Beyond Reading: Building Lifelong Confidence and Skills
Dyslexia support is about so much more than phonics and spelling. It's about changing your child's relationship with learning itself. When they discover strategies that work for their unique brain, they don't just learn to read – they learn resilience, problem-solving, and creative thinking. Imagine them organising their thoughts for an essay without frustration, or tackling a complex science question with newfound self-belief. These are the skills that will carry them towards their goals, whether that’s thriving at a local Plymouth college or preparing for university and beyond.

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 at a competitive Plymouth secondary school. Can a tutor help them manage the GCSE workload with dyslexia?
Absolutely. A specialist tutor can work with your child to develop personalised strategies for revision, time management, and exam technique. They can help break down complex subjects into manageable chunks and build the organisational skills needed to cope with the pressures of GCSEs, ensuring dyslexia doesn't hold them back.
We're worried dyslexia might affect my child's chances of getting into the University of Plymouth. How can tutoring help?
Our tutors can be a huge help here. They focus on strengthening the core academic skills and essay writing techniques required for higher education. More importantly, they build the independent learning habits and confidence your child will need to thrive at university, helping them put together a strong application.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for dyslexia support?
Yes, and in many ways, it can be even better. Our online classroom has interactive tools like whiteboards and document sharing that are brilliant for multi-sensory learning. Plus, it gives your child in Plymouth access to the best dyslexia specialists across the UK, not just whoever happens to live nearby.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first dyslexia tutor?
Finding the right personality match is essential, and we understand that. If for any reason the first lesson isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
My child's confidence is low across all subjects due to their dyslexia. Can we find tutors for other subjects too?
Yes, of course. Many of our tutors are specialists in multiple subjects and have experience supporting learners with dyslexia across the curriculum, from Maths and Science to History. We can help you find tutors who understand how to adapt their teaching to support your child's specific needs in any subject.
How do you ensure your tutors are qualified to support learners with dyslexia?
We have a rigorous selection process, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted. Many of our dyslexia specialists have specific qualifications and extensive experience in SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). You can view each tutor's full profile, experience, and qualifications before you book.
Can tutoring help with the frustration and low self-esteem that often comes with dyslexia?
This is one of the most important parts of what our tutors do. A one-to-one session is a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By celebrating their progress and showing them what they're capable of, our tutors help rebuild the self-belief that can be knocked by challenges at school.
How flexible are the lesson schedules for a busy Plymouth family?
Very flexible. You can arrange lessons for any time that suits your family, including evenings and weekends. Because it's all online, you save on travel time, making it much easier to fit quality, consistent support around school, work, and other commitments.
How much do online dyslexia tutors for learners in Plymouth typically cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How will I know if my child is making real progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development, highlighting areas of improvement and next steps. The clearest sign, though, is often the change you'll see in your child – their growing confidence, their willingness to tackle homework, and a more positive attitude towards their learning.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All your child needs 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 complex software to install.
Can tutoring help with the frustration and low self-esteem that often comes with dyslexia?
You can start looking straight away. Simply search for dyslexia tutors, browse their profiles, and send a message to the ones you think are a good fit. Many tutors respond within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week.
