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.
SEND services in Edinburgh
In Scotland, the SEND system works differently from England. Instead of EHCPs, children with additional support needs receive Individualised Educational Programmes (IEPs) or Co-ordinated Support Plans (CSPs). Edinburgh Council's Additional Support for Learning team coordinates provision across the city's schools. Scotland has its own legal framework under the Education (Additional Support for Learning) Act 2004.
Typical costs
SEND tutors typically charge between £30 and £70 per hour, depending on their qualifications and location. Tutors with specialist qualifications (e.g., Level 5 dyslexia practitioner status) often charge at the higher end. Some Local Authorities fund SEND tutoring through EHCP provision.
