We cannot recommend Phil from SENsational Tutors highly enough. Our 10-year-old daughter is autistic with a pathological demand avoidant (PDA) profile, ADHD, sensory modulation disorder, a visual impairment, and OCD. She is bright, energetic, full of character, and eager to learn, but after experiencing severe burnout and trauma from school at the age of 7, she has been unable to attend school for over two and a half years. Her experience left her unable to trust adults, especially those connected to education, and she found it nearly impossible to engage with anyone outside of us, her parents.

After a disappointing experience with a previous tutor who didn't fully understand her complex and nuanced communication needs, we were incredibly apprehensive about trying again. Then we met Phil, and everything changed. From the moment we were introduced, we knew Phil was the perfect match for our daughter.

Phil is exceptional. He is gentle, flexible, and intuitive in his approach. He understands our daughter's unique challenges and adapts to her needs seamlessly. His ability to pick up on her subtle cues and adjust his methods accordingly is remarkable. He uses low-demand approaches, disguising learning within her interests and meeting her exactly where she is whether that's engaging in physical activities or weaving academic objectives into real-life, meaningful experiences.

Our daughter, who has been desperate to access learning but whose nervous system struggles to cope, has finally found someone who bridges that gap for her. Phil's methods have enabled her to experience the joy of learning again without the pressure that once overwhelmed her. She has bonded with Phil in a way we never thought possible; he has truly become like a member of our family.

From the start, SENsational Tutors proved to be easy to work with, offering clear communication and explanations of procedures. The tutor they matched us with, Jane, was the perfect fit for our complex SEN boy as part of his EHCP provision. Jane has gone above and beyond, drawing on her extensive expertise to reengage our child in education after an 18-month gap. Her thoughtful planning and relationship-first approach have been instrumental in building trust and fostering progress. Additionally, Jane provided invaluable input to the child's annual review through her thorough assessments and deep understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend SENsational Tutors to anyone seeking tailored, nurturing, and effective tutoring services.

My son Jonathan has ADHD and is currently in an international school in Spain. We are returning to the UK later this year and he needed to sit 13+ common entrance exams. I approached Sensational Tutors to find a tutor for maths and English. We had a 6 week window before the exams started. We were recommended two excellent tutors, Krista and Alexia. Both immediately built a rapport with Jonathan and made the lessons interesting and managed to keep Jonathan engaged. Communication with myself was first class. I highly recommend both of them. Just today Jonathan received his first offer from a school!

SENsational Tutors have been wonderfully supportive since we reached out and put us in touch with Ewa. Ewa is amazing, she has been calm and clear from the outset, which as parents we have really appreciated - there is lots of information to take on board! Ewa has developed a lovely relationship with our daughter, who despite grumbling about extra work, actually looks forward to their sessions. There is lots of fun and laughter at the sessions which is great to hear, especially when we know this accompanied lots of learning! Ewa is dedicated and we were astounded by the time and thought she put into communication with us.

Helen from SENsational Tutors is amazing. She has a remarkable ability to connect with young people who have become disillusioned by the education system and feel let down by it. Helen is not only professional but also deeply passionate about helping children rediscover their potential, guiding them to thrive once again.

Since Helen began tutoring our daughter, the transformation has been nothing short of amazing. Our daughter had struggled in three mainstream schools and was completely burned out, resistant to any form of educational support. Helen took the time to understand Florence's needs and interests, gradually building trust and rapport. She quickly discovered that Florence is a huge "Swiftie," and used this interest as the foundation for a creative, multidisciplinary project. Together, they built a 3D stage, blending subjects in a way that truly captured Florence's imagination.

Helen employs a variety of strategies tailored to Florence's specific learning needs, removing barriers to her learning wherever possible. Thanks to this thoughtful approach, Florence has re-engaged with education, and her passion for learning has been reignited. She’s now writing extensively—something she once resisted due to her dysgraphia—and is pursuing subjects she loves with renewed enthusiasm. In fact, she’s even developed an interest in marine biology!

Most importantly, I can see that Florence is not only excelling academically but is also happy, confident, and proud of who she is.

My son has been having weekly tuition for English and Maths with John for about 8 months. My son is in year 10 and has ADHD. Unfortunately, his experience of the school system was not a positive one, which led us to take the decision to homeschool.
John has made a real difference to my son’s attitude to learning and has helped restore some of the trust my son was lacking in the education system. Direct quote from my son: ‘I’ve learned more with John in a few months than I have in the last 3 years at school’.

