ASEND tuition supports pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) who are temporarily out of school or facing challenges in finding a suitable school placement in Dudley. We are currently in need of a dedicated teacher or tutor with experience in supporting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

What Makes ASEND Tuition Unique:

• We are searching for inspiring tutors to assist children and young individuals with SEND in Dudley, catering to those who are unable to attend school due to various reasons such as medical conditions, mental health concerns, or lack of appropriate school options. Our focus is on preparing these individuals for a successful return to mainstream or special education settings, or helping them continue their educational journey.
• We provide tailored tutoring sessions to pupils of all ages, conducted face-to-face during school hours and in different environments like homes, schools, and community centers. Our approach is entirely pupil-centered, addressing areas like early learning, academic progress, emotional support, and life skills development. We are looking for diverse tutors to meet the specific needs of our pupils and ensure positive advancement.
• We put significant effort into matching each tutor with pupils who can benefit the most from their expertise, emphasizing the importance of fostering connections and facilitating progress.

About the Student:

Our student is a 14-year-old girl on the Autism spectrum, also diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Despite facing challenges, she is a friendly, inquisitive teenager who craves positive relationships with adults. However, she has encountered significant adversity and struggles to manage her emotions, sometimes resulting in self-harming behavior. To help her navigate these difficulties, she needs a warm, nurturing, and enjoyable learning environment to begin forming meaningful connections.

During individual sessions, she has shown enthusiasm, showcasing her skills and interests, displaying a particular fondness for games, teaching, and learning Spanish. Additionally, she is sensitive and benefits from gradual challenges accompanied by ample encouragement. Her interests span across creative arts, dance, gymnastics, performing arts, history, and reading, with music serving as a source of joy in her life. An ideal tutor for her would be creative, engaging, and supportive in fostering her skills and boosting her confidence for a brighter future.

Our pupil requires a knowledgeable tutor familiar with ASD and trauma-informed approaches like the 'PACE' model—Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy. Understanding the impact of her diagnoses on communication, emotional regulation, and educational engagement is crucial, acknowledging that behavior serves as a form of expression. Above all, the tutor should be enthusiastic, playful, and willing to engage in activities like play, dance, and singing.
