Specialist SEND tutoring for homeschooled children

Lionheart Education partners with a wide range of families in the UK and internationally who want the very best SEND tuition for their children. We understand that mainstream schooling can place a lot of pressure on children with special education needs and disabilities, including excessive sensory stimulation in large classrooms. Many children may have enjoyed primary school but struggle with the extra demands of secondary education, which hampers their educational potential, so families turn to SEN home education as the perfect solution.

One Child, One Plan

Bringing out the best in every child

It’s not uncommon for children with SEN to find a homeschooling environment much more suitable for them, thanks to the familiarity, but parents can doubt their ability to provide a sufficient level of education to keep them on track with their peers in mainstream education. That’s where a Lionheart SEND tutor comes in, as we provide a bespoke tutoring service that caters to the exact needs of the student and the family. 

Our tutors have extensive experience working one-to-one with children who have a range of special education needs and disabilities, and know just how to bring out the best in them. We carefully match students and tutors so that the school environment is not recreated at home, but tutoring takes place at the appropriate pace for the age and ability of each child in a calming, relaxed environment.

One Step at a Time

Engaging sessions that deliver results

With a face-to-face tutor either in-person or through online sessions, explanations can be repeated as many times as necessary and any misunderstandings cleared up immediately to prevent any gaps in understanding. Tutors are trained to deliver sessions with an added sense of patience, reducing the cognitive overload on students and breaking topics down into manageable chunks. 

With a specialist SEND tutor for a homeschooled child, students are more engaged in sessions and can learn in a way that suits them, rather than the generic approach offered in mainstream schools to large classrooms of students.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can a child with SEN be homeschooled in the UK?

    Yes, mainstream schooling is not always viable for children with SEND, so homeschooling by parents combined with tuition is a great way to make sure your child is learning everything they need to know in an environment that perfectly suits them.

  • Do you offer homeschooling tutors for autistic children?

    We have a wide range of tutors who can support students on the autistic spectrum with teaching that’s shaped around them. Our tutors adapt to your child’s unique way of learning and processing to deliver tailored sessions that are manageable and engaging.

  • How do you match a SEND tutor to a child’s needs?

    We take great pride in our matching service, and we hand-select the right tutor from hundreds of specialist educators. We match based on the child’s unique learning profile, communication style, and subjects you wish for them to study at KS3, GCSE, and A-Level. 

  • How personalised is a SEN homeschooling tutoring programme?

    All tutoring programs are tailored to your child, as the whole purpose of home education, as opposed to mainstream schooling, is to make learning genuinely accessible. The structure, style, pace, lesson length, and teaching style are all adapted to the needs of the SEN student.

  • Do you support children who are out of mainstream school?

    Parents can make the decision to remove SEND students from mainstream schooling, and in many cases, children may not be able to attend regularly. We perform an initial assessment for every student to determine how best to support their educational needs outside of a mainstream school setting.
