SEND-friendly English and Literacy Tuition in Hangleton, Hove and Portslade
Is your child feeling overwhelmed by English?
Do GCSE texts, SATs pressure, or literacy challenges feel like a mountain to climb?
I specialise in providing a supportive, patient, and positive learning environment specifically designed for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and anxiety.
My approach is not a one-size-fits-all. I build a connection first, then create a tailored learning plan that I adapt to your child’s strengths and gently supports their challenges.
What you can expect:
* A Calm & Patient Environment: Lessons are a stress-free zone. We move at your child’s pace, with plenty of breaks and encouragement.
* Multi-Sensory Learning: I use a variety of methods—visual aids, mind maps, practical exercises, and technology—to make concepts stick.
* Building Core Skills: Focusing on reading comprehension, creative writing, essay structure, spelling, and grammar in an accessible way.
* Exam Confidence: For GCSE English Language & Literature and SATs, we focus on understanding exam questions, managing time, and reducing anxiety, turning panic into preparation.
* Celebrating Every Step: I believe in nurturing self-esteem. Every effort is recognised, and every achievement, big or small, is celebrate
