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.

SEND services in Liverpool

Liverpool City Council manages SEND services across the city through its Education and Skills directorate. The council has several specialist resource provisions based in mainstream schools, offering additional support without the need for a special school placement. Alder Hey Children's Hospital, one of the UK's leading paediatric centres, provides diagnostic and therapeutic services for children across Merseyside.

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.
