Inside the hour
60min

English
Reading between the lines, getting ideas onto the page, and making English lessons make sense.
- They can read the words, but 'what does the writer mean?' draws a blank.
- Writing tasks come home unstarted, or finished in three short sentences.
- English homework takes an hour of persuasion before it takes ten minutes of doing.
Tutors work with how your child reads and writes, not against it. Slow decoding or messy handwriting is never treated as a lack of ideas.

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.
Ready when you are

Common questions
How is this different from the reading or spelling hours?
They overlap, and plenty of families mix them. Reading & phonics rebuilds decoding, spelling & writing rebuilds the mechanics; the English hour is the subject itself: comprehension, composition and keeping up with what school is asking for.
Can the tutor help with what school has set?
Yes. Bring the reading book, the essay question or the revision list and the tutor will work through it side by side, filling gaps as they show up.
How much does it cost?
£80 a session, and that's the whole price: no registration fee, no agency mark-up, no minimum number of sessions. You pay for the hours you use.
Who are the tutors?
Vetted UK SEND tutors: qualified teachers and specialists chosen for how they work with children like yours. Everyone holds a current Enhanced DBS, verified with the issuer, with qualifications checked against the awarding body before they can take a family.
Do you cover my area?
Tell us where you are when you enquire. We'll be honest straight away if we don't have the right tutor near you yet, rather than matching you with whoever happens to be closest.
Does my child need a diagnosis?
No. Tell us what you're seeing in your own words. Tutors work from how your child actually learns, not from a label.
