About me

Hello, I’m Laura — an autistic tutor, qualified teacher, and home-educating parent of a

neurodivergent child. I specialise in supporting children who need a different approach to

genuine connection. My sessions are always flexible, interest-led, and paced around each

child’s needs — with a focus on creating safety, confidence, and joy in education again
