Keep the mathematics meaningful

Explain the reasoning

Go beyond following an example. Discuss the conditions under which a method works and test an edge case when useful.

Connect representations

Explore how an equation, graph and verbal description express the same relationship. Choose the representation that clarifies this particular problem.

Make independence a shared goal

Agree which prompts help, then review when to reduce them. Keep the learner involved in decisions about challenge and pace.

Autistic learners do not share one learning style

A preference for structure or a particular explanation should be discussed with the learner. It should not be inferred from the diagnosis. A free 15-minute introduction can help you assess communication and fit.

Frequently asked questions

Can lessons include challenging extension questions?

Yes, where appropriate to your goals and the tutor’s expertise. Discuss both the level of challenge and any changes that make the work easier to access.

How can I prepare for the first conversation?

Send your exam board, the topic you want help with and any communication preferences you want the tutor to know. A sample question can make the discussion easier.

Are these autism specialists?

They are tutors who report autism experience. Individual qualifications and training vary. Ask about relevant experience with learners of your age and with A Level Maths.
