Unlocking A-Level Pathways and Beyond
Expert support for dyslexia isn't just about passing an English exam. It's about developing the skills to succeed across the board. When your child learns new strategies for reading and writing, they can suddenly analyse historical sources with more clarity, structure a science report with confidence, and articulate their ideas in any subject. These are the core academic skills that turn aspirations for competitive A-Level courses into a reality, building a strong foundation for university applications and future careers.

Personalised Dyslexia Tutoring That Builds Real Momentum
The right tutor sees beyond a diagnosis to the individual learner. They take the time to understand exactly how your child's mind works, what makes them tick, and where the frustration points are. It's a partnership built on trust and patience, where your child feels safe to try new things and finally has those 'aha!' moments. We see it every day: a student who felt left behind starts to believe in their own ability to learn. Imagine lessons that are actually designed for your child. Not just more of the same, but sessions that might use mind-mapping tools to plan an essay, multi-sensory techniques to tackle spelling, or assistive technology to break down complex texts. It's about creating a personalised toolkit of strategies your child can use in any classroom, giving them a sense of control and turning 'I can't' into 'I can do this, my way'. Because tutoring happens online, your family in Saint-Helens gets access to specialists from all over the UK – not just whoever happens to live nearby. It means no stressful journeys after school, just effective, one-to-one support that fits around your life. With over 4,100 positive reviews from parents like you, we know this approach doesn't just improve grades; it rebuilds confidence from the ground up.

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 aiming for Carmel College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSEs they need?
Absolutely. That's a goal we hear from many parents in Saint-Helens. Our tutors specialise in building the specific skills and strategies needed to tackle GCSEs with confidence. They'll work with your child to strengthen their literacy, improve their exam technique, and help them express their knowledge effectively across all subjects, giving them the best possible chance of securing a place on their desired A-Level course.
We're worried our child's dyslexia will limit their options after school. How does tutoring address this?
This is a really common concern, and we're here to help. Tutoring isn't just about short-term grades; it's about building long-term skills. A specialist tutor will equip your child with a toolkit of strategies for reading, writing, and organisation that they can carry with them to sixth form, university, and into their career, ensuring dyslexia becomes a challenge they can manage, not a barrier to their future.
Is online tutoring really effective for a child with dyslexia?
Yes, many find it even more effective. Online sessions allow for the use of fantastic digital tools, from interactive whiteboards to assistive reading software, that can be perfectly tailored to a student's needs. Learning from a familiar, low-stress home environment in Saint-Helens can also help your child focus and build confidence away from the pressures of the classroom.
What if my child doesn't click with the first dyslexia tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is essential. We have a first lesson guarantee to ensure you do. If you don't feel the first tutor is the perfect 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.
Does dyslexia support only cover English?
Not at all. The strategies a student learns to manage their dyslexia can be applied across the entire curriculum. Tutors can help your child with essay-based subjects like History or Geography, and even with understanding word problems in Maths or instructions in Science. It's about improving their ability to process information in all its forms.
Are your tutors qualified to support learners with specific learning differences?
Yes. Many of our tutors are current or former teachers with specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting students with dyslexia and other learning differences. You can view each tutor's full experience, qualifications and specialisms on their profile before you book, ensuring you find the right expert for your child.
How do you match my child with the right tutor?
Our platform allows you to filter tutors based on their specific experience with dyslexia, their teaching style, and their subject expertise. You can read reviews from other parents and watch introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, highlighting areas of improvement and next steps. The biggest sign of progress, though, often comes from your child themselves – in their growing confidence, their willingness to tackle homework, and the way they start talking about school.
How much do online dyslexia tutors cost for students in Saint-Helens?
Our tutors are independent and set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's fee clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our platform, so there's no complex software to download. It's designed to be as easy and intuitive as possible.
How flexible are the lesson times?
Very flexible. Our tutors offer sessions during the day, in the evenings, and at weekends. Because they are based across the UK, you have a much wider choice of available times. You can find a schedule that fits perfectly around your family's commitments, whether it's after sports clubs or on a Sunday morning.
How do you match my child with the right tutor?
We do! Whilst we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like Maths, English and Science, we also have experts who teach everything from coding and musical instruments to art and languages. It's all about helping your child explore their interests and build new skills.
