Building the Skills That Change Everything
The right support for Dyslexia isn't just about passing tests; it's about rebuilding a child's relationship with learning itself. It’s the moment a jumble of letters finally clicks into a word, or when they write a full sentence and feel immense pride. These victories build the resilience and strategies needed to tackle complex GCSE texts and prepare compelling applications for brilliant local institutions like the University of Leicester or De Montfort University. It’s about giving them the tools to show the world how clever they truly are.

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
We're worried SENCO resources at my child's school in Leicester are stretched. How can a tutor help?
We hear this from many parents. An online tutor provides dedicated, one-to-one attention that can be difficult to find in a busy classroom. They can work in partnership with your child's school learning plan or create a bespoke programme to target the specific areas where your child needs the most support, ensuring they don't fall behind.
My child dreams of going to De Montfort or the University of Leicester. Can a Dyslexia tutor help them stay on track?
Absolutely. Our tutors are brilliant at building the foundational skills and learning strategies essential for GCSE and A-Level success. By improving reading comprehension, essay structure, and revision techniques, a tutor helps your child demonstrate their knowledge effectively, keeping their future university goals firmly within reach.
Is online tutoring really effective for a child with Dyslexia?
Yes, many find it incredibly effective. Online sessions use a range of interactive tools, from digital whiteboards to educational games, that support multi-sensory learning. It provides a focused, low-pressure environment where your child can learn from home, and it gives you access to Dyslexia specialists from across the UK, not just who happens to live nearby.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Dyslexia tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, especially for building confidence. We're here to help with that. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are your Dyslexia tutors specifically qualified to teach students with learning differences?
Many of our tutors have specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including Dyslexia. You can view each tutor's full profile, including their experience, qualifications, and teaching style, to find the perfect expert for your child. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure of their quality.
My child's Dyslexia affects their confidence in maths and science too. Can we find a tutor who understands this?
Yes. Many tutors specialise in multiple subjects and have experience supporting students with Dyslexia across the curriculum. They understand how processing differences can impact subjects like maths (Dyscalculia) and can adapt their teaching methods to help your child build confidence in any subject they find challenging.
How do you match my child with the right online Dyslexia tutor?
Our platform allows you to browse tutors and filter by subject specialism (like Dyslexia), experience, and availability. You can read reviews from other parents and message tutors directly before booking to ensure they are the right fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for building momentum and making steady progress without overwhelming the student. However, the frequency is completely flexible and can be arranged directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
How much does online Dyslexia tutoring cost for a learner in Leicester?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that also fits within your family's budget.
How will I know if the tutoring is making a difference?
You'll see it in a few ways. Tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress, but often the first signs are changes in your child's attitude. You might notice them being more willing to start homework, feeling less anxious about school, and, most importantly, starting to believe in their own abilities again.
Does my child need any special equipment for online lessons?
It's very straightforward. All your child needs is a laptop, tablet, or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our tutors use our custom-built online classroom with an interactive whiteboard, making lessons engaging and easy to join.
How do you match my child with the right online Dyslexia tutor?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! From core academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science at all levels from Primary to degree, to languages, musical instruments, and even coding. We're here to support your child's entire learning journey.
