Thank you for looking into dyslexia tutoring for your child. Below is some useful information about what to expect as you pursue support for their education. The tutoring process is thorough and aims to pinpoint your child’s strengths and the areas where they might require extra support. By recognizing these factors, I can develop effective strategies and interventions to improve your child’s learning journey.
The Benefits of Specialist Dyslexia Tutoring
Specialist Tutoring is £50 per hour, which includes: planning, resources and travel costs.
So that I am able to fully understand your child's needs, a short one-time teaching assessment is required prior to tutoring for £135.
Qualified Expertise
Level 5 dyslexia tutoring requires extensive training, ensuring tutors are highly qualified and knowledgeable in working with dyslexic learners. This expertise brings a deep understanding of dyslexia’s challenges and the most effective strategies for overcoming them, giving both the child and the parents confidence that they receive the best possible support.
Specialist tutoring offers tailored, scientifically supported strategies that help children with dyslexia build essential skills, increase confidence, and reach their academic potential. With the support of a skilled, empathetic tutor, your child can overcome challenges and learn to embrace their unique way of thinking and problem-solving.
Personalised Learning at the Child's Pace
The lessons are tailored entirely to your child’s unique needs, strengths, and learning style. I can adjust the pace, focus, and strategies to ensure your child feels supported and engaged throughout their learning journey. This personalised approach allows for a deeper understanding of concepts and reduces the pressure of keeping up with the class.
Evidence-Based Techniques
My tutoring involves using proven, structured, and effective approaches that are specifically designed for dyslexic learners. These techniques, such as multi-sensory teaching, are scientifically validated to improve reading, writing, spelling, and comprehension. The focus is on developing skills that transfer directly to the classroom and everyday life.
Boosts Confidence and Motivation
Children with dyslexia often face frustration and low self-esteem when they struggle to keep up with peers. Specialist teaching creates a supportive and positive environment where your child’s progress is celebrated, building their confidence. I provide consistent encouragement, which is key to keeping your child motivated and engaged in their learning.
Focused Attention and Immediate Feedback
In a 1:1 setting, your child receives the full attention of a qualified teacher. This allows for instant feedback and clarification, helping to address misconceptions or difficulties right away. I can pinpoint exactly where your child may be struggling and make adjustments to the lesson as needed, ensuring a more effective learning experience.
Develops Specific Skills and Strategies
My teaching style focuses not just on content knowledge but also on the skills and strategies necessary for your child to overcome challenges independently. This includes techniques for improving memory, organisation, and time management, essential tools for lifelong learning.
Creates a Safe, Non-Judgmental Space
Many children with dyslexia can feel anxious or embarrassed in a classroom setting. 1:1 tutoring offers a safe, non-judgmental space where your child can make mistakes and learn at their own pace. This reduces stress and encourages a more positive, growth-oriented mindset toward learning.
Long-Term Academic and Emotional Benefits
With consistent 1:1 support, children not only improve academically but also develop a greater sense of independence and resilience. Over time, they gain the tools to handle new challenges, leading to better overall performance in school and an improved outlook on learning in general.
Helps to Close the Achievement Gap
One of the key benefits of Level 5 dyslexia tutoring is its ability to help children make measurable progress in areas where they have previously struggled. By addressing gaps in reading, spelling, and writing, 1:1 dyslexia teaching helps to close the achievement gap, enabling the child to achieve at their full potential.
