Autism Tutoring

Children on the autism spectrum often see the world differently, and that’s not a weakness, it’s just a different way of learning. The right tutor support can help them use those strengths and build confidence in school. At APLUS America, our autism tutor services are designed for kids who benefit from structure, clarity, and learning at their own pace.

If you’re looking for autism tutoring, our online tutoring platform means location isn’t a limit. We bring expert help directly to your home, wherever you are in the US.

What children on the autism spectrum often experience

Every child is different, but many autistic learners face:

  • Difficulty with changes or unpredictability; need for routine and consistency.
  • Challenges with social communication, understanding expectations, or instructions.
  • Sensory sensitivities or distractions that make focusing harder.
  • Strong skills in some areas, but gaps or delays in others (reading comprehension, writing, or math reasoning).
  • Difficulty transitioning between tasks, staying organized, or keeping up when lessons move fast.

Step 1
Student Assessment

 Every child learns at a different pace and has different tutoring needs. We assess your child to identify what your child does and does not know, including the knowledge gaps holding your child back.

Step 2
Personalized Learning

 Every week we create a new online lesson plan especially for your child. Our lesson plans target the knowledge gaps, so that they are ready to forge ahead. No guessing what to do next, simply log in and do the lessons set especially for you.

Step 3
Tutor Support

 Our interactive lesson plans are supported by our tutor team. Just pick up the phone and speak to one of tutors to discuss your child’s progress. Kids can even speak to our tutors for extra help with any question on the program.

Step 4
Rewards & Motivation

 Earn points as you learn. Cash in points for real rewards such as iTunes vouchers. It is amazing how effective a little reward and recognition can be.

Why autism spectrum tutoring needs a different approach

A generic tutor may not adapt to how an autistic learner processes information or responds to instruction. What works for one child may frustrate another. APLUS America’s autism tutors are trained to recognize and respond to these differences, in ways that help the student feel safe, understood, and capable of real growth.

How APLUS America supports students on the autism spectrum

Here’s how our programs and tutors meet the needs of autistic children:

  • Personalized diagnostic assessment - to pinpoint strengths and gaps.
  • Structured weekly lesson plans that offer predictability and clarity about what’s coming next.
  • Visual supports and multisensory tools - diagrams, visual schedules, interactive lessons to match varied learning styles.
  • Live tutors available Monday-Thursday evenings to explain, guide, and encourage.
  • Flexible pacing - allowing extra practice in difficult areas.
  • Motivation systems - rewards and progress tracking to reinforce efforts, not just correctness.
  • Clear parent reports every week, so you know exactly what your child is doing well, and where help is needed.

Math & English Tutoring for Autistic Children

Aligning Math and English support creates clear routines for autistic learners, so strategies stick and carry over between subjects. Here are some of the concepts we cover in both core subjects:

Success Stories

Great resource A great program that helped my son, who has autism, close his learning gaps. He started at a grade 2 level and after 1 year on the program was at a grade 6 level. It also helped my daughter solidify her knowledge. They loved the incentives as well so it was great motivation for them to complete their lessons each week. The program was so flexible, as I was able to change the number of lessons from time to time if the kids were busy with other commitments. Highly recommend APLUS America. Adriana
A must have for all families! This is perfect for families that have children that are struggling at school, that want to extend their child further or if their child wants to perform better in class which will help them to have more self-esteem if it's lacking. I have one son who needed extension work with Math and was very bored at school doing math and he now has his passion back for Math! It has also benefited his English too. My younger son has Autism and this is great for him as he is a visual learner and the tutorial at the start really helps him to understand the concept. It was definitely not easy at the start with Hamish as he could only sit for around 10 minutes, but now he can do it for 1 hour which is amazing. The tutors have been extremely helpful to help us explain things to him that he wasn't understanding or grasping the concept. APLUS America has fit in our life well as we are very busy with after-school activities and we are able to do it before and after activities and know when the best time is for them to concentrate and are able to do it in the comfort of your own home. The boys also love working towards getting their rewards. Kristy R
Brilliant Product & Service We have been so amazed by the progress our child has made in just 12 weeks! Our son had many gaps in his learning in math and English and although in grade 8 at school was scoring at a grade 6 level - with the help of Om (his tutor) and regular sessions 4 - 5 times a week, our son has made massive gains - and best of all, his confidence, particularly in math has increased. His test scores at school have also reflected a huge improvement! Our son loves it as he is motivated by the promise of gift cards from APLUS America to spend on the things he enjoys. Our son has Autism and ADHD and this style of learning has been just what he needed!! Tracey K

Autism Tutoring FAQs

Q: How do you make sure tutoring is individualized for my child with autism?
A: Every autistic child learns differently. That’s why we never use a one-size-fits-all program. We begin with an assessment process to understand their individual learning needs. From there, we build a personalized weekly plan that adapts over time, focusing on what’s most relevant for your child. Lessons are structured with visual tools and flexible pacing to ensure they respect your child’s individual learning needs.

Q: How does tutoring encourage social inclusion and peer relationships?
A: Success in learning often translates into greater classroom confidence. When children feel capable in math and reading, they’re more willing to participate in group activities and connect with peers. Parents often notice their child’s self-esteem improve alongside academic progress, which supports inclusion at school and beyond.

Q: How do you coordinate with schools and other specialists?
A: We provide weekly parent reports so you always know what’s working and where support is needed. Many families share these reports with teachers to give them a clearer picture of their child’s progress.

Q: Do you advocate for children with autism and help fight stereotypes?
A: Yes. Our approach is built on recognizing every child’s abilities, not just their challenges. Tutors encourage students to take pride in their strengths and normalize differences in how people learn. We also equip parents with clear reports and insights they can use when advocating for accommodations in school.

Q: Is autism tutoring affordable, and is financial help available?
A: We know specialized services can be costly. APLUS America offers family friendly pricing with flexible plans that cost a fraction of private in person tutors. You also get weekly reports, tutor check ins, and live tutor support at no extra cost.

Q: How does tutoring fit into the bigger picture of long-term planning?
A: Academic progress is just one part of preparing for future independence. By building literacy, numeracy, organization, and self-confidence now, tutoring lays the foundation for later skills, from employment readiness to daily life management. Our step-by-step approach supports today’s learning while looking toward the future.

Q: How can parents cope with the stress of supporting an autistic child’s learning?
A: We know parents often feel isolated or overwhelmed. Our weekly updates give you clarity and reassurance, so you don’t have to guess where your child stands. We also emphasize that you don’t need to be the tutor, your role is encouragement, routine, and celebrating progress.
