James

I was born in the UK and raised across Malaysia and Singapore. I developed a passion for education, cultural diversity, and the power of language. With a career spanning top Singapore schools and later specialising in SEN in the UK, I’ve taught students from primary to IGCSE/GCSE, blending exam mastery with confidence-building and creative communication.

SEN Parerent Testimonials and Trust

Teaching students with autism, ADHD, and other special educational needs requires more than content delivery—it demands understanding the whole child. Key considerations include:

  • Diverse Learning Styles: Students with autism may benefit from structured lessons and visual aids, whilst those with ADHD may need interactive, shorter sessions.

  • Behavioural Challenges: Addressing anxiety, frustration, or low self-esteem through techniques like positive reinforcement and structured routines.

  • Building Trust: Creating a safe, supportive environment to foster motivation and learning.

  • Flexibility: Adapting lesson plans, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and creatively explaining concepts in core subjects like English and Maths

University Level Support

"Excellent. My son is currently doing a degree in engineering which includes physics. He was struggling with the content and had an exam in January.

James at SEN Specialists Tutoring was amazing and efficient, going above and beyond to find a suitable tutor over the Christmas period. We managed five online sessions before the exam, and my son passed. He learned more in those two weeks with than he had in three months at university. I would highly recommend SEN Specialists Tutoring. Thank you again."

Bringing Expertise To SEN Learning

We apply the same high standards used for top-performing students to SEN learners, ensuring quality education for all. Our approach bridges academic excellence with specialised support, helping students achieve both academic and personal growth.

The role of a Learning Designer for your Child

At SEN Specialists, our learning designer plays a crucial role in creating the most effective educational experience for every student. A learning designer in the SEN context acts as both an educational strategist and a bridge between students, families, and our tutoring team, ensuring that each child receives precisely the right type of support for their individual needs including Executive Functioning skills.

Assessment and Matching Process

Our learning designer conducts comprehensive assessments to understand each student’s unique learning profile. This involves evaluating academic strengths and challenges, identifying preferred learning modalities, and recognising specific Special Needs requirements such as attention difficulties, sensory processing needs, or social communication preferences. Through detailed analysis, they match stu dents with the most suitable tutor based on subject expertise, teaching style, personality compatibility, and specialised SEN training.

The matching process goes beyond academic requirements—our learning designer considers factors such as whether a student responds better to visual or kinaesthetic approaches, requires structured routines or benefits from flexibility, and thrives in highly interactive sessions or prefers calmer, more focused environments and using their interests to motivate them for learning including the designing of bespoke resouces.

Consultation with Families

The consultation process involves in-depth discussions with both parents and children to gain a complete picture of the student’s educational journey. Our learning designer meets with parents to under stand their concerns, previous educational experiences, and family goals, whilst also speaking directly with students to hear their voice, preferences, and aspirations.

These conversations help identify not just academic needs but also emotional and social factors that influence learning. The learning designer explores questions such as: What motivates this particular student? What previous approaches have been successful or unsuccessful? How does the student prefer to communicate and engage with learning material?

Benefits for All Students

Whilst our learning designer’s expertise is particularly valuable for students with ADHD, autism, dys lexia, and other special educational needs, the individualised approach benefits all learners. Students without diagnosed SEN often have unique learning preferences, confidence issues, or specific academic challenges that benefit from personalised attention and strategic planning.

For SEN students, the learning designer ensures that teaching methods align with their neurological differences and individual processing styles. For non-SEN students, the same detailed approach helps 3 identify optimal learning strategies that might not be obvious in traditional classroom settings, leading to improved engagement and academic outcomes.

Creating the Best Educational Fit

By combining comprehensive assessment, family consultation, and expert knowledge of SEN ped agogy, our learning designer creates what we call the “best educational fit.” This means that students are not simply assigned a tutor based on subject needs alone, but are carefully matched with an educator who understands their complete learning profile.

The result is more effective tutoring sessions, better student engagement, increased confidence, and sustainable academic progress. Students feel understood and supported, parents see meaningful im provements, and our tutors can focus their expertise where it will have the greatest impact.

Our learning designer continues to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed, ensuring that the educational approach evolves with the student’s development and changing needs.
