The One-to-One Support Your Child Deserves
Imagine a tutor who doesn't just teach a subject, but takes the time to understand how your child processes information. Someone who recognises when a break is needed, celebrates their deep focus on a favourite topic, and makes learning feel safe and engaging. It’s a partnership built on trust, where your child feels seen for who they are and what they can achieve. A lesson might focus on breaking down a big project into manageable steps to avoid overwhelm, or using visual aids to explain abstract concepts. It could involve practising social scripts for classroom interactions or developing coping strategies for exam stress. Every session is designed around your child's specific needs, helping them build confidence one small victory at a time. And this all happens from the comfort of home. No stressful journeys across Exeter after a long school day. Your child learns in their own familiar, calm space. By connecting online, you're not limited to tutors nearby; you get access to the very best specialists from across the UK who have real experience supporting autistic learners.

Autism Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Autism Confused about Maths? :-/ I can make it clear :-)
I hope from my picture you can see my sessions are very different from the traditional classroom. I am a qualified Maths teacher with a Bachelor's in Engineering and Mathematics.But however many qualifications I have the lesson is fundamentally about you and your way of learning and not me. Studies have shown that playing and exploring as a form of learning is much more effective than repetition and memorising alone.Through years of working with students, I've found this to be true.The more the student is engaged and involved in the lesson the more they learn.My goal is to make maths and our session...

Rosie has been really patient with our little one. He is learning to read and practicing phonics, he is also in the autism spectrum what makes the lessons more challenging. She has been able to help him to engage in the lessons but also understands when he is not in his best mood, thanks Rosie

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is anxious about the transition to a large place like Exeter College. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. A tutor can work with your child on strategies for navigating larger environments, managing their timetable, and self-advocacy skills. They can build their confidence and academic toolkit so they feel prepared and less overwhelmed by the change.
Our secondary school in Exeter is supportive but stretched. How does tutoring fit in?
We see tutoring as a partnership with school. A tutor provides the focused, one-to-one time that's often difficult in a busy classroom. They can reinforce what's being taught at school, but in a way that's tailored to your child's specific learning style and sensory needs, filling in any gaps.
Are the tutors familiar with the Devon educational system, like the EHCP process?
Many of our tutors have extensive experience working within the UK education system and understand processes like EHCPs. Whilst they aren't advocates, they can provide academic and emotional support that complements the goals in your child's plan, helping them meet targets and build skills.
How does online tutoring work for an autistic child who might struggle with screen time?
It's a great question. Online lessons can actually be less overwhelming than in-person sessions. Tutors use interactive tools, allow for movement breaks, and can tailor the session length and pace to your child's needs. Learning from their own safe space can reduce social anxiety and sensory overload, allowing them to focus better.
What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
Finding the right connection is the most important thing. We understand that. If the first session isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find someone your child feels comfortable with.
Is it just for academic subjects, or can you help with life skills?
We can help with both! Alongside core subjects like Maths and English, many tutors specialise in building executive functioning skills, social communication, emotional regulation, and even coding or creative arts. It's about supporting your child as a whole person.
Are your tutors qualified to support autistic learners?
Yes. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, SENCOs, or have specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting autistic students. You can read about their background and approach on their detailed profiles to find the right expert for your child. We also background check every tutor.
How do I find the right tutor for my child's specific interests and needs?
Our platform makes it easy. You can filter tutors by their specialisms and read detailed bios about their experience and teaching style. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's needs and see if they're a good match before booking.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
Incredibly flexible. That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange sessions for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's routine, fitting learning around school, clubs, and appointments without any travel stress.
Can tutoring help my child with their confidence, not just their schoolwork?
This is at the heart of what we do. When a child feels understood and starts to see they *can* make progress, their self-esteem grows immensely. The consistent encouragement from a one-to-one tutor often has a bigger impact on their confidence than on their grades, though both usually improve.
How much do online Autism tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
Are your tutors qualified to support autistic learners?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a camera, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our tutors use our purpose-built online classroom with an interactive whiteboard, making lessons engaging and easy to access.
