What we understand

Dyslexia affects how students process language and information

Parents often arrive here after noticing their child struggles with reading, spelling, writing, or organisation despite being bright and capable in other areas. We understand that dyslexia is a learning difference, not a lack of intelligence or effort.

Our specialist tutors work with diagnosed dyslexia and suspected learning differences. We focus on building confidence and skills using approaches that match how your child learns best, whether that's visual, hands-on, or auditory methods.

How we teach

Multi-sensory tutoring that engages different learning pathways

We use visual, auditory, and kinesthetic approaches to help students with dyslexia process and retain information. This might mean drawing diagrams for maths concepts, using coloured overlays for reading, or building models to understand science topics.

The goal is to make learning accessible and engaging rather than frustrating. We break complex ideas into smaller, manageable parts and use repetition and reinforcement to build confidence and mastery.

  • Visual aids, diagrams, and colour-coding for better understanding
  • Hands-on activities and manipulatives for concrete learning
  • Verbal explanations with repetition and reinforcement
  • Assistive technology like text-to-speech and speech-to-text tools
  • Structured approaches that reduce cognitive overload

Subjects we cover with dyslexia-friendly approaches

We adapt our teaching methods to work with dyslexia while maintaining academic rigour. Each subject uses multi-sensory techniques and assistive technology where helpful.

Tools that help

Assistive technology and tools for dyslexia support

We integrate appropriate technology to support learning without making it the focus. Text-to-speech for reading longer passages, speech-to-text for writing assignments, and organisational apps for planning and time management.

The technology supports your child's learning rather than replacing human teaching. We help students become confident using these tools for school, exams, and future study.

  • Text-to-speech software for reading comprehension and review
  • Speech-to-text tools for writing essays and assignments
  • Organisational apps and digital planners for time management
  • Colour overlays and fonts designed for dyslexia
  • Screen readers and accessibility features for digital content

Also supporting ADHD, dyspraxia, autism and other learning differences

Dyslexia often co-occurs with other learning differences like ADHD, dyspraxia, or autism. We understand that students may need support across multiple areas, and we adapt our teaching accordingly.

If your child also needs ADHD support or more targeted support for autism, we can keep the same multi-sensory approach while addressing additional needs. The goal is comprehensive support that works with your child's unique learning profile.

  • Dyslexia combined with ADHD or attention difficulties
  • Students with dyspraxia needing hands-on learning approaches
  • Autistic students who benefit from clear structure and predictability
  • Students with multiple learning differences or complex needs
  • Families wanting consistent, understanding support across subjects
