The Right Support for Your Child's Next Big Step
The right tutor sees the brilliant thinker behind the dyslexia. They take the time to understand exactly how your child processes information, identifying their strengths and the specific barriers created by the 11+ format. It’s a partnership built on trust and understanding, creating a space where your child feels safe to ask questions and finally see that they are more than capable of succeeding. Each session is a practical workshop for exam success. A tutor might introduce a multi-sensory technique for remembering key vocabulary, or run timed exercises that build speed and reduce anxiety, step by step. They’ll focus on decoding question types and developing a clear method for tackling them, transforming the exam from a source of fear into a manageable, predictable challenge. Over 90% of our students improve by at least one grade because of this tailored approach. For families in Clapham-London, online tutoring is a game-changer.

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
Can a tutor help my dyslexic child with the verbal reasoning part of the 11+ for schools near Clapham?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Clapham seek our help. Our specialist tutors have extensive experience with the 11+ format, including the demanding verbal and non-verbal reasoning sections. They can teach your child specific, proven strategies for decoding questions, managing time, and building the vocabulary needed to excel.
We're worried the time pressure of entrance exams will unfairly penalise our child. How can an online tutor help?
This is a very valid concern. Our tutors work specifically on building confidence under pressure. They do this by breaking down tasks into manageable steps, practising with timed exercises in a supportive environment, and teaching strategies to help your child stay calm and focused. The goal is to make the exam format feel familiar, not frightening.
How does online tutoring for dyslexia actually work?
It's highly effective. Tutors use interactive whiteboards, screen sharing for past papers, and a host of digital tools to create engaging, multi-sensory lessons. For a student with dyslexia, this can be even more beneficial than in-person, as technology can be used to present information in a way that perfectly suits their learning style. Plus, your child learns from the comfort of home, a space where they already feel secure.
What if my child doesn't connect with their first dyslexia tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we completely understand that. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors qualified to support students with dyslexia?
Yes. We have many tutors with specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting students with dyslexia and other specific learning differences (SpLDs). You can view each tutor's full profile, including their qualifications, experience, and parent reviews, to find the perfect specialist for your child.
My child also needs help with maths. Can we find a tutor for that too?
Of course. We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academics like Maths, English, and Science to music, coding, and languages. You can find a different specialist for each subject, ensuring your child gets expert support across the board.
How do you ensure tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our highest priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, which includes an identity check and an enhanced DBS background check. We are extremely selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much does online dyslexia tutoring cost for a student in Clapham-London?
Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that also fits within your family's budget.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
Incredibly flexible. You can arrange lessons for any time that suits your family, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. The online format removes travel time, making it much easier to fit expert support around a busy Clapham family schedule.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's confidence?
Many parents tell us they see a change in their child's attitude very quickly. When a child finally feels understood by a tutor who 'gets' them, their confidence can soar. They start to see that they *can* succeed, and that self-belief is the foundation for making real academic progress.
Do we need any special equipment for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our interactive online classroom works directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.
How do you ensure tutors are safe to work with children?
Yes, our tutors believe in a partnership between the tutor, the student, and the parent. You can message your tutor at any time through the platform, and they will provide regular feedback on the progress your child is making, the areas they're working on, and how you can best support their learning at home.
