Supporting in schools and MATs

At AdaptEd SEND Tutoring Services, we work alongside schools in the North East to provide targeted, high-quality teaching for students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. Our expert tutors, all experienced SEND specialists, deliver structured, engaging, and evidence-based learning—helping students build confidence, regulate emotions, and access the curriculum.

We understand that SEMH students are capable of great success when provided with:
✅ Strong relationships that create trust and stability.
✅ Explicit instruction that removes ambiguity and builds mastery.
✅ Well-structured learning that balances challenge with support.
✅ Clear expectations and high challenge, delivered with care.
