Tutor for highly functioning Austic boy

JoanneC

Hello, 

I wonder if anyone could suggest a tutor for maths and English for my Autistic Son?

I haven’t pursued a tutor until now as I was waiting for the diagnosis to come back.

We are based around the Epping forest area in Essex.

TIA

  • Sorry to revive a months-old thread, but I was on the hunt for similar info. I'm also a tutor, and I wanted to offer some advice for finding a tutor for your son who has Autism. One thing I've found helpful when working with autistic kids is being upfront about the diagnosis during the pre-getting-to-know phase with potential tutors. It's also important to communicate any specific needs your son may have so that the tutor can be better prepared. For example, if your son struggles with verbal communication, ask the tutor how they plan to deal with that. Another thing to consider is whether to go with an agency or a private tutor. Both have pros and cons, but the most important thing is finding a tutor your son likes and feels comfortable with. Lastly, I wanted to mention that I recently discovered an English language learning game on ne-lite.com that might be helpful for your son.
