SEND support in Essex runscouncil by council
Essex families sit under one of three councils: Essex County Council, Southend or Thurrock, each with its own SEND Local Offer and EHCP process. All three official pages are linked below.

If your child has an EHCP, or is out of school, tutoring can sometimes be funded by the council through an EOTAS package or personal budget. Our EHCP specialists can help you understand what your LA will and won't fund.
Our Bespoke Tutoring Approach
Tell us what you'd like the hours to do
A short, friendly enquiry: your child, your postcode, and what you'd like the hours to cover. We check we can serve your area and hand-pick a vetted, Enhanced-DBS SEND tutor who actually fits. And we're honest if we don't have the right person near you yet.
Your tutor comes to you
One hour, one-to-one, at your home. Sessions are booked around family life: after school, weekends, school holidays. No centre, no travel, no waiting room, just your child at their own kitchen table with someone who gets them.
You hear how it went, every visit
After each hour you get the honest picture: what they worked on, what landed, and what's coming next. And because it's pick and mix, you can change what the hours cover whenever your child needs something different.
