Specialist Private Tuition

for children with dyslexia or other barriers to literacy

How private tuition can help. 

Private tuition gives your child the focused, one-to-one support they need to overcome reading and writing challenges. In a busy classroom, children often struggle to get the attention they need — schools are noisy, lessons move quickly, and teachers may not have time to provide the structured, multi-sensory teaching that children with dyslexia require.

With private tuition, your child can learn at their own pace, receive step-by-step guidance, and build skills, confidence, and independence. Plus, I work with families to give you practical strategies to support learning at home, so progress continues beyond the lesson.

How it Works

Before you start

Private tuition works best when it is tailored to your child’s unique strengths and challenges. If your child has a formal diagnosis, I can use their report to guide lessons. If not, I carry out informal assessments through fun, engaging activities to understand their phonics, reading, spelling, memory, and overall learning profile. This helps me create lessons that truly meet your child’s needs.
