SEN Tutor

ASEND tuition supports SEND pupils and helps them continue their learning while they cannot access school or don’t have a school place. We are looking for an SEN Tutor with experience of pupils with communication needs to support an autistic pupil in West Drayton, Hillingdon, to continue his learning while he is out of school.

What ASEND Tuition Is

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

We tutor 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 to meet their specific needs and ensure good progress. We work very hard to match each tutor with pupils who can most benefit from their skills and expertise.

About The Pupil

We are seeking a tutor for a 14-year-old boy with a complex range of needs, including Autism, ADHD, and more. He has been out of school since June 2023 due to mental health issues and dislikes the idea of going back to school. We are supporting him to re-engage in learning in a way that he’ll enjoy and to give him the skills to rejoin a school when he is ready.

This pupil requires a tutor who can provide support and guidance in a calm and understanding manner. He can easily become overwhelmed and faces challenges that hinder his ability to engage, so resilience and experience in working with children with special needs are essential. The tutor will work alongside an established team to help manage his emotions and promote a safe and positive learning environment.

We will need a tutor who has experience in using communication strategies such as Makaton and PECs to enhance his ability to communicate. Further training can be supplied to enable his tutor to be prepared. This is a unique opportunity to make a positive impact on a young boy's life and contribute to his education and personal development.
