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 main worry is the Barnet 11+. Can an online tutor really help my child prepare?
Absolutely. This is a common focus for many families we support in North Finchley. Our tutors specialise in building exam technique specifically for neurodiverse learners. They can teach your child strategies for time management, breaking down complex questions, and managing the unique pressures of the 11+, helping them demonstrate their true abilities.
Are your tutors familiar with the standards of North Finchley schools like The Compton or St Michael's?
Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many have extensive experience helping students aim for top-performing state and grammar schools. They understand the high standards required and can tailor their approach to build the core academic skills and confidence needed to thrive in that kind of competitive environment.
How does online tutoring work for a child with dyslexia? Is it effective?
Online tutoring can be incredibly effective. Our platform's interactive whiteboard allows tutors to use visual aids, colour-coding, and other multi-sensory techniques that are brilliant for dyslexic learners. It provides a focused, one-to-one environment where your child can learn comfortably from home in North Finchley.
My child's confidence has been knocked. Can tutoring help with that too?
This is at the heart of what we do. A tutor's role is as much about mentorship as it is about teaching. By celebrating small wins and showing your child what they're capable of, our tutors help rebuild the self-belief that is so crucial for academic success and personal happiness.
How do you ensure tutors are qualified to support dyslexic students?
Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, have specific certifications in SEN support, or hold degrees in related fields like psychology and education. You can view each tutor's full profile, including their experience and qualifications with dyslexia, before you book, ensuring you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
We know that the right relationship is key. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the first 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.
How much do online dyslexia tutors cost for a student in North Finchley?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and specialist qualifications. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
How many sessions a week would you recommend?
For most students, one session a week is a great starting point to build momentum without feeling overwhelmed. As you get closer to specific exams like the 11+ or GCSEs, you and your tutor might decide to increase the frequency, but it's completely flexible to your child's needs.
Are there tutors for other subjects who also understand dyslexia?
Yes, many of our tutors across all subjects, from maths and science to humanities, have experience supporting students with dyslexia. When you search, you can often find tutors who mention this in their profile, ensuring your child gets understanding support no matter the subject.
What equipment 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 runs directly in your browser, so there's no complex software to install.
Can tutoring help with organisational skills as well as academic work?
Definitely. Many tutors specialising in dyslexia focus on executive functioning skills. This includes helping your child with planning homework, organising revision notes, and managing their time – practical life skills that make a huge difference.
How much do online dyslexia tutors cost for a student in North Finchley?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in dyslexia and have experience with your child's age group and specific goals. Read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and message them beforehand to ensure they're the perfect partner for your child's learning.