I would highly recommend Helen from SENsational Tutors. She is an expert at connecting and empathising with young people who have become disillusioned and let down by the education system. Likewise, she is professional and passionate about bringing the absolute best out of children, enabling them to shine once more.
Ever since SENsational Tutors sent Helen to tutor our daughter, we've noticed magical results. Our daughter was failed by three mainstream schools and Helen joined us at the point where she was completely burnt out and resistant to any form of educational intervention. Helen took her time to get to know Florence, to see what her interests were and to gently build trust. She discovered that our girl is a 'Swiftie' and embarked on a multidisciplinary project incorporating a range of subjects to engage her, with a 3D stage that they built at the end of the unit. She employs a range of strategies to support Florence's specific learning needs and find ways to ensure she has little to no barriers to learning.
Our school refuser has reengaged with education and her love of learning has returned - she's even keen to work when Helen's not present; she's writing reams and reams when due to her dysgraphia, previously she refused to write at all; she has reconnected with subjects she's passionate about and is now keen to be a marine biologist. She reads for pleasure and most significantly, I feel our daughter is happy and proud to be herself.

I discovered Sensational Tutors when doing desk research to find support our son Hugo (9), who has ADHD and dyslexia and struggles in the classroom. There are a range of tutors available across different parts of London, we chose Ayanna because of the positive reviews from parents of boys of a similar age.
I have to say she's been phenomenal with Hugo, who is hyperactive and struggles with focus and learning, and whose self esteem is affected by comparing academic progress with other kids at school.

First Ayanna won his trust, friendship and respect, then she set about identifying the key areas he needed support. Hard to believe, but she has made learning so fun and so effective, that Hugo actually looks forward to the sessions. Ayanna is passionate about what she does and has made a real difference to Hugo. Couldn't recommend her enough to any parents of boys of a similar age with similar challenges. Thank you Ayanna and Sensational Tutors!

Helen has been a brilliant tutor for us. My son is autistic with a PDA profile and suspected dyspraxia. When I first spoke to Helen I explained what my son needed. The most important things for us were finding someone (very) patient and flexible. Helen said she could do that and I feel 100% she has been both these things.

Helen has a caring approach and she has continued to learn about my son’s needs along the way. Helen has reflected on and adapted how she does things as soon as any challenges arise. Helen has many strategy ideas for the tuition sessions and she will spend time outside of the sessions researching new approaches and activities. Helen provides a completely bespoke education for my son. The sessions are fun and interesting.

Helen is able to pick up on early signs of emotional dysregulation and immediately change the level of demand, offer a break or use a range of other strategies that are individual to my son.

Helen has worked with our OT to incorporate fine motor skill activities in tuition sessions, while bringing many of her own ideas. Helen has been able to engage my son with touch typing, something he has previously not wanted to do.

Helen supported us at my son’s EHCP annual review meeting, attending and being the main contributor to the meeting and writing a thorough and accurate report in advance of this.

After over a year out of school and school trauma Helen has been able to re-engage my son with learning. I am very grateful to her for this. I would highly recommend Helen as a tutor.

Sensational tutors matched us with Amanda over a year ago now as we were looking for a private tutor to support our Autistic/PDA daughter. When Amanda started our daughter had experienced severe school trauma and Autistic burnout and had lost all trust in adults. She barely left her room and could not engage in any other activity besides watching TV. When Amanda first agreed to work with Elsie I was at the point where I really thought no professional would be able to meet her complex needs and all provision would fail. How wrong I was! Amanda was the first professional I'd met that just 'got' PDA. She was willing to work with Elsie at her own pace and always focuses on the mental health of my daughter as the most important foundation to her learning. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and has years of experience working with SEN children but it is also her authenticity, her empathy and her calm presence plus her lived experience as an Autistic adult supporting Autistic children herself which truly makes her one of a kind. I feel so lucky to have her supporting us as she really has changed our lives, supporting not only Elsie but our entire family. We would be lost without her. Thank you Amanda for all you do. xx

Really pleased with my son’s tutor Kelly she has been wonderful over the past 13 months. My son has, and continues to, cover a range of subjects with her. Really pleased with his progress and will also be undertaking his GCSE’s thanks to her help.

We are grateful for Jessica’s hard work, patience, determination and passion. Jessica has great communication skills and was very flexible. She was very eager and joyful, passionate about my son understanding the content and patient when he struggled. She supported, strengthened and encouraged him not only in terms of his education but also through his medical treatment. Jessica was vital in the success of my son's exams, her patience and ability to help him understand was crucial. Jessica was truly a blessing

Anthony was very thorough and detailed when working with my son. He spent a lot of time beforehand preparing and designing lessons that were suited to him.

