The Right Strategies for Your Child's Dyslexia Journey
The right tutor sees Dyslexia not as a weakness, but as a different way of processing the world. We connect you with specialists who take the time to understand your child's unique strengths and challenges. They won't just teach a subject; they'll discover how your child learns best. It’s a partnership built on patience and celebrating those 'aha!' moments when a new strategy finally clicks into place. Imagine lessons where information is presented in a way that makes perfect sense to your child. Our tutors use multi-sensory techniques, mind-mapping tools, and practical methods to break down complex topics. Instead of facing a daunting page of text, your child learns how to deconstruct it, find the key points, and articulate their knowledge with confidence. This is where learning transforms from a struggle into an achievement. Because every session is online, your child in Preston can access one of the UK's very best Dyslexia specialists without you needing to travel anywhere. Fitting lessons around family life is simple.

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic Dyslexia Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

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 wants to go to Cardinal Newman College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades they need, especially with their Dyslexia?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for families we work with in Preston. Our tutors specialise in building exam strategies tailored to students with Dyslexia. They'll work with your child on everything from time management and revision techniques to understanding command words, helping them show their true ability and secure the grades needed for their chosen A-Level pathway.
Is online tutoring really as effective as in-person for a child with Dyslexia?
Many parents find it's even more effective. Online sessions are one-to-one and free from classroom distractions. Tutors can use interactive whiteboards, share resources instantly, and utilise digital tools that are fantastic for multi-sensory learning. It allows for a highly focused and engaging learning environment, all from the comfort of home.
We're aiming for a university like UCLan or Lancaster. How can tutoring now help with that long-term goal?
Great question. Tutoring now builds the foundational skills your child will need for A-Levels and university. By developing effective learning and revision strategies for their GCSEs, they'll carry that confidence and competence forward. It's about equipping them to become independent, successful learners, ready for the challenges of higher education.
How do you ensure your tutors are qualified to support students with Dyslexia?
We take this very seriously. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, have specific certifications in SpLDs (Specific Learning Differences), or hold extensive experience working with students with Dyslexia. You can view each tutor's full qualifications and experience on their profile to find the perfect match for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Dyslexia tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have a satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason the first lesson isn't the right 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.
How do online lessons work? What technology do we need?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our bespoke online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. It's designed to be intuitive and engaging for students.
How much does online Dyslexia tutoring cost for learners in Preston?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so there's a range of prices to suit different budgets. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find excellent support that works for your family.
My child's confidence has taken a knock. Can tutoring help with that too?
Yes, this is one of the most important outcomes. A great tutor provides a safe space for a student to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement. As they start to see progress and understand things that were once confusing, their self-belief grows. We hear from parents all the time that renewed confidence is the biggest change they see.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most students have one session per week, as this provides consistency and momentum. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange sessions with your tutor at a frequency that matches your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Can a tutor help with organising thoughts for essays and coursework?
Definitely. This is a key area where specialist tutors can make a huge difference. They can introduce techniques like mind-mapping and structured planning to help your child organise their ideas logically before they start writing, which is a vital skill for both GCSEs and A-Levels.
Does Tutorful offer support in other subjects, not just for Dyslexia?
Yes, we offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths, English and Science to languages, humanities, and even practical skills like coding or music. You can find expert support for all of your child's learning needs on our platform.
How much does online Dyslexia tutoring cost for learners in Preston?
It's straightforward. Simply use the search function on our website to browse qualified Dyslexia tutors. You can read their profiles, check their reviews from other parents, and send a message to tutors you think would be a good fit to ask any questions before booking your first session.
