has taught me and my son is doing so well. He is no longer biting, spitting or kicking after school and is much more regulated. I can't thank her enough.

I have a non verbal 4 year old and in just 2 months I have seen notable improvement in her attention span and her ability to self regulate. Sensational Tutors helped us find Izabela who has been a God send.

Sensational tutors have been extremely supportive to both myself and my son. Raising a child with SEN has an impact upon the whole family and added to this are the continual battles with systems which are exhausting and debilitating. Finding help through sensational tutors gives us confidence that people do genuinely want to help to support the development and life skills for our children. Our tutor Darcey is simply wonderful, she is vibrant, supportive and has a lovely relationship with my son William which is key to his learning. Darcey is patient, understanding and appreciative of our home and family. Darcey recognises when William is not himself and supports him emotionally as well as educationally, she teaches through play and has learnt what works and what may not to keep William engaged. Darcey has a truly holistic approach and we are happy she is a part of William’s and our journey. I trust sensational tutors and they fully understand how inviting someone into a SEN child’s life and family can be a huge event. The small things are never underestimated and they personal touches of a quick phone call by the team proves they are passionate about the work they provide. They are much more than a service they are making positive change for our children.
Darcey is simply a joy and we are so happy she is supporting our son and helping him to thrive.
