Personalised Tutoring for Dyslexia
I offer individual personalised tutoring for children from 6 to 18 years of age. This can be either with a formal diagnosis of dyslexia or with dyslexia type difficulties such as reading, spelling and/or writing issues.
This usually takes place in my home but I am happy to come to your home if there is a suitable quiet space.
​
The first session is an opportunity to get to know your child as well as an informal assessment to identify your child's exact needs. I use this information to plan a programme of specialised lessons tailored to your child's needs and interests. This is evaluated and updated throughout the programme.
​​
Each and every session is designed to be fun, engaging, lively and interactive where your child is the central focus of the lesson. As well as developing specific literacy skills such as phonological awareness (ability to recognise sounds in words) and spelling, I also teach students how to learn, which helps them gain greater independence.
Every activity is multisensory which means your child uses all their senses to learn, such as pictures, video, objects they can hold, move and manipulate, music and so on. As well as being the most effective way for chilldren to learn, they love this approach which keeps them motivated and keen to learn more!
