Our Mission
At SEN Manny Mentor, we meet every young person where they are and help them move forward in a way that truly fits them.
This work is built on trust and connection. Progress often happens in small, careful steps, especially for children who have experienced anxiety, burnout, trauma, school refusal, or long periods of feeling misunderstood. Those steps matter, not just for the child, but for the whole family.
We focus on restoring a sense of safety and possibility before pushing outcomes.
Our one-to-one SEN mentoring and tutoring is shaped around the individual. Sessions adapt to interests, pace, emotional readiness, and how each young person responds to demand. Confidence, communication, independence, and regulation develop gradually, without pressure.
Over time, many young people begin to re-engage with learning and feel more settled in themselves and in everyday life.
For parents, we hold the complexity. We take responsibility for the planning, adapting, and ongoing reflection this work requires, so families do not have to navigate it alone.
Who We Support
We support SEN and neurodivergent young people aged 9 to 19, including those educated through EOTAS, home education, alternative provision, or those still connected to school but struggling to cope within it.
