Learning support
SEN support in Bali: special needs tutoring
One-to-one SEN tutoring in Bali for children who need structure beyond the classroom: ADHD, dyslexia, autism and related learning differences, at your villa or online. Private Tutoring Bali has placed educators with Bali families since 2020.
Who this service is for
SEN support in Bali is for parents whose child needs teaching that is additional to, or different from, what a mainstream lesson usually offers. The school may already have a support plan. You may be waiting for assessment. Or you may simply recognise that homework evenings and classwork are not matching what you know your child can do.
Most children we see attend Bali international schools on IB, Cambridge, UK, US or Australian programmes. Some arrive mid-year after a move. Ages run from 4 to 17. Sessions are at your home or villa, or online, with the same tutor each week wherever possible.
What learning-support briefs usually cover
Families rarely bring a single difficulty. A child who reads slowly may also lose materials; a child who cannot start a task may also avoid writing. We work from the week as it is lived: school demands, villa routine, and the moments where learning stalls.
- Attention, focus and the executive skills of planning, starting and finishing
- Reading, spelling and written expression, including dyslexia
- Number sense and maths, including dyscalculia
- Communication and classroom participation for autistic learners
- Sensory or physical needs that change how schoolwork is accessed
How a placement is set up
- Discovery call: a complimentary 30-minute WhatsApp conversation covering your child, school, curriculum, any diagnosis or support plan, and what a workable week would look like.
- Written brief: strengths, difficulties, strategies that already help, and anything a tutor should avoid — agreed with you before anyone is proposed.
- Profile: we reply within one working day, and we confirm the expected time for your tutor profile after the discovery call. You read it before the first session.
- Visible progress: goals in writing, a short note after each session, and a fuller summary every four weeks. If progress stalls, we say so and change the plan or the tutor.
How sessions are taught
SEN tutoring here is structured teaching, not a soft substitute for school. The hour opens the same way each week. Instructions are short and written down as well as spoken. Tasks are broken into steps a child can finish, because completion is what rebuilds confidence.
Pace, materials and setting flex to the learner: a visual timetable when the shape of the hour matters, movement breaks when sitting still blocks thinking, multi-sensory methods when listening alone is not enough.
With your permission, the tutor reads the school support plan and, where the school agrees, speaks with the class teacher or SENCo so villa strategies and classroom strategies do not pull apart.

What tutoring does not replace
We are tutors, not clinicians — we do not diagnose or treat. Tutoring builds skills, structure and honest observation; it is never a substitute for assessment by an educational psychologist, paediatrician, speech and language therapist or occupational therapist.
If assessment would serve your child better than more sessions, we say so. We do not promise grades or clinical outcomes. What we offer is an educator whose completed checks are set out in writing, a plan in writing, and clear reporting on how the week is going.
A clear boundary: Tutoring complements clinical care. For diagnosis or therapy, we signpost families to qualified professionals.
Rates for learning support
Learning-support sessions use the published rate card: Standard IDR 500,000 per hour for children, Advanced IDR 800,000 per hour for companies, and Master IDR 1,000,000 per hour for specialist teaching. The tier follows the brief, not the diagnosis, and is confirmed in writing before the first session. Your written quote confirms travel arrangements and any additional cost for your address. If the first session is not right, tell us within 48 hours and we refund that session in full.
Frequently asked questions
My child has no diagnosis. Can we still ask for learning support?
Many placements begin without a label. We work from how your child learns; if formal assessment looks more useful than tutoring, we will say so. Related briefs sit on ADHD support and dyslexia support.
Do your tutors diagnose ADHD, dyslexia or autism?
Diagnosis belongs with qualified professionals such as educational psychologists and paediatricians. Tutors teach, observe and, where useful, suggest that a family seek assessment.
Will the tutor follow our school’s support plan?
Where you share the plan, the tutor reads it. With your permission and the school’s agreement, they coordinate with the teacher or SENCo so strategies stay consistent.
Where do sessions take place?
At your home or villa, or online. Your written quote confirms travel arrangements and any additional cost for your address. Area pages such as Canggu list coverage.
Can villa tutoring sit alongside a shadow teacher?
Home sessions can reinforce the same strategies used in class. Shadow-teacher placements are a separate in-school service when the school agrees. See shadow teacher Bali.
How soon should we expect to see a change?
Calmer homework routines often appear within a few weeks; curriculum catch-up takes longer and depends on the gap. Goals are written; if progress stalls, we change the plan or the tutor.
What if the tutor is not the right fit?
Tell us and we change the plan or the tutor. First-session terms sit in the refund policy: notify us within 48 hours if that session was not right.
Where can I see SEN tutoring rates?
The full rate card, packages and terms are on the pricing guide. Your package rate is confirmed in writing before the first session.
