Dyslexia isn't a barrier; it's just a different way of thinking. The right support helps your child translate their unique perspective into academic success. Imagine them confidently tackling a GCSE English paper, using mind-mapping techniques to structure a brilliant essay, or using assistive technology to organise their revision. These aren't just exam skills; they are strategies that build resilience and self-belief, preparing them for A-Levels and competitive London university courses.

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
Can a tutor help my child prepare for competitive entrance exams for Northwood schools?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in exam preparation, including 11+ and independent school entrance tests. They can help your child develop specific strategies for managing timed assessments, breaking down questions, and structuring answers in a way that showcases their knowledge, even under pressure.
My child is concerned about falling behind their peers at school in Northwood. How can tutoring help?
We completely understand this concern. A one-to-one tutor can work at your child's pace, reinforcing concepts they've struggled with in class and pre-teaching upcoming topics. This personalised attention helps build a solid foundation, boosting their confidence to participate in lessons and keep pace with their peers.
Is online tutoring as effective for dyslexia as in-person?
Yes, and it offers unique advantages. Our online classroom has interactive tools that are fantastic for multi-sensory learning, and tutors can share resources instantly. Crucially, it gives your child in Northwood access to dyslexia specialists from all over the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
Finding the right fit is essential. We have a first lesson guarantee, so if you don't get on with your first choice of tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you vet your dyslexia tutors?
We take great care in selecting our tutors. Only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted. All tutors undergo a rigorous application process, including interviews and background checks. Many have specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting students with dyslexia and other specific learning differences.
How much do online dyslexia tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. This transparency allows you to find a highly qualified tutor whose fees fit within your budget, with no hidden costs.
My child's confidence is very low. Can a tutor help with more than just academics?
This is at the heart of what we do. A great tutor is also a mentor and a confidence-builder. By creating a safe space to ask questions and celebrating every bit of progress, they help your child rebuild their self-esteem and rediscover a belief in their own abilities.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Sessions are typically one hour long, but this can be arranged with your tutor. Most students have one session per week, but you can schedule them as often as you need. The flexibility of online tutoring makes it easy to fit lessons around school, clubs, and family commitments.
Do you offer tutoring in subjects other than English and maths?
Yes, we offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. Whether your child needs support in science, wants to learn a new language, or is interested in coding or playing the guitar, you can find an expert tutor on our platform.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
Can tutoring help with GCSE and A-Level organisation skills?
Definitely. Tutors can work with your child on crucial executive functioning skills like planning revision, organising notes, and managing their time effectively. These are vital skills for navigating the demands of exams and are invaluable for university and beyond.
My child's confidence is very low. Can a tutor help with more than just academics?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in dyslexia support. Read their profiles and reviews from other parents to get a feel for their approach. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they're the perfect match.
