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 aiming for a competitive grammar school in Essex. Can a tutor help with the verbal reasoning parts of the 11+?
Absolutely. Many of our specialist tutors have experience supporting children with Dyslexia through the 11+ process. They can provide specific strategies for tackling verbal and non-verbal reasoning, improving processing speed, and building the confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.
We're worried about our child keeping up with the GCSE curriculum at their Essex comprehensive. How does tutoring help?
This is a common concern, and where one-to-one tutoring really helps. A tutor can pre-teach complex topics, help with organising coursework, develop effective revision techniques, and work on exam strategies. It gives your child a dedicated space to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom.
Is online tutoring for Dyslexia as effective as face-to-face?
Yes, and for many children, it's even more effective. Online sessions use interactive tools like digital whiteboards and shared documents which can be highly engaging. Crucially, it gives your child in Essex access to a much wider pool of specialists from across the UK, ensuring you find the perfect match, not just who is available locally.
How do you ensure tutors are qualified to support children with Dyslexia?
We take this very seriously. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers with specific credentials in Special Educational Needs (SEN), or have extensive, verifiable experience working with students with Dyslexia. You can view their qualifications and experience on their profile and chat with them before booking to ensure they're the right fit.
What if my child doesn't click with the first Dyslexia tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is key. We have a first lesson guarantee to ensure you feel confident. If it's not the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
My child's confidence is very low. How do tutors help with that?
Rebuilding confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. By creating a safe, encouraging environment and breaking down tasks into achievable steps, they help your child experience consistent success. Celebrating small wins and showing them what they're capable of makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
Beyond English, can tutors help with subjects like maths or science where Dyslexia has an impact?
Definitely. Dyslexia can affect working memory and information processing, which impacts many subjects. We have tutors who specialise in supporting students in specific subjects like maths, science, and humanities, using techniques tailored to a dyslexic learning style.
What technology does my child need for their online sessions?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our online classroom is built into our platform, so there's no complex software to download. It's designed to be intuitive and easy to use.
How much does online Dyslexia tutoring for a student in Essex cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.
Can an online tutor really understand the specific pressures of the Essex education system?
Many of our tutors are experienced teachers from across the UK who are very familiar with the national curriculum, including the demands of GCSEs, A-Levels, and selective school entrance exams like the 11+. They understand the high standards expected and can tailor their support to help your child meet them.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for building momentum and making consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely flexible and up to you. You can discuss what would work best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Beyond English, can tutors help with subjects like maths or science where Dyslexia has an impact?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in Dyslexia. Read their profiles and parent reviews to get a feel for their approach. We also recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking your first session.
