How it works
Calm, practical coaching and tutoring for autistic students. We focus on communication and comprehension, organisation and educational transitions, attention and study skills, sensory needs, and supporting confidence. Tutors choose methods that fit each student; we interview every tutor and only work with people who are passionate about SEN, safeguarding-trained, Enhanced DBS-checked and insured. Sessions run online or in person across England and Wales.

How we help
Every student has strengths and barriers; we don’t use one-size-fits-all teaching styles. We hire experienced tutors and give them room to teach in their style. All tutors are interviewed before joining Sunbeam and share our commitment to compassionate, engaging teaching. Each has up-to-date safeguarding training, insurance and an Enhanced DBS certificate.
Our method
Focused 50-minute sessions with varied tasks, short breaks, and plenty of encouragement. Tutors are experts in their field and teach in their own style. We link strategies back to classwork so progress and confidence translates to school.
Assistive technology
Used only where helpful and selected to suit the student. Examples include visual schedules or first-then boards (digital or printed), read-aloud and dictation tools, screen readers, simple note templates, planners and timers, and noise-reduction options. We help students use tools independently at school and at home.
