Online SEND & Neurodivergent Tutoring

Individual tuition. Different ways of learning. The same high expectations.

At The Thrive Hive, we understand that a young person can be bright, capable and full of ideas while still finding aspects of traditional learning difficult.

Our experienced tutors provide individual online support for children and young people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and other additional learning needs, as well as students who simply learn differently.

We take time to understand the individual student — their strengths, the things they find difficult and, importantly, what helps them learn.

Book a free, no-obligation introductory chat with us. It’s an informal opportunity to tell us a little about your child, ask any questions and discuss how we may be able to support them.

We Adapt the Teaching to the Student

There is no single way to teach a neurodivergent learner.

Our one-to-one sessions allow tutors to adapt the pace, structure and teaching approach to suit each student.

Depending on individual needs, we can support:

  • Reading and comprehension
  • Writing and spelling
  • Maths
  • Working memory and processing
  • Organisation and executive functioning
  • Inference and understanding implied meaning
  • Exam technique and revision
  • Confidence and independent learning
Sometimes a small change in the way something is explained can make an enormous difference.

Confidence Matters

For some young people, struggling at school has gradually changed the way they see themselves as learners.

We often hear:

“I can’t do it.”
“I’m just bad at English.”
“Everyone else understands it quicker than me.”

At The Thrive Hive, rebuilding confidence is part of the learning.

One-to-one tuition provides a calm space where students can ask questions, revisit something they haven’t understood and make mistakes without worrying about what anybody else is doing.

SEND Does Not Mean Lower Expectations

We believe this is incredibly important.

Neurodivergent students are not one group of learners with one level of ability.

We support students who need help securing fundamental skills as well as highly able students aiming for the top GCSE grades.

The teaching may need to be different.

The ambition doesn’t.

Why Online Tutoring?

For many neurodivergent students, learning online can work particularly well.

Familiar Environment

Learning from home can remove some of the noise, movement and environmental demands of a busy classroom.

Fewer Distractions

One-to-one sessions can reduce some of the social pressure and distractions associated with group learning.

Individual Pace

Lessons can move at the student’s pace, with time to process information and revisit difficult concepts.

Complete Attention

Most importantly, the student has the tutor’s complete attention throughout the session.

Individual Support for Individual Learners

We can provide tuition for children and young people with:

We also support students who do not have a formal diagnosis but who simply benefit from a different approach to learning.

A formal diagnosis isn’t required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my child need a formal SEND diagnosis?

No. We support students with diagnosed additional needs as well as young people who do not have a diagnosis but learn differently or are struggling with aspects of their education.

Do you support students with ADHD, autism and dyslexia?

Yes. Because tuition is one-to-one, teaching can be adapted to the individual student’s strengths, difficulties and preferred ways of learning.

Can you support neurodivergent students with GCSEs?

Yes. We support GCSE students with English, Maths and Science, including students who need additional help and those aiming for higher grades.

Is online tuition suitable for SEND students?

For many students, yes. Learning from familiar surroundings can reduce some of the sensory, social and environmental demands associated with a classroom. Every student is different, which is why we begin with an informal conversation.

 

It Starts With a Conversation

Every child is different, so we don’t begin with assumptions.

We usually start with a complimentary online chat to learn a little about your child, what they are finding difficult and what they would like to achieve.

It also gives you the opportunity to meet us and decide whether The Thrive Hive feels right for your family.