I recommend Francessca as an excellent tutor. She has been patient and professional in her approach ensuring the sessions were varied and interesting and met my son’s individual requirements. Francessca has explained concepts using clear, understandable and interactive methods. Her communication and organization has been fantastic since the start.

Our 15 year old daughter has dyslexia, and Caroline has been tutoring her for English Language and English Literature for the last 19 months in the run up to her GCSEs. She is a very skilled and experienced teacher as well as being kind and patient, and we have noticed our daughter’s confidence grow significantly as a result.

Caroline taught approaches for engaging with unseen texts, as well as wrangling with an enormous amount of literature content in the GCSE syllabus, condensing thoughts about themes, characters, story structure etc into digestible chunks that could be reached for during exams. She enabled our daughter to significantly improve her writing technique, and her grades improved accordingly. Caroline always communicates promptly and thoroughly after each session so we have a good idea of exactly what they have covered. We have been very grateful for all of her help.

SENsational tutors were very organised in the way they paired us up with Caroline, and contacted us from time to time to see how things were going. Their advice about how to find the help we needed, and how to navigate a state school with limited dyslexia support was all much appreciated.

Skills like this will stay with our daughter for life, and the people you choose to mentor can make an enormous difference, so we are very glad that we chose Caroline.

Dee tutored my son who had been out of school for a while. She was very patient and came up with various ways to help him back into education. Her communication was excellent and she was very supportive and encouraging.

Fantastic! My son James accessed sensational tutors and worked with Alexia.
James worked with Alexia for support with his Gcse English language and literature and exam.
In December he was predicted grade 2-3 after working hard with the support of Alexia he achieved grade 8

Alexia was very supportive, kind and patient she took the time to get to build a professional rappour with him and always communicated with both myself and my son in his progress and lessons.
Giving him the tools and confidence to go into his exams and come out with amazing results.
I would highly recommend Alexia and sensational tutors

Harry started working with Debbie a few months before his GCSE’s, Harry has Developmental Language Disorder and is severely dyslexic. Harry was predicted a 4 for English Language, got a 2 in his mocks, we received his results today and after working with Debbie has made a 7! To say he is on cloud nine is an understatement. Debbie gave him the skills and confidence he needed to get him to this truly amazing achievement. Harry really enjoyed his sessions with Debbie they worked well together and it now shows to what extent! - Thank you - Harry & Mum

Steve has been invaluable as a tutor. My son worked with him over a long time so that he could be supported with emotional regulation alongside extra maths and English. Our son, H, was so comfortable with Steve within a couple of sessions, clearly enjoying them (at a time when he was not enjoying school). The routine of those weekly sessions became an important part of the week for H and the connection and security he felt with Steve as a tutor was integral to that. Steve is very skilled at understanding individuals and working out how to work with them. He clearly has a lot of experience of working with different types of neurodivergence/learning needs and a deep understanding of how we learn and how to apply that in a way that is engaging and kind. Thank you Steve!

I cannot speak highly enough of the Debbie from Sneational tutors who came to our family's aid during a time of utter crisis. From the moment she stepped through our door, it was evident that we were in the presence of someone truly exceptional. Her wealth of experience in working with children with special educational needs was immediately apparent, and she seamlessly adapted to our unique and challenging situation with remarkable expertise.

Our child, who has complex learning difficulties, was struggling immensely, and as parents, we felt overwhelmed and helpless. However, Debbie brought not only her extensive knowledge and professional skills but also an incredible warmth and empathy that helped transform our home environment. She connected with our child on a level we had never seen before, understanding their needs, frustrations, and strengths in a way that was both insightful and compassionate.

Her approach was holistic, taking into consideration not just the academic requirements but also the emotional and social aspects of our child's development. She created a tailored plan that was both challenging and achievable, and her patience and encouragement fostered a sense of confidence and motivation in our child that had been missing for so long.

What truly sets her apart is her personal touch. She took the time to get to know our family, understanding the dynamics and challenges we face daily. Her empathy and genuine care extended beyond just the educational needs; she supported us as a family unit, offering invaluable advice and strategies that have had a profound impact on our overall well-being.

In a time of darkness, she brought light and hope back into our lives. Her dedication, professionalism, and heartfelt approach have made an immeasurable difference. We are eternally grateful for her presence and cannot recommend her highly enough to any family in need of SEND support. She is not just a tutor but a beacon of positivity and change.
