5 x 1:1 Online Dyslexia Lessons

About This Service

I offer a bespoke Specialist Dyslexia tutoring service which meets the individual needs of the student. Each child is different and works at a different pace. A Dyslexia Assessment Report provides guidance and detail about which areas of learning need to be supported. If your child does not have a formal diagnosis, I would undertake some assessments to determine the tutoring programme. I would also complete what is called a 'placement test' to determine where your child would start on a tutoring intervention. Response to Intervention (RTI) is measured during termly reviews. I use a multi-sensory, structured approach, supporting holistic development and attainment in reading, spelling and writing. There are different areas of your child's learning profile which will need support; a combination of lesson activities will target your child's needs. Cognitive difficulties: - Working memory - Processing Speed - Vocabulary - Executive functioning I would be looking for improvements in processing of information, recall and organisation. Attainment difficulties: - Phonological Awareness - Reading - Spelling - Writing I will be looking for improvements in alphabetic knowledge, phonics, blending, segmenting, spelling and reading fluency. Every session involves a 10 minute writing task as part of the routine; over time, with repetition, this builds writing skills, structure, punctuation and grammar skills. I am a British Dyslexia Association and Toe by Toe UK Tutor; with extensive experience in supporting children with learning difficulties both as a qualified teacher and SENCO. I am registered with SASC, the BDA and PATOSS. It is important that children with Dyslexia receive the specialist support needed, rather than a general tutor who is not qualified in this role. I book tutoring sessions in blocks of 5 to ensure that there is consistency for my students. Most students have interventions for 10-20 sessions depending on their level of need. Online tutoring offers the freedom of where your child can work from and doesn't rely on travelling. I use a range of online games, interactive resources and Padlet to deliver personalised online tutoring.
