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 goes to a school in Workington. Can a tutor help them with their specific schoolwork?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can tailor their support to align with the curriculum at your child's school, whether it's Workington Academy, St Joseph's, or another local school. They can help your child grasp topics covered in class and stay on top of their homework.
We're concerned about the support outlined in my child's EHCP. Can a tutor help work towards those goals?
Yes. Many of our specialist tutors have experience working with EHCPs. You can discuss your child's specific targets with a tutor to ensure their sessions are focused on reinforcing those goals and helping your child meet their objectives.
How do I choose the right Autism tutor for my child?
The best way is to look at their profile videos, read their bios, and check reviews from other parents. Look for tutors who mention specific experience relevant to your child's needs and age group. You can also message them for free to discuss your child's situation before you book.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand how important the right connection is. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does online tutoring work for a child with autism?
Many children find learning online from the comfort of their own home less stressful. Our interactive online classroom has tools like a whiteboard that can make learning more engaging. It provides a consistent, familiar environment for every session.
Is this just for academic help, or can a tutor also support my child with social skills?
It’s for both. Our specialist tutors can help with academic subjects, but many also focus on developing crucial life skills, such as social communication, emotional regulation, and executive functioning, depending on what your child needs most.
Are your tutors qualified to support children with autism?
Many of our tutors are specialists with qualifications and extensive experience in supporting autistic children. We rigorously vet all tutors, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants. You can view each tutor's specific experience and qualifications on their profile.
How much does an Autism tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can use the search filters on our website to easily find a highly-rated tutor who fits within your family's budget.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where there's no fear of getting things wrong. By celebrating small wins and tailoring lessons to their interests, a tutor can help your child see their own progress and feel much more confident in their abilities.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Sessions are usually 60 minutes long, but you can arrange shorter or longer lessons if that works better for your child's concentration and needs. It's completely flexible and something you can agree on with your chosen tutor.
How often should my child have lessons?
This is entirely up to you and what you feel your child needs. Most families start with one session a week to build a routine, but you can arrange lessons as frequently as you like. You can discuss the best approach with your tutor.
What makes Tutorful a trusted choice for parents?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students and to be rated 4.6/5 stars from over 4,100 reviews. We are committed to helping you find the best support, which is why we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join our platform.
