Can MyTutor work with pupils with EAL/SEND needs?

We want every pupil to be successful on MyTutor. Many pupils with SEND and EAL needs benefit and progress from lessons with MyTutor, and you are encouraged to think carefully about the specific needs of each pupil.

It may be that MyTutor tutors are well placed to support them, but MyTutor lessons will not be suitable for all pupils with SEND.

Our tutors are trained subject specialists from the UK’s top universities - but they are not qualified teachers.

All our tutors go through our compulsory training programme, which covers the basic principles of supporting pupils with SEND. The training is designed to raise awareness of the different categories of SEND and support tutors in tailoring their teaching style to support pupils with different needs.

If you’re unsure if MyTutor is right for your pupils with SEND, get in touch with schools@mytutor.co.uk, or your dedicated Relationship Manager, to discuss your pupils' specific learning needs.

When you fill in our Pupil Details Form, there is space for you to add any additional information about individual pupils which you’d like their tutors to be aware of. This information will be passed on to tutors so that they can bear in mind any adjustments which may need to be made when planning their lessons.

If you have any more specific questions about this, please drop us a line on schools@mytutor.co.uk, or get in touch with your relationship manager directly.
