Many autistic learners are highly capable, insightful, and verbally articulate — yet struggle with written English in mainstream settings.

​

Often this isn’t about ability.
It’s about environment.

​

Busy classrooms, unclear instructions, time pressure, and unpredictable teaching approaches can create cognitive and sensory overload. Many learners mask throughout the school day and return home exhausted, making writing tasks feel impossible.

​

At Let’s Go Learning, we provide structured, low-anxiety English tuition designed specifically for autistic learners aged 7–18.

​

Common Barriers in English

Autistic learners may experience:

• Overwhelm when faced with unstructured writing tasks

• Difficulty translating verbal ideas into written form

• Anxiety around “getting it wrong”

• Processing delays under time pressure

• Sensory fatigue from the school day

• Shutdown or freezing during extended writing

These are not deficits. They are signs that the learning environment needs to adapt.

​

Our Structured Approach

We provide:

✔ Predictable lesson routines
✔ Clear models and worked examples
✔ Step-by-step scaffolding for writing
✔ Reduced cognitive load
✔ Processing time without pressure
✔ Explicit instruction in essay structure

Lessons are calm, structured, and paced carefully to build confidence without overwhelm.

​

Supporting GCSE Success

For autistic learners preparing for GCSE English, we:

• Break exam questions into manageable components

• Teach explicit paragraph structures

• Provide planning frameworks

• Practise exam timing gradually

• Build familiarity to reduce uncertainty

Confidence grows when expectations are clear.

​

The Outcome

Autistic learners in our provision move from:

“I can’t do this.” to “I know how to start.”

That shift changes everything.
