Building Skills and Confidence for School and Beyond with Tutorful

Specialist dyslexia support is about giving your child the tools to succeed across the entire curriculum. When they have effective strategies to decode text and structure their thoughts, the challenges of essay-writing in GCSE English or analysing sources for A-Level History become manageable. This tailored support builds a foundation of confidence that extends far beyond exams. By mastering techniques that work for them, your child will feel more prepared for the demands of further education and equipped with lifelong skills for any career path they choose.
Dyslexia affects everyone differently, which is why one-size-fits-all learning plans rarely work. Tutorful's online dyslexia tutoring is built around flexibility, personalisation, and understanding. In each one-to-one lesson, your child's tutor takes the time to identify strengths, challenges, and preferred learning styles, whether that's visual tools, structured reading support, phonics-based strategies, or confidence-building exercises.
Tutorful's online tutoring also gives learners the comfort of working at their own pace in a familiar environment, reducing stress and making space for genuine progress. With screen-sharing tools, interactive whiteboards, and tailored resources, dyslexia tutors can break down complex tasks into manageable steps. This supportive approach helps learners grow not only academically but also emotionally, fostering resilience and a positive relationship with learning.

Find the Right Specialist Dyslexia Tutors for Your Child

We know that for children with dyslexia, the right teacher is everything. Tutorful will help you find a specialist tutor who not only has experience but also connects with your child's personality and understands their unique way of thinking. Many of our dyslexia tutors are trained specialists, experienced SEN teachers, or literacy intervention experts who understand how to support reading fluency, spelling, comprehension, working memory, and organisation. They will use proven, multisensory techniques that are tailored specifically to how your child learns best. In focused, one-to-one sessions, your child gets the patient, undivided attention they simply can't receive in a class of thirty. Our tutors will encourage perseverance, celebrate progress, and create a safe space where mistakes are part of the learning process. Your child can ask questions without feeling self-conscious and work at their own pace, turning points of frustration into moments of achievement. It's this personalised approach that helps 90% of our students improve by a full grade. All our tutoring takes place online, fitting flexibly around your family's schedule. Your child can learn from the comfort and security of their own home, using our interactive learning space. That means no extra travel for you and a more relaxed, effective learning environment for them. Whether preparing for exams, improving everyday reading and writing, or developing better study habits, Tutorful's dyslexia tutors help your child receive structured guidance that leads to measurable improvement.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Do your tutors have experience and qualifications for teaching children with dyslexia?

Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists with specific qualifications and extensive experience in teaching children with dyslexia. You can view their individual qualifications and experience on their profiles and use our filters to find tutors who specialise in Special Educational Needs (SEN).

What happens if my child doesn't get on with their dyslexia tutor?

We want to ensure it's the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you find the tutor isn't the right fit for your child after the first session, just email support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of that lesson.

Can a dyslexia specialist also help with a specific subject, like Maths or English?

Absolutely. Many of our dyslexia specialists are also experts in curriculum subjects. They can provide targeted support for GCSE English, for example, while applying teaching methods that are proven to work for dyslexic learners. This integrated approach can be incredibly effective.

How does online tutoring for dyslexia work?

Our online classroom features an interactive whiteboard, document sharing, and video chat, making it ideal for multisensory learning. Tutors can share resources, work through phonics exercises, and model writing techniques in real-time, creating an engaging and effective learning environment.

How do I find the right specialist dyslexia tutor on your platform?

You can use the search filters on our site to find tutors who list 'Dyslexia' or 'SEN' as a speciality. We recommend reading through their profiles, checking their experience and reviews from other parents, and sending a message to a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.

How much do specialist dyslexia tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can filter by price to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.

How often should my child have a tutoring session?

For dyslexia support, consistency is key. Most parents find that one session a week is ideal for building momentum and reinforcing new skills without overwhelming their child. You can discuss the best frequency directly with your chosen tutor.

What teaching methods do your dyslexia tutors use?

Our specialist tutors use a variety of proven methods tailored to the child. This often includes multisensory approaches, structured phonics programmes, and strategies to help with memory, organisation, and study skills. You can ask tutors about their specific techniques when you connect with them.

Can a tutor work with the recommendations from my child's Educational Psychologist report?

Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in creating lesson plans based on the findings and recommendations in an EP report. We recommend you share this with your tutor so they can provide the most targeted and effective support possible.

What age groups do your dyslexia tutors teach?

We have specialist tutors who can help children of all ages, from building foundational literacy skills in primary school (KS1/KS2) to developing advanced essay and revision strategies for GCSEs and A-Levels.

How quickly can we expect to see progress?

Every child is different, but many parents notice a significant boost in their child's confidence and willingness to engage with schoolwork within the first few sessions. The consistent, one-to-one support helps to build skills and self-belief steadily over time.

What age range do your dyslexia tutors support?

Our dyslexia tutors are experienced in supporting students across a wide range of ages, from primary school children just starting their learning journey, through to secondary school students preparing for GCSEs and A-Levels, and even adults seeking support. You can filter tutors by the age groups they specialise in to find the perfect fit for your child.
