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.

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 very academic Shrewsbury school. How can a tutor help them keep up?
We understand the pressure. Our tutors act as a dedicated partner, working one-to-one to build strategies that complement their schoolwork. They won't just reteach the curriculum; they'll provide your child with dyslexia-specific techniques for revision, essay writing, and time management, helping them demonstrate their knowledge effectively in a competitive setting.
How can tutoring ensure my child gets the GCSE grades needed for Shrewsbury Colleges Group?
Our tutors focus on building the core skills and confidence needed for exam success. By working with a specialist, your child will learn how to approach exam questions, structure their answers, and manage their time under pressure. This targeted support is designed to help them achieve the grades that reflect their true potential and open doors to their chosen A-level path.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a child with dyslexia?
Many parents find it's even more effective. Online sessions allow for the use of fantastic digital tools like interactive whiteboards, mind-mapping software, and other resources that are perfect for visual learners. Plus, your child learns in a comfortable, familiar environment, which can reduce anxiety and improve focus.
How do you find a tutor who specifically specialises in dyslexia?
It's simple. You can use the filters on our search page to find tutors with specific qualifications and experience in supporting students with dyslexia. You can also read their detailed bios and parent reviews to find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first dyslexia tutor?
Finding the right relationship is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Can a tutor help with organisational skills, not just academic subjects?
Absolutely. For many students with dyslexia, developing strong organisational skills is key to academic success. Our tutors can work with your child on everything from planning their homework schedule and organising their notes to breaking down large projects into manageable steps.
Are your tutors based in Shrewsbury?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, not specifically in Shrewsbury. The benefit of our online platform is that it gives students in Shrewsbury access to a much wider pool of specialist talent than would be available locally, ensuring you can find the perfect expert for your child's needs.
What qualifications do your dyslexia tutors have?
Our tutors have a wide range of qualifications and experience. Many have specific certifications in teaching students with special educational needs (SEN), whilst others are highly experienced teachers who have specialised in this area. We vet every tutor and only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted, so you can be confident in their expertise.
How much does online dyslexia tutoring cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly listed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's very straightforward. All you need is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our online classroom is built into our website, so there's no complex software to download.
My child also struggles with maths. Can we find a tutor who understands both?
Yes, many of our tutors are skilled across multiple areas. You can find experienced maths tutors who also have a deep understanding of how to support learners with dyslexia or dyscalculia. This ensures your child receives support that is tailored to their specific way of thinking.
Are your tutors based in Shrewsbury?
Every child is different, but many parents tell us they see a change in their child's attitude and confidence surprisingly quickly. Often, just knowing they have a supportive partner who understands them can make a huge difference in how they approach their schoolwork.
