Specialist Private Tuition

for children with dyslexia or other barriers to literacy

How private tuition can help. 

Each child is unique

I tailor lessons to meet your child’s individual needs. I will help them to discover tools and techniques which suit them and that they can use in school.

When children experience success their self-esteem grows, helping them to realise their potential - in school and beyond.

How it Works

Before you start

Private tuition works best when it is designed around a profile of your child’s strengths and weaknesses. If your child has a formal diagnosis, I can use their diagnostic report to understand their difficulties. If your child does not have a diagnosis, I can informally assess their strengths and weaknesses by using a range of activities to evaluate their phonological awareness, phonics, memory, word reading skills and spelling.

Using a range of activities, I will assess your child’s:
