Imagine them confidently tackling a text by a Merseyside writer like Willy Russell, not with dread, but with new strategies to decode it. Or organising their thoughts for an essay with clarity and purpose. This isn't just about passing exams – it's about building resilient, creative thinking skills that will serve them well, whether they're aiming for A-Levels at a local college or a degree from Liverpool John Moores University.

A Partnership That Builds Confidence, One Session at a Time
It starts with understanding. The right tutor doesn't see a problem to be fixed; they see a child with a unique way of processing the world. They take the time to discover how your child learns best, building a genuine connection based on trust and patience. This partnership creates a safe space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and trying new things, knowing they have someone cheering them on. Each online session is a step forward, tailored to your child's specific needs. Forget one-size-fits-all worksheets. This is about using multi-sensory techniques, visual aids, and practical strategies that make sense to them. From breaking down complex words to structuring a paragraph, every lesson is designed to deliver that 'aha!' moment, replacing frustration with a growing sense of control and achievement. And all this happens from the comfort of your home in Merseyside. No stressful journeys, no trying to fit appointments around school and work. You get access to the UK's best Dyslexia specialists, not just whoever is local.

However, I do get booked up fast and months in advance.It is always better to discuss this with me first before you request a lesson, and if you cannot find something, I will always do my best to accommodate your needs.About Me I'm Amba.

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 feeling the pressure at their Merseyside grammar school. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. We understand the competitive environment at schools like West Kirby Grammar or Liverpool Blue Coat. An online tutor can work in partnership with your child, reinforcing their school learning with tailored strategies that directly address the challenges of Dyslexia, helping them keep pace and rebuild their academic self-esteem.
How effective is online tutoring for a child with Dyslexia?
Online tutoring can be incredibly effective. Our interactive whiteboard allows for multi-sensory learning with colours, shapes, and typed text, which often suits a dyslexic learning style. Plus, learning from a familiar home environment in Merseyside can reduce anxiety and help your child focus completely on their session with their specialist tutor.
What happens if my child doesn't click with the first tutor?
Finding the right learning partner is essential. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, please don't worry. Just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
Can a tutor help my child with their goal of attending a university like the University of Liverpool?
Yes. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students towards higher education. They can help your child develop the advanced literacy, critical analysis, and organisational skills needed for A-Levels and university applications, ensuring Dyslexia is a strength, not a barrier to their ambitions.
Are your tutors qualified to support learners with Dyslexia?
Many of our tutors are teachers or specialists with specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting students with Dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties. You can view each tutor's full profile, including their experience and qualifications, to find the perfect match for your child.
How do you find tutors who understand the Merseyside educational system?
Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many have experience with the English curriculum, including GCSEs and A-Levels, which are standardised nationally. The key is finding a specialist in Dyslexia who can tailor their teaching to your child's individual needs, complementing the work they're doing at their Merseyside school.
How much do online Dyslexia tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly 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, giving you complete flexibility to find brilliant support that fits your budget.
How often should my child have a session?
We generally find that one session a week is the most effective for consistent progress, as it builds momentum without being overwhelming. However, the schedule is completely flexible and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your family's life in Merseyside.
My child’s confidence is very low. How can a tutor help with that?
This is at the heart of what we do. A great tutor is a mentor who celebrates small wins and helps your child see their own progress. By providing strategies that work, they replace the feeling of 'I can't' with 'I can'. This consistent, positive reinforcement is often the key to rebuilding their self-belief.
What equipment does my child need for online tutoring?
It's simple! All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a microphone. Our online classroom has a video chat function and an interactive whiteboard, so everything happens in one place. No complex software is needed.
Beyond Dyslexia support, can you help with specific subjects like Maths or Science?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in both Dyslexia support and specific academic subjects. They can help your child with their subject knowledge whilst also applying learning strategies that are tailored to their needs, which is often a perfect combination for making real progress.
How much do online Dyslexia tutors cost?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is getting on. We encourage open communication, so you can discuss progress and goals together. You're not just booking lessons; you're building a supportive team around your child.
