Elite Tutors Sussex is a SENCO and teacher-led agency supporting children and young people across Sussex and the surrounding areas. We specialise in working with children whose needs are not fully met in a mainstream classroom, and SEND support is at the heart of everything we do.

Our team includes qualified teachers, specialist SEND tutors, trained teaching assistants, education mentors, chaperones and a team of experienced SENCOs who offer EHCP coordination. Between them, they bring expertise across a wide range of needs, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, PDA, anxiety and complex learning profiles.

Every professional we recommend holds an Enhanced DBS check with a Children's Barred List search as standard.
We understand that for many children, trust has to come before teaching. Sessions are tailored entirely to the individual — from low-demand, interest-led approaches that gently rebuild a child's relationship with learning, through to structured, academically focused programmes with clear goals. Our professionals are skilled at reading the child in front of them and adjusting their approach as needs evolve.
We support children in a range of settings, including alongside school, during periods of reduced attendance, in home education, and for families navigating EHCPs.

If your child needs support that goes beyond what school can currently provide, we are here to help you find the right person.

Our users say

We’ve had the most wonderful experience with Elite Tutors. Kae matched our son with an incredible dyslexia specialist who has been absolutely transformative for him. Not only has the Nicky’s tutoring been exceptional, but we’ve also been given so much invaluable advice on how to support him at home — something we’re truly grateful for.

Since starting sessions, we’ve seen his confidence grow in ways we didn’t expect. Before his dyslexia diagnosis earlier this year, his self-esteem had really taken a knock, but now he’s so much more sure of himself. His teachers have even commented on how confident he is in class, including putting his hand up more and even standing to read — something he would never have done before.

His reading confidence has improved hugely, and the biggest milestone for us is that he has started reading independently for pleasure. Seeing him pick up a book on his own is something we honestly weren’t sure would happen this soon.

We cannot recommend Elite Tutors highly enough. Their expertise, care, and genuine understanding of children with dyslexia have made such a positive difference to our son and our whole family.
(Kate, Hove)

Elite Tutors are my right hand for education because my child is on an EOTAS package through my LA. She selects suitable tutors for my approval. He is excelling with the Elite team. Most recently, Catherine took him to a top grade in GCSE biology a year early - no mean feat given he'd missed three years of school through illness. Hopes are high for the 2026 GCSE exams.
Throughout, I have found the team to be approachable, knowledgeable, and professional. Highly recommend

"I found Elite Tutors Sussex to be exceptional for me and have no problems recommending them, in fact, I thoroughly recommend them. They were detailed in understanding my child's needs and after a while placed me with an excellent tutor who was professional, kind and very qualified. I also loved their detailed vetting process of tutors. If you're apprehensive in finding a quality vetted tutor then look no further. Thank you Elite Tutors Sussex!"
