This paper aims to propose an interactive tutoring environment, using humanoid robots, to support children with autism disorders. Statistics indicate an increase in the use of robotics (more than 5000 robots) in more than 50 countries for teaching and learning purposes. Therefore, the process of choosing the modern teaching method that appropriates to the level of the student is a crucial matter. The proposed interactive teaching framework consists of three phases, including preparing the suitable class materials, programming the NAO robot, and evaluating the performance of the teaching methods on students' communication and academic skills. Besides, it implements a multiple-scenario approach to developing lesson plans and verifying student acknowledgments to lessons and updating the curriculum as necessary. The robot is used as an assistant tool to help students read stories, spell words, and correct students’ answers to a particular Math question. The results show that the use of robots as tutors help students learn difficult topics with their native language easily and enjoy educational gaming activities. It also helped teachers to create new lessons by browsing online teaching resources and adding them to the lesson plan based on the course profile schedule and students' feedback. Also, the participants indicated that using a tutor robot is offering no bias against students' gender, race, socioeconomic status, personal preference, or other considerations.
