About send tutors

SEND tutors are teachers or tutors with specialist training in working with children who have learning difficulties or disabilities. Unlike mainstream tutors, they understand how conditions like dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism, and ADHD affect learning, and they adapt their teaching methods accordingly.

If your child is falling further behind despite school interventions, if they've lost confidence in their ability to learn, or if they need targeted support in specific areas like phonics or maths, a SEND tutor can fill the gap. They're also valuable during transitions — moving to secondary school, preparing for exams, or during periods when school provision has broken down.

The council's SENAR (Special Educational Needs Assessment and Review) service handles EHCP applications. Birmingham has a strong network of special schools and specialist provision, though waiting times for assessments and therapies remain a challenge.

Typical costs
