SPECIALIST TUTORS
Autism
Inspiring academic success while fostering a love of learning
At Witherow Brooke, we source specialist educators that provide structured, patient, and nurturing educational support for students on the autism spectrum.
Our goal is to create a calm, structured, and compassionate learning environment, tailored to each student’s unique strengths, sensitivities, and pace of learning, whether a family is seeking a full specialist homeschooling programme, long-term academic support alongside school, or flexible hourly tuition.
We understand that progress grows from predictability, reassurance, and trust. At Witherow Brooke, we provide specialist tutoring support for children on the autism spectrum, delivered by carefully selected tutors who combine deep neurodiversity insight with evidence-based teaching. Their role is to help each learner develop skills with confidence and experience genuine, meaningful achievement.
Unlike broad or generic tutoring services, we ensure our autism-focused tutors create calm, structured learning environments tailored to each child’s needs. With steady encouragement and personalised strategies, every student is supported to grow both academically and personally, at a pace that feels comfortable, consistent, and truly their own.
What Is Autism Tutoring?
Autism tutoring is a highly personalised form of educational support, carefully designed to meet the unique learning needs of each student on the autism spectrum. Unlike traditional tutoring, which often follows a one-size-fits-all approach, autism tutoring at Witherow Brooke is built around your child's individual sensory preferences, communication style, and processing pace. We don’t offer a standardised curriculum, we offer a custom-fit learning experience, carefully crafted to nurture your child’s strengths and support their areas of growth.
Our approach begins with a thorough consultation, during which we gain a deep understanding of your child’s personality, goals, and learning preferences. From there, we match them with a tutor who is not only an expert in ASD but also has the specific skills, temperament, and teaching style best suited to your child’s needs. This bespoke pairing ensures that every session feels comfortable, engaging, and meaningful.
Our tutors work to create a calm, predictable learning environment, adapting their methods to provide clarity and structure while reducing anxiety. Whether your child requires support for online homeschooling for autism, additional help alongside mainstream education, or assistance during transitional stages, our tutors build flexible, responsive lesson plans that align with your child’s natural rhythms and pace.

Our goal is to ensure each child transitions confidently, whether into higher education,
a new school, an alternative curriculum, or more advanced tuition.
How a Specialised Approach Benefits Learners with ASD
Every child on the autism spectrum learns differently. For this reason, a conventional tutoring model, however well intentioned, rarely provides the depth of understanding or the finely tuned environment required for meaningful progress. At Witherow Brooke, we identify tutors who are carefully trained in autism-specific educational methods, enabling them to provide calm, responsive support, adapted to each student’s unique needs.
Our educators adjust the pace, teaching style, materials, and routines to match the way students with autism process information. This calm, predictable structure supports focus, reduces anxiety, and helps students feel secure, creating the conditions in which confidence and meaningful academic progress can develop.
We take care to pair each family with a private tutor whose approach to teaching students with ASD complements the child’s personality, goals, and sensory preferences. This consultancy-led matching process ensures academic alignment as well as emotional connection, creating the right conditions for sustained progress.

Our Tutors & Approach
At Witherow Brooke, we understand that effective learning for autistic students relies on both pedagogical expertise and sensitive emotional attunement. For this reason, we work exclusively with experienced educators and specialists in Autism and Special Educational Needs, each selected for their professional rigour as well as their capacity to teach with empathy, patience, and insight.
Every placement begins with a detailed consultation, during which we develop a clear understanding of the student’s learning style, sensory profile, and individual goals. From here, the structure of support, whether a full bespoke homeschooling programme, sustained academic support alongside school, or flexible hourly tuition, is designed to reflect the students needs and the family’s broader educational aims.
Across all models, our tutors create calm, predictable learning environments built around clear routines, gentle pacing, and carefully structured progression. Lessons may incorporate visual supports, step-by-step instruction, and sensory-aware materials, ensuring that students with autism feel secure, understood, and able to engage at their own pace.
Regular communication with families ensures consistency between sessions and home life, and we at Witherow Brooke personally monitor progress to ensure long-term educational goals are being worked towards and surpassed, with tutors regularly fine-tuning their methods with our guidance and the family’s feedback.
At Witherow Brooke, we ensure your child receives thoughtful, informed, and compassionate education. Students with autism deserve a calm, structured path to success, one that recognises their individuality and nurtures both learning and self-belief.
Homeschooling for Students with Autism
For families seeking a fully personalised education, Witherow Brooke offers specialist homeschooling for students with autism. We place an exceptional, precisely matched educator with your family as a dedicated, in-home teacher who delivers a comprehensive homeschooling programme adapted to your child's attention patterns, learning style, and pace.
With a dedicated educator working exclusively with your child, lessons may be structured around natural focus cycles, incorporating movement breaks, hands-on activities, and personalised pacing that traditional settings cannot accommodate. Sessions may integrate core curriculum content with executive function skills like organisation and time management, supporting both academic achievement and personal growth.
For such roles, we always launch a bespoke global search to identify and headhunt the best candidates for the role. We are the only private tutoring agency to operate such a meticulous matching and vetting process, and we believe it is essential to find the right tutor for your child’s unique needs, your family’s objectives, values and way of living.

Academic Support for Students with Autism
For families seeking structured, long-term tutoring alongside traditional schooling, Witherow Brooke offers specialist Academic Support for students with autism. We conduct a bespoke global search to find an elite tutor who works with your child for a minimum of 10 hours per week, delivering personalised academic support adapted to their attention patterns, learning style, and focus cycles.
Your tutor will design a fully bespoke programme shaped around your child’s individual profile and your family’s educational aims. Where a family prefers to maintain school attendance, the tutor can build a curriculum that complements classroom learning while also strengthening key executive function skills such as organisation, time management, and self-regulation. Each session is paced and structured in accordance with the student’s natural motivation patterns, using adaptive strategies and gentle, positive reinforcement to support steady progress without ever overwhelming them.
As with our Homeschooling service, we also have a bespoke matching process for Academic Support roles, which involves headhunting and vetting the ideal candidates. With this meticulous matching process, we source tutors who combine deep subject expertise with specialist understanding of ASD-specialised support, ensuring they complement your child's personality and educational goals. Throughout the engagement, Witherow Brooke remains on hand to oversee progress, provide educational consultancy, and offer guidance on admissions strategies for top-tier schools and universities.
This transformative approach strengthens subject knowledge, builds confidence, and develops lifelong study habits, empowering students with autism to thrive both in school and beyond.
