Specialist, patient and highly personalised SEN tutoring and mentoring for children and young people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, EHCPs and a wide range of additional needs — online and face-to-face across the UK.
Our specialist tutors work in close partnership with families, schools and SENCOs, so every child's programme is joined up, professionally informed and built around their individual EHCP targets and learning needs.
Every child with special educational needs deserves a tutor who truly understands them. At Thrive, our SEN tutors are experienced specialists — not just subject teachers who have worked with one or two SEN pupils, but professionals with deep, practical knowledge of how different needs affect learning.
We take the time to understand each child's learning profile, their strengths, their challenges, and what makes them tick — then we build a tutoring programme around that individual, not around a generic template.
"Our daughter has ADHD and had been failed by three tutors before Thrive. Within six weeks, she was engaged, motivated and making real progress. The difference has been extraordinary."
"Thrive understood our son's autism from the very first session. The tutor adapted the environment, the pace, and the tasks — and he's now working confidently above his expected level."
Our tutors have specialist experience across a wide range of additional needs. Every child is matched with a tutor whose expertise fits their specific learning profile.
Structured, engaging sessions designed to work with ADHD — shorter tasks, frequent positive reinforcement, movement breaks and multi-sensory approaches that hold attention and build momentum.
Attention & FocusCalm, predictable and highly structured sessions for children on the autism spectrum. We work with sensory needs, communication preferences and special interests to create sessions that feel safe and productive.
ASD & AutismSpecialist reading, writing and literacy support using structured, multi-sensory approaches. Our dyslexia tutors are experienced in evidence-based methods that build fluency and confidence.
Literacy & ReadingTutoring aligned to Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) targets and outcomes. We liaise with families, schools and local authorities to ensure provision is purposeful and well-documented.
EHCP & SENDTrauma-informed, emotionally sensitive tutoring for children with social, emotional and mental health needs. We build trust first — learning follows.
SEMH & WellbeingWe also support children with dyspraxia, dyscalculia, speech and language difficulties, sensory processing needs and other additional needs. Get in touch to discuss your child's specific requirements.

We take matching seriously. Before suggesting a tutor, we gather detailed information about your child — their diagnosis or needs, learning style, interests, what has and hasn't worked before, and your goals. We then select a tutor whose specific experience and approach is the best fit, rather than just assigning whoever is available.
Get in touch to talk through the child's needs — whether you're a parent, school or local authority. We'll listen, advise, and suggest the best path forward.
