A Supportive Partner for Your Child's Journey with Dyslexia
The right tutor doesn't just see a student who struggles; they see a bright child with a different way of thinking. They take the time to understand exactly where the frustration points are, and what makes things 'click'. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is paired with someone who has the expertise and patience to build a genuine, supportive partnership where it's safe to ask questions and try again. Lessons are shaped entirely around your child. A session might focus on using multi-sensory techniques to master tricky words, breaking down essay structures into manageable steps, or finding new software that makes writing feel less daunting. It’s this one-to-one focus that turns moments of 'I can't' into breakthroughs of 'I get it now!', building skills and self-belief week by week. Because all our tutoring is online, you can forget stressful journeys after school. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, at a time that fits your family's schedule. This flexibility means your child in Bolton gets access to the very best Dyslexia specialists from across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby. It’s expert support, designed for your life.

Friendly, enthusiastic Dyslexia Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child.

Jasmine U
Having learning difficulties, I thought I would feel uncomfortable in the first lesson; however, Jasmine is lovely.
Jasmine gave me detailed feedback on my A Level Business assignment in regards to layout and improvements in my academic writing.
She also gave me examples I could include in my assignment to achieve the highest grade possible on the assignment. Jasmine kindly wrote me a list of things that she discussed in the lesson so that I wouldn't forget, which was helpful.
Additionally, Jasmine asked me if I had any questions I had near the end, so I was reassured or if I had any doubts. She is very friendly, and I was able to communicate with her without feeling shy.
I would highly recommend Jasmine as a tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a large Bolton comprehensive like Turton School. How can online tutoring help?
We understand that in a busy classroom, it's hard for any child to get consistent one-to-one attention. For a learner with Dyslexia, that focused support is vital. An online tutor provides a dedicated, quiet space where your child can work at their own pace, ask questions without feeling self-conscious, and build strategies that directly complement their learning at school.
We're worried about GCSEs and getting into Bolton College. Can a Dyslexia specialist really make a difference?
Absolutely. A specialist tutor can be transformative for GCSEs. They go beyond the subject matter to teach crucial exam techniques, time management skills, and revision strategies tailored for learners with Dyslexia. This support can make a significant difference to their results, building the confidence and grades needed for progression to Bolton College or other pathways.
Is online tutoring as effective for Dyslexia support as in-person?
Yes, and for many, it's even better. Online sessions use interactive tools, screen sharing, and digital resources that are highly engaging and effective for multi-sensory learning. Plus, it gives your child in Bolton access to a wider pool of top-rated Dyslexia specialists from across the UK, ensuring you find the perfect match, not just the closest one.
What if my child doesn't click with the first Dyslexia tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is key, and we want you to be completely happy. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the right fit after the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How do you ensure tutors are qualified to support students with Dyslexia?
Many of our tutors have specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including Dyslexia. You can view each tutor's full profile, including their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents, to help you make an informed choice. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure of their quality.
How much does online Dyslexia tutoring cost for a learner in Bolton?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. This allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden costs or contracts.
What technology does my child need for their online sessions?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing to make lessons engaging and effective.
Does Tutorful only offer support for academic subjects?
Not at all! Whilst we have specialists for core subjects like English and Maths, many tutors also help with crucial related skills. This can include organisation, revision planning, and study skills, which are often areas where learners with Dyslexia can benefit hugely from extra support.
Can we schedule lessons to fit around our family's busy life?
Of course. That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can schedule sessions at times that work for you and your child – whether that's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays. You can arrange times directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly will we see a change in my child's confidence?
Every child is different, but many parents tell us they see a shift in their child's attitude and confidence surprisingly quickly. Just having a dedicated, supportive expert on their side can make them feel more positive about learning. Academic progress follows from that growing self-belief.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, absolutely. The safety of our students is our top priority. Every tutor on the Tutorful platform must have a valid DBS check and provide references before they can start teaching. We are committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment.
What technology does my child need for their online sessions?
Yes. The strategies a child learns to manage Dyslexia in one subject are often transferable. Building confidence in reading and writing can have a positive ripple effect on their ability to tackle subjects like History, Geography, and even Science, where they need to understand complex texts and write clearly.
