Private, one-to-one tutoring for high IQ children with Special Educational Needs
Supporting brilliant minds who learn and think differently
Parents with highly intelligent, neurodiverse children often reach out to specialist SEN-informed tutoring after a long period of uncertainty, frustration and distress.
Have you noticed that your child's development, confidence, and joy thrive when they have the freedom, creativity, and space to learn, and that traditional teaching methods in schools feel challenging, stressful, and overwhelming for them?
You may have been told that your child is more than capable, yet you see daily evidence that something isn’t working.
The children I support often struggle with exhaustion after school, experience anxiety around homework, panic over simple tasks, or doubt themselves despite their clear abilities and passion for certain subjects.
For families of high-IQ children with neudiversity, this can be especially unsettling.
Your child may articulate complex ideas with ease, then struggle to begin a piece of writing.
Or they may excel in one subject and struggle in another.
They may be outwardly coping at school, while quietly burning through their reserves.
I regularly work with students who are ‘twice exceptional,’ which means they have Special Educational Needs (SEN) such as ADHD or autism along with a high IQ.
I love working with students who need a creative, SEN-informed approach to learning.
Seeking support for a neurodivergent child is rarely a straightforward decision
Many parents worry about:
‘Labelling’ a child who is bright and articulate
Whether tutoring will add pressure rather than reduce it
Finding someone who truly understands neurodivergence, rather than simply pushing their child harder
Protecting confidence, self-esteem and the parent–child relationship at home
Balancing academic expectations with a child’s wellbeing
At Beatrix Woodhead & Associates, we offer carefully tailored one-to-one tutoring for high-ability and gifted students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), combining intellectual rigour with calm structure, clarity and reassurance.
We support students with specialist tuition and SEN-informed learning strategies
Our tutors typically work with students who:
have a high IQ or are academically gifted, yet are underperforming or becoming increasingly disengaged, or students who
have been diagnosed with, or suspected of having, special educational needs such as:
o Autism spectrum condition (ASC)
o ADHD / ADD
o Dyslexia, dyspraxia or related learning differences
o Anxiety-driven school avoidance or burnout
Attend, or aspire to attend, selective state or independent schools
Experience challenges with perfectionism, exams, confidence or self-belief
Families often arrive after reassurances that difficulties will resolve with time, despite clear signs that a student is struggling beneath the surface.
