A Neurodiverse Tutor for Neurodiverse Students – Part 3

Cultivating Flexibility and Personalised Learning

Every neurodiverse student is unique. 

Neurodivergence isn’t one-size-fits-all, and tutors who are neurodiverse themselves are often more aware of the importance of flexibility in learning. 

For some students, traditional methods of teaching don’t always align with how they process information. 

A neurodiverse tutor is equipped to explore alternative strategies and be more creative when it comes to instruction, incorporating different learning styles.

The Benefit for Learners

Neurodiverse tutors tend to be more adaptive and understanding when a student isn’t responding well to one approach. 

They may offer a range of options that better suit the learner’s brain and personal preferences. 

Whether it’s using visual aids, tactile activities, sound-based learning, or adjusting lesson pacing, neurodiverse tutors know the importance of customisation.

How It Helps Students:

• Tailored Lessons: Tutors design personalised learning pathways that make lessons more accessible.
• Adaptability: They can switch between learning styles to match what works best for the student on any given day.
• Safe Spaces: Students are given room to explore their strengths and growth areas in a supportive environment.

Key Takeaways:

• Neurodiverse tutors provide personalised and flexible learning experiences.
• Being adaptive allows tutors to cater to the student’s preferred learning style.
• Neurodiverse students benefit from having space to explore at their own pace.
