Autism-Aware English Tuition

Calm, structured lessons for Didsbury, Heaton Moor, Cheadle Hulme and beyond…

With specialist SEN training and decades of classroom experience, Sophie tailors every lesson to recognised autism-friendly best practice. Her predictable routines and visual supports turn English into a safe space for autistic learners, building literacy skills without surprise pressures or sensory overload.

How Sophie adapts each session

• Consistent structure: quick recap, clear agenda, timings for every task.

• Small, manageable chunks: read a paragraph then discuss, plan one sentence at a time.

• Interest-led tasks: weave favourite topics, trains, gaming or animals into reading and writing.

• Visual supports: story mountains, quote grids, colour-coded highlighters, mind maps.

• Positive, strengths-based feedback: focus on unique insights and progress from last session.

Sophie’s calm approach, examiner knowledge and thirty years of teaching experience give autistic students the confidence to progress from Year 5 through GCSE.
