Beyond the Classroom: Building Skills for Life, Not Just for Tests
Dyslexia support is about so much more than just improving reading. It's about helping your child understand their own unique way of thinking and turning it into a strength. When they learn strategies that work for them, they don't just decode words; they develop resilience, creative problem-solving skills, and the self-belief to tackle any challenge. These are the core skills that will see them thrive in competitive London sixth forms and beyond, whether they're aiming for UCL, King's, or a creative path all their own.

My son achieved a grade 5 in his English Language GCSE exam today. This was his 3rd resit. He was recently diagnosed with dyslexia and he would not have done this without Sobia's tutoring. Thank you so much Sobia!

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 very competitive Highbury school. Can a tutor help them keep up?
Absolutely. We hear this from many parents in Highbury. A tutor provides personalised, one-to-one attention that's often difficult in a busy London classroom. They can work at your child's pace, reinforce concepts, and build strategies to manage workloads, helping them feel confident and capable amongst their peers.
How can online tutoring specifically help a child with dyslexia?
Our online classroom is brilliant for dyslexia support. Tutors can use interactive tools, screen-sharing for mind-mapping, and chat functions for spelling practice. It creates a focused, low-pressure environment where your child can use assistive technologies and learn strategies tailored to them, all from the comfort of home.
We're worried about the 11+ and GCSEs. Can you help with exam preparation?
Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students with dyslexia for major exams. They can teach vital skills like time management, effective revision techniques, and how to approach different types of exam questions in a way that plays to your child's strengths.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the right match.
Are your tutors qualified to teach students with dyslexia?
Yes. You can view each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. Many have specific training and certifications in supporting learners with SpLD (Specific Learning Difficulties) like dyslexia. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
Dyslexia affects my child's confidence in subjects like History and Science too. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. Dyslexia's impact isn't limited to English. We have subject-specialist tutors who also have experience in supporting students with dyslexia. They can help with reading comprehension for science textbooks or structuring history essays, building skills across the curriculum.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them anytime. The biggest sign of progress often comes from your child. You'll notice them feeling more willing to tackle homework, speaking more positively about school, and showing a newfound belief in their own abilities.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to install. It’s designed to be straightforward and easy to use.
Can my child get help with learning a musical instrument or coding?
Yes! We believe in supporting all passions. Beyond academic subjects, we have thousands of tutors offering lessons in everything from guitar and piano to coding and art. It's a great way to build confidence in an area they love.
Are there tutors based in Highbury, London?
Our tutors are based all across the UK and teach exclusively online. This is a huge benefit for students in Highbury, as it gives you access to a much wider pool of specialists than would be available locally, ensuring your child is matched with the perfect expert for their needs.
How much does online Dyslexia tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Extremely flexible. You can arrange session times directly with your tutor to fit around school, clubs, and family life. Online tutoring removes travel time, making it much easier to fit quality learning into a packed Highbury schedule.
