Special Needs Tutoring That Makes Your Child Happier and More Confident at School

Every child with additional needs learns differently. Some need a visual schedule and a warning before each change, some need the work broken into tiny steps, and all of them need one patient adult who takes them as they are. Tutero's tutors adapt each lesson to your child, keep the same weekly routine, and follow the Australian curriculum so school gets easier too.

FAQ

Is tutoring good for children with special needs?
plusminus

Yes, when it is one-on-one, consistent and adjusted to your child. A classroom has one teacher for 25 children and a pace set by the group. A Tutero lesson has one patient tutor, a pace set by your child, and the same routine every week, so the skills school is racing past get taught properly and practised until they stick.

Can I use NDIS funding for tutoring?
plusminus

Not with Tutero. Tutero is not an NDIS provider and does not accept NDIS funding. Families pay privately, from A$65 an hour, after each lesson, with no contracts.

Do you tutor children with autism?
plusminus

Yes. Tutors keep lessons predictable: the same structure each week, clear and literal instructions, a warning before each change of task, and your child's interests used as a way in. Camera on or off, chat box or voice, shorter blocks with breaks: we set the lesson up the way your child is most comfortable, and adjust as we learn what works.

Do your tutors have experience with additional needs?
plusminus

We match on it. Your learning advisor asks about your child's diagnosis, supports and what has worked before, then hand-picks a tutor from the top 2% of applicants who has supported students with similar needs. Your child keeps that same tutor every week.

Can tutoring follow my child's Individual Learning Plan?
plusminus

Yes. Share your child's Individual Learning Plan, school adjustments or therapy goals with your learning advisor and the tutor will work to them, using the same strategies your child already knows from school.

Do we need a diagnosis to start?
plusminus

No. Many families come to Tutero while they are waiting for an assessment, or because their child is struggling without a formal diagnosis. Tell us what you see at home and at school and we will match accordingly.

How much does special needs tutoring cost with Tutero?
plusminus

Tutero's 1-on-1 special needs tutoring starts from A$65 an hour. You pay after each lesson, there are no contracts, and you can stop any time.

What if my child cannot sit through a full lesson?
plusminus

Tell us. Tutors break lessons into short tasks with breaks built in, use timers and movement where they help, and let your child know what is coming next, with the same routine every week.

Which learning differences and needs do you support?
plusminus

Most of them. Tutors support students with ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and autism, along with dysgraphia, language and processing differences, intellectual disability and anxiety about school. If your child's needs are not listed, ask: your learning advisor will tell you honestly whether we can help.

How do we get started?
plusminus

Getting started is simple. Submit your request and a learning advisor will call you within 24 hours to understand your child, their supports and what has worked before, then hand-pick a tutor with the patience and experience to suit. You pay after each lesson, there are no contracts, and you can stop any time.
