Across Somerset, too many young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) are struggling – disengaged from school, misunderstood in the classroom, or left behind by a system that wasn’t built to support them. But with the right support, that story can change. At Lexia Education Services, we believe that change begins with one committed person. That’s why we’re calling on passionate individuals across the county to step into a role that truly matters: becoming an SEN Tutor in Somerset.
Every Young Person Deserves a Chance to Thrive
In homes and classrooms across Somerset, there are young people who feel left behind – not because they lack potential, but because they need support that meets them where they are. For children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), the difference between struggling and succeeding often comes down to one thing: the right person showing up.
This is exactly why we do what we do.
At Lexia Education Services, we believe in more than just academic progress. We believe in helping young people feel seen, heard, and believed in. And right now, Somerset needs more compassionate, skilled SEN Tutors who are ready to step up and be that difference.
What SEN Tutors in Somerset Do
Becoming an SEN Tutor isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about showing up with heart, every single day.
Whether you’re working one-to-one or in small groups, SEN Tutors help students build confidence, re-engage with learning, and develop the tools they need to grow – both academically and emotionally.
Here’s what that looks like:
- Tailored Support – Sessions are shaped around each learner’s needs and personality.
- Emotional Safety – Tutors use trauma-informed approaches to build trust and confidence.
- Steady Progress – Every breakthrough, no matter how small, is a step toward a bigger future.
It’s about helping young people believe in themselves and what they’re capable of.
Why Somerset Needs You
Across Somerset – from Yeovil to Taunton, Bridgwater to Frome – schools and families are searching for tutors who understand SEN, care deeply, and can adapt their approach to meet every child’s unique challenges.
We’re seeing more referrals from local authorities and schools than ever before. The need is growing – and so is the opportunity to make a real, lasting impact.
As an SEN Tutor in Somerset, You’ll:
- Deliver meaningful 1:1 sessions in Maths, English, Science and other extra-curricular activities.
- Empower students who’ve faced exclusion, trauma, or long-term school absence.
