How We Work Together to Support Your Child in South-East London
It all starts with a tutor who truly sees your child. Not a test score, not a label, but the brilliant person behind it. Our tutors, only 1 in 8 of whom are accepted, are partners in your child's journey. They take the time to understand your child's unique way of thinking, celebrating their strengths and patiently building strategies for the areas they find tricky. It’s a real connection that makes learning feel safe and encouraging. Together, they'll build a toolkit of techniques that work specifically for them. A session might involve using multi-sensory methods to master tricky spellings, learning mind-mapping software to organise thoughts for an essay, or practising strategies to manage time pressure in exams. Every lesson is a practical, positive step forwards, turning moments of 'I can't' into 'I've got this'. That's the change seen by the 200,000+ students we've helped. Because tutoring happens online, your family's busy schedule is always the priority. There's no need to battle south-east London traffic for appointments.

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
Can an online tutor help my child prepare for the 11+ for competitive schools like St. Olave's, given their dyslexia?
Yes, absolutely. Our specialist tutors understand the demands of the 11+. They work with students to build specific strategies for timed papers, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, and comprehension, all tailored to a dyslexic way of learning. The goal is to give your child the tools and confidence to show their true ability under exam conditions.
My child's processing speed is a concern for exams at schools like Alleyn's. How can a tutor help?
This is a common concern, and our tutors can make a real difference. They focus on practical strategies like improving reading efficiency, techniques for quickly identifying key information in texts, and methods for structuring answers clearly and concisely. It's about working smarter, not just faster, to level the playing field.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for dyslexia support?
Many families find it's even more effective. Online sessions allow for the use of fantastic digital tools, from interactive whiteboards to assistive technology apps. Plus, your child can learn from the comfort of their own home in south-east London, and you get access to the best dyslexia specialists from across the UK, not just whoever is local.
What if my child doesn't click with the first dyslexia tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is essential. We're confident you will, but if the first session isn't a perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the right partner for your child.
Do your tutors understand the competitive school environment in south-east London?
Many of our tutors have experience supporting students targeting places at highly competitive grammar and independent schools across London. They understand the high standards and specific exam formats, and can build a tutoring plan that directly addresses the challenges your child will face.
How do you select your dyslexia specialist tutors?
We have a rigorous selection process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. We look for qualified teachers, subject matter experts, and individuals with proven experience and specific training in supporting students with learning differences like dyslexia. Every tutor is also background-checked for your peace of mind.
My child's disorganisation affects all their subjects. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. Many of our tutors specialise in executive function skills, which are often linked with dyslexia. They can help your child with organisation, planning, time management, and study skills that will benefit them across the entire curriculum, from GCSEs to A-Levels.
How much does online dyslexia tutoring cost for students in south-east London?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our platform to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
What technology does my child need for online lessons?
It's very straightforward. All your child needs is a laptop or tablet 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 really help with my child's confidence?
This is often the biggest change parents tell us about. When a child who has always found school hard starts to understand things with their tutor, it's transformative. Those 'aha!' moments build on each other, creating self-belief that extends far beyond a single subject.
How often should my child have a session?
Most families opt for one hour-long session per week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, the schedule is completely flexible and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's commitments.
My child's disorganisation affects all their subjects. Can a tutor help with that?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in dyslexia support. Read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session.
