Specialised Dyslexia Tuition
20 per cent of children are Dyslexic. This means that in every classroom, around 6 children are finding it difficult to read, write or spell. Learners with Dyslexia may also have difficulties with setting out their work neatly; remembering their teacher's instructions; packing their school bag every day or understanding how to read the time on a traditional clock.
Dyslexic children are often creative learners with an excellent grasp of the big picture and innovative problem solvers. They don't have a learning disability- they have a learning difference...
Or to put it another way, people with Dyslexia are just wired differently!

How can I help?
Dyslexic children learn better if they have a structured program which addresses their needs. In the first few lessons, I will assess which areas of reading, writing and spelling your child finds difficult. This enables me to create a personalised plan for your child, taking into account the areas of the curriculum that they really enjoy too so that learning is fun and multi-sensory! I also teach children how to manage their Dyslexia using tools such as spellcheck and dictation apps- so that their creative ideas can flow freely.

Currently, I mainly teach children who are in Primary School. Every week, we will address a new sound or spelling rule and then practise reading, spelling and writing it using a variety of games and activities. I am happy to provide feedback at the end of each lesson for a few minutes. This will be included within your hour's tuition time.

I welcome a collaborative approach with your child's class teacher and am happy to share both long and short term goals with them.
