The right tutor becomes a key part of your child's support network. They take the time to understand your child as an individual – their strengths, their anxieties, and the specific goals outlined in their EHCP. This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach; it's a genuine partnership built on trust and a shared goal: seeing your child feel capable and happy in their learning environment. Imagine a lesson that prepares your child for the week ahead. Perhaps they'll role-play a conversation they're nervous about, break down a complex homework task into manageable steps, or develop a new strategy for handling a noisy corridor. Each online session is a safe space to build practical skills that make a real difference to their school day, turning anxiety into a sense of achievement. Because tutoring happens online, you can connect your child in saint-helens with a specialist from anywhere in the UK.

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic Autism Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

When I lived in Spain,I studied English privately for 8 years ,however ,when I first arrived to Hastings I couldn't hold a conversation in English for more than 2 minutesso I started going to college in order to be able to express myself.My teachers in Spain had always been Spanish and that didn’t help my accent or my confidence as a native tutor would’ve helped (at least that’s how I felt )
I have been an au pair ,a waitress, a team leader and a support worker....

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 starting a large school like Rainhill High. Can an online tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a common concern we help with. A specialist tutor can work with your child on practical strategies for navigating a larger school, from managing sensory overload in busy corridors to building social communication skills. They provide a consistent, calm space to prepare for the challenges, which can make a huge difference to their confidence.
How can tutoring support my child's EHCP goals within a busy mainstream school?
Our tutors can act as a vital bridge. They can work directly with the goals in your child's Education, Health and Care Plan, breaking them down into practical, achievable steps. By reinforcing these strategies one-to-one, they help ensure the support doesn't get diluted and that your child feels equipped to use their techniques at school.
We hope our child can progress to Carmel College. Can a tutor help with that long-term goal?
Yes, we believe in planning for brighter futures. A tutor can help build the academic skills and independent learning habits needed for further education. More importantly, they foster the self-belief and resilience required to take that next big step, ensuring your child feels prepared and excited for what's ahead.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place via video call in our purpose-built online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard. It allows your child to learn from a specialist tutor anywhere in the UK, all from the comfort and familiarity of your home in saint-helens. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors qualified to work with autistic children?
Many of our tutors have specific qualifications and extensive experience in SEN, including working with autistic learners. You can view each tutor's full profile, including their experience, qualifications, and approach, to find the perfect person who understands your child's unique way of seeing the world. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure of their quality.
What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
Finding the right relationship is the most important thing. We have a first lesson guarantee to ensure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Sessions are typically one hour long. The frequency is completely up to you and what best suits your child's needs and your family's schedule. Many families start with one session a week and adjust from there. You can discuss the ideal plan directly with your chosen tutor.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for an autistic child?
For many autistic children, online tutoring is actually more effective. Learning from a familiar, low-demand home environment can reduce anxiety and sensory stress, allowing them to focus better. It also provides access to a much wider range of SEN specialists than might be available locally in saint-helens.
My child also struggles with maths. Can we find a tutor who covers both?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are skilled across multiple areas. You can use our search filters to find a tutor with experience in both Autism support and specific academic subjects like maths or English. This can provide a wonderfully integrated learning experience for your child.
How much does Autism tutoring cost?
The price varies as our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits within your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How do you ensure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, which includes an identity check and an enhanced DBS background check. We are committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for every student.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Yes! We believe learning is about more than just the curriculum. We have tutors who specialise in a huge range of skills and hobbies, from coding and digital art to music and creative writing. It's a fantastic way to build confidence by exploring something your child is passionate about.
