"Helen from SENsational Tutors is exceptional!!"

Helen from SENsational Tutors is amazing. She has a remarkable ability to connect with young people who have become disillusioned by the education system and feel let down by it. Helen is not only professional but also deeply passionate about helping children rediscover their potential, guiding them to thrive once again.

Since Helen began tutoring our daughter, the transformation has been nothing short of amazing. Our daughter had struggled in three mainstream schools and was completely burned out, resistant to any form of educational support. Helen took the time to understand Florence's needs and interests, gradually building trust and rapport. She quickly discovered that Florence is a huge "Swiftie," and used this interest as the foundation for a creative, multidisciplinary project. Together, they built a 3D stage, blending subjects in a way that truly captured Florence's imagination.

Helen employs a variety of strategies tailored to Florence's specific learning needs, removing barriers to her learning wherever possible. Thanks to this thoughtful approach, Florence has re-engaged with education, and her passion for learning has been reignited. She’s now writing extensively—something she once resisted due to her dysgraphia—and is pursuing subjects she loves with renewed enthusiasm. In fact, she’s even developed an interest in marine biology!

Most importantly, I can see that Florence is not only excelling academically but is also happy, confident, and proud of who she is.

"Would recommend Sensational Tutors"

My son has been having weekly tuition for English and Maths with John for about 8 months. My son is in year 10 and has ADHD. Unfortunately, his experience of the school system was not a positive one, which led us to take the decision to homeschool.
John has made a real difference to my son’s attitude to learning and has helped restore some of the trust my son was lacking in the education system. Direct quote from my son: ‘I’ve learned more with John in a few months than I have in the last 3 years at school’.

"Thank you for returning our daughter to us!"

I would highly recommend Helen from SENsational Tutors. She is an expert at connecting and empathising with young people who have become disillusioned and let down by the education system. Likewise, she is professional and passionate about bringing the absolute best out of children, enabling them to shine once more.
Ever since SENsational Tutors sent Helen to tutor our daughter, we've noticed magical results. Our daughter was failed by three mainstream schools and Helen joined us at the point where she was completely burnt out and resistant to any form of educational intervention. Helen took her time to get to know Florence, to see what her interests were and to gently build trust. She discovered that our girl is a 'Swiftie' and embarked on a multidisciplinary project incorporating a range of subjects to engage her, with a 3D stage that they built at the end of the unit. She employs a range of strategies to support Florence's specific learning needs and find ways to ensure she has little to no barriers to learning.
Our school refuser has reengaged with education and her love of learning has returned - she's even keen to work when Helen's not present; she's writing reams and reams when due to her dysgraphia, previously she refused to write at all; she has reconnected with subjects she's passionate about and is now keen to be a marine biologist. She reads for pleasure and most significantly, I feel our daughter is happy and proud to be herself.

"Specialist Learning that makes a difference"

I discovered Sensational Tutors when doing desk research to find support our son Hugo (9), who has ADHD and dyslexia and struggles in the classroom. There are a range of tutors available across different parts of London, we chose Ayanna because of the positive reviews from parents of boys of a similar age.
I have to say she's been phenomenal with Hugo, who is hyperactive and struggles with focus and learning, and whose self esteem is affected by comparing academic progress with other kids at school.

First Ayanna won his trust, friendship and respect, then she set about identifying the key areas he needed support. Hard to believe, but she has made learning so fun and so effective, that Hugo actually looks forward to the sessions. Ayanna is passionate about what she does and has made a real difference to Hugo. Couldn't recommend her enough to any parents of boys of a similar age with similar challenges. Thank you Ayanna and Sensational Tutors!

"SENsational tutors"

Helen has been a brilliant tutor for us. My son is autistic with a PDA profile and suspected dyspraxia. When I first spoke to Helen I explained what my son needed. The most important things for us were finding someone (very) patient and flexible. Helen said she could do that and I feel 100% she has been both these things.

Helen has a caring approach and she has continued to learn about my son’s needs along the way. Helen has reflected on and adapted how she does things as soon as any challenges arise. Helen has many strategy ideas for the tuition sessions and she will spend time outside of the sessions researching new approaches and activities. Helen provides a completely bespoke education for my son. The sessions are fun and interesting.

Helen is able to pick up on early signs of emotional dysregulation and immediately change the level of demand, offer a break or use a range of other strategies that are individual to my son.

Helen has worked with our OT to incorporate fine motor skill activities in tuition sessions, while bringing many of her own ideas. Helen has been able to engage my son with touch typing, something he has previously not wanted to do.

Helen supported us at my son’s EHCP annual review meeting, attending and being the main contributor to the meeting and writing a thorough and accurate report in advance of this.

After over a year out of school and school trauma Helen has been able to re-engage my son with learning. I am very grateful to her for this. I would highly recommend Helen as a tutor.

"Incredible tutor, would recommend to anyone "

Sensational tutors matched us with Amanda over a year ago now as we were looking for a private tutor to support our Autistic/PDA daughter. When Amanda started our daughter had experienced severe school trauma and Autistic burnout and had lost all trust in adults. She barely left her room and could not engage in any other activity besides watching TV. When Amanda first agreed to work with Elsie I was at the point where I really thought no professional would be able to meet her complex needs and all provision would fail. How wrong I was! Amanda was the first professional I'd met that just 'got' PDA. She was willing to work with Elsie at her own pace and always focuses on the mental health of my daughter as the most important foundation to her learning. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and has years of experience working with SEN children but it is also her authenticity, her empathy and her calm presence plus her lived experience as an Autistic adult supporting Autistic children herself which truly makes her one of a kind. I feel so lucky to have her supporting us as she really has changed our lives, supporting not only Elsie but our entire family. We would be lost without her. Thank you Amanda for all you do. xx

"Really pleased with my son’s tutor…"

Really pleased with my son’s tutor Kelly she has been wonderful over the past 13 months. My son has, and continues to, cover a range of subjects with her. Really pleased with his progress and will also be undertaking his GCSE’s thanks to her help.

"Jessica was a hardworking personal tutor"

We are grateful for Jessica’s hard work, patience, determination and passion. Jessica has great communication skills and was very flexible. She was very eager and joyful, passionate about my son understanding the content and patient when he struggled. She supported, strengthened and encouraged him not only in terms of his education but also through his medical treatment. Jessica was vital in the success of my son's exams, her patience and ability to help him understand was crucial. Jessica was truly a blessing

"Highly recommended "

Anthony was very thorough and detailed when working with my son. He spent a lot of time beforehand preparing and designing lessons that were suited to him.

"I recommend Francessca as an excellent…"

I recommend Francessca as an excellent tutor. She has been patient and professional in her approach ensuring the sessions were varied and interesting and met my son’s individual requirements. Francessca has explained concepts using clear, understandable and interactive methods. Her communication and organization has been fantastic since the start.
