Overview

Tutor for 13-Year-Old Boy with Autism

We are seeking a kind, patient, and experienced tutor to join a home-based educational program for a 13-year-old boy with autism.

The student

He is a gentle, non-aggressive child with a big smile. He can read and write and is working at around a KS2 level, though he still enjoys activities that reflect his younger, playful side. He has auditory processing difficulties and learns best through visual, structured, and engaging methods.

• Fluency in clear spoken and written English (required).
• Enthusiasm, kindness, and professionalism.
• A genuine passion for supporting children with autism and a willingness to learn effective, evidence-based teaching approaches.
• Licence/Certification: DBS (preferred).
