SEN Tutor

We are looking for compassionate tutors to support children and young people with SEND in Harrow. We support pupils with SEND who are not attending school for a number of reasons including Mental Health issues, lack of a suitable school place or waiting for a school place. We aim to prepare them for a return to mainstream or special school.

We support pupils of all ages face-to-face within school times and in a range of settings including homes, schools, community centres and out in the community. Our tuition is completely pupil-focused and can target developing early learning, following an academic curriculum, providing emotional support or developing life skills. We need a wide range of tutors to support our pupils and to help them meet their specific needs and ensure good progress. We work very hard to match each person with pupils who can most benefit from their skills and expertise.

About The Pupil

Our pupil is a 16-year-old young man with severe learning difficulties, epilepsy and speech and language needs. He is generally a happy and friendly child who loves to socialise. He has made great progress in social interactions with peers and would benefit from further support in developing healthy relationships. One of the goals for our pupil is to help him keep on top of his educational needs, as he has not been able to attend school due to his medical needs. A tutor who can deliver the core curriculum would be essential in this case. Our pupil loves to play with water, toy cars and likes spending time on his iPad.
