Find the Right Support, with Confidence 

with TSK Academy

Our Matching Service for Families 

Finding the right tutor, support worker, or therapist can feel overwhelming. TSK Academy’s matching service is designed to help families connect with trusted, skilled professionals who understand neurodivergent needs — without long waiting lists, guesswork, or endless searching. 

Our matching process is personalised, transparent, and grounded in neuro-affirmative practice. 

How It Works 

1. Submit an Expression of Interest 

You complete a short form outlining your support needs, location, preferences, and availability. 

2. We Review Your Needs 

Our team identifies suitable professionals within our network who match your criteria. 

3. We Arrange Introductions 

You’ll receive details of one or more professionals, and an introduction is facilitated where appropriate. 

4. You Choose the Right Fit 

Once both sides agree, you can begin working together directly. 

Our goal is to make sure you are connected with someone who truly understands and can meet your family’s needs. 

Matching Fee 

To provide a personalised, high-quality matching process, we charge a once-off Matching Fee:  €85 per family 

This fee covers: 

A review of your needs and preferences 

Identification of suitable professionals 

Contact, communication, and scheduling support 

A facilitated introduction 

Rematching if the first match is not the right fit (within reasonable limits) 

The fee is paid after we have reviewed your information and confirmed that suitable professionals are available. 

There are no additional charges from TSK Academy — all ongoing arrangements are between you and the professional directly. 

What You Can Expect
