Powertutors: one-to-one tutoring for students with SEND and EHCPs in the UK

Powertutors is a British provider of one-to-one tutoring for students who require additional educational support, with a particular focus on those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and those with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The company works with schools, local authorities and families across the UK, offering both in-person tutoring at home and online.

Student profile and SEND experience

Powertutors' dedicated SEND team reviews EHCPs and suggests the most suitable tutors based on each child's or young person's needs. The company supports students from age 0 to 25 and reports experience with students with ASD, ADHD, OCD, PDA, ADD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, sensory issues, SEMH, anxiety, speech and language difficulties, PTSD, behavioural challenges, hearing impairment, visual impairment and physical disabilities, among other conditions.

Partnership with schools and local authorities

Powertutors presents itself as a supplier to a number of UK local authorities, helping them with alternative provisions for children with SEND. The company designs flexible packages tailored to each local authority and monitors progress through monthly reports and check-ins. Its team can attend PEP meetings to keep all involved parties updated and suggest ideas to support the student's education or life skills.

It also works with schools across the country, providing tutors to students who need to catch up, have special educational needs or require part-time education.

Services for families

For families, Powertutors offers one-to-one tutoring for students who need extra support with 11+ preparation, entrance exams, GCSEs, A levels or private home schooling. The company also offers home schooling.

Tutor selection and vetting

Powertutors' vetting team meets every tutor over a video call and carries out stringent checks before approving them: identification checks, reference checks and enhanced DBS checks. The company highlights that its tutors are caring, friendly and fun, and often become the student's mentors.

How it works

The process begins with a no-obligation phone call to understand the student's situation. The team then selects the tutor who best fits their needs and strengthens their knowledge of the specific subject. After the first lesson, progress is checked and additional support is offered if needed.

Coverage and formats

Powertutors has tutors across England and offers both online and in-person lessons. The company reports that it has received hundreds of reviews, with a rating of 4.8/5 on Trustpilot and 4.9/5 on Google.

Team and social commitment

Powertutors' team includes roles in relationship management, SEND educational leadership, operations, marketing, finance and educational administration. The company states that it supports two local charities: Stripey Stork, which redistributes essential items to families in need, and Include, dedicated to promoting inclusion, communication and understanding for people with speech and language disabilities.
