But what if your child could get support that understands their unique way of thinking? With Tutorful, we connect children in Kent with specialist dyslexia tutors from across the UK, all online.

Beyond Exams: Building Skills for Life
Dyslexia support isn't just about passing the next test; it's about giving your child the tools to thrive everywhere. When they learn strategies that work for them, a dense history textbook or a complex science paper is no longer a barrier, but a door to a new world. Suddenly, they're not just reading – they're analysing, questioning, and forming their own brilliant ideas. This is the foundation that helps a student from Kent feel ready for anything, whether that's A-Levels at Simon Langton or a creative degree at UCA.

The Right Dyslexia Support for Your Kent Student
The best tutors see the child, not the label. They take the time to understand what makes your child tick, discovering the specific ways they learn best and the hurdles that cause frustration. It's a partnership built on trust and patience, creating those wonderful moments where a tricky concept finally clicks into place and you see their self-belief soar. We know how much that matters, which is why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Imagine lessons that don't feel like a struggle. Our tutors use multi-sensory techniques, assistive technology, and personalised strategies that turn learning into a positive experience. Whether it's breaking down phonics, mastering essay structure for their GCSEs, or developing time management skills for exams, each online session is built around your child's specific needs. It's about turning 'I can't' into 'I can try'. From your home in Kent, you get access to the UK's top dyslexia specialists without the stress of travel. Lessons fit around your family's schedule, whether it's after school in Maidstone or on a weekend in Canterbury. This is flexible, expert support designed to make life easier for you and help your child flourish. It's the support they deserve, right where you are.

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 has dyslexia. Can an online tutor help them prepare for the Kent 11+ Test?
Absolutely. This is a common focus for parents in Kent. Our tutors can work on key areas like reading comprehension, vocabulary, and time management strategies tailored for a child with dyslexia, helping them approach the test with greater confidence and show their true ability.
We're concerned about the level of dyslexia support in our local school. How can tutoring help?
We understand that concern. An online tutor provides dedicated, one-to-one attention that complements school-based support. They can reinforce concepts, pre-teach topics to build confidence, and focus on specific areas of difficulty, ensuring your child doesn't fall behind and feels fully supported in their learning.
Are your tutors familiar with the requirements for Kent grammar schools?
Many of our experienced tutors have helped students prepare for a wide range of selective school entrance exams across the UK, including the format and demands of the Kent Test. You can view each tutor's profile and experience to find the perfect match for your child's specific goals.
How does online tutoring for dyslexia actually work?
It's highly effective. Using our interactive online classroom with video chat and a shared whiteboard, tutors can use multi-sensory teaching methods, share resources, and provide instant feedback. It offers all the benefits of face-to-face tutoring, with the added advantage of accessing specialists from anywhere in the UK.
My child finds focusing difficult. Will online sessions be suitable?
Often, yes. One-to-one online sessions can be less distracting than a busy classroom. Tutors can tailor the pace and use interactive tools to keep your child engaged. Many parents find their child focuses brilliantly with a dedicated tutor who understands their needs.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the right 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 the tutors qualified to teach students with dyslexia?
Yes. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers or subject experts with specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including dyslexia. You can filter your search for tutors with SEN experience and read their profiles to see their specific credentials.
How much does online dyslexia tutoring cost for a student in Kent?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that also fits within your family's budget.
How flexible are the lesson times?
Extremely flexible. You can arrange lessons for times that suit your family, including evenings and weekends. Because you're choosing from tutors across the UK, you have a much wider choice of available slots than you would with a local-only tutor.
My child is studying for their GCSEs. Can a tutor help with subject-specific work?
Definitely. A dyslexia specialist can help with strategies for any subject, from structuring English essays and revising History facts to understanding complex problems in maths and science. They teach your child *how* to learn in a way that works for them.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than academic ones?
We do! We believe in learning for life. Alongside core subjects like Maths and English, our tutors offer lessons in everything from coding and music production to modern languages and art, helping your child explore passions and build new skills.
Are the tutors qualified to teach students with dyslexia?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to install.
