Our specialist SEND tutoring service is specifically designed to support autistic children and young people through personalised, autism-affirming educational support. We understand that every autistic learner has unique sensory needs, communication preferences, and learning styles, and we adapt our approach accordingly.

Key autism-specific adaptations include:

  • Structured, predictable learning sessions with clear visual timetables and expectations
  • Sensory-conscious learning environments with adjustable lighting, minimal background noise, and comfortable seating options
  • Communication adaptations including visual supports, written instructions, and processing time as needed
  • Special interest-led learning where we incorporate each student's specific interests into lesson content
  • Regular movement breaks and sensory regulation opportunities
  • Flexible session timing and pacing based on individual energy levels and processing needs

Our qualified SEND specialists have extensive experience working with autistic learners and understand the importance of:

  • Building routine and predictability into sessions
  • Providing clear, concrete instructions
  • Using literal language and avoiding idioms
  • Supporting executive functioning through structured organisation tools
  • Breaking tasks into manageable chunks
  • Creating low-demand environments that reduce anxiety

We offer comprehensive support including:

  • Academic tutoring aligned with individual learning styles
  • EHCP target support and progress tracking
  • Development of self-advocacy skills
  • Building confidence through strengths-based approaches
  • Regular detailed progress reports for families
  • Flexible delivery options (online or in-person) to accommodate sensory and accessibility needs
