Supporting Neurodiverse

Learners in Maths

At Taylored Maths Tuition I specialise in supporting neurodiverse learners

—students who think and learn differently.

Whether your child has ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia,

or another learning difference, my approach is patient,

flexible, and student-centered.

I am currently training to be an ADHD coach to

deepen my understanding

and needs of my students.

Why Neurodiverse-Friendly Tutoring Matters

Traditional classroom settings often don’t accommodate the unique learning styles of neurodiverse students. My tutoring is designed to:
- Reduce anxiety around maths
- Build confidence through success
- Encourage students to work with their strengths

My Approach

1. Individualised Learning Plans

No two students are the same. I customise every session to your child’s:
- Learning style
- Attention span
- Sensory needs
- Areas of strength and struggle

2. Multi-Sensory Teaching

I use a variety of tools and methods such as:
- Visual aids (diagrams, graphs, colour coding)
- Physical manipulatives (blocks, number lines)
- Verbal processing and storytelling
- Movement breaks or fidget-friendly options (if sessions are in-person)

3. Flexible Structure & Pacing

Neurodiverse students often benefit from:
- Shorter tasks and breaks
- Repetition with variety
- Flexible scheduling for focus-friendly times

4. Clear, Compassionate Communication

- I check in regularly to ensure understanding
- I explain concepts in simple, concrete language
- I encourage questions and curiosity—no fear of being “wrong”

5. Parent Partnership

I maintain regular communication with families to:
- Share progress
- Adapt strategies
- Offer suggestions for supporting learning at home

“My son has ADHD and struggled with maths in school. Since starting tutoring with Hayley, he actually looks forward to his sessions. He’s more confident and doesn’t shut down when he sees a problem anymore.” — Parent of Year 8 Student

"Hayley really gets how my daughter learns. Her autism doesn’t get in the way anymore—it’s like a superpower in the right environment.” — Parent of Year 6 Student

“We’ve worked with other tutors, but no one has had the patience and understanding Hayley shows. It’s made a huge difference.” — Parent of GCSE Student with Dyslexia

Yes. I have worked with students with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyscalculia, anxiety, and more. I tailor my approach to each student's needs.
