The Right Support for Your Child's Learning Style
A great tutor doesn't just know their subject; they take the time to understand your child. They see the person behind the dyslexia, discovering what makes them tick and which methods make things click into place. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is paired with someone who can patiently guide them from 'I can't' to 'I can'. It’s a partnership built on trust and seeing real progress, together.
Lessons are designed entirely around your child's needs. For a student in Torquay facing the 11+, this could mean focusing on dyslexia-friendly techniques for verbal reasoning, using visual aids to decode complex maths problems, or building stamina for exam conditions. It’s not about rote learning; it’s about building a toolkit of strategies that they can use for the 11+, their GCSEs, and beyond.
Because all our tutoring happens online, your family's busy schedule is never a barrier. Your child can learn from the comfort of your Torquay home, connecting with a specialist who might be anywhere in the UK. This means no stressful after-school journeys and access to a much wider choice of experts than those who happen to live nearby. It's flexible, effective support that fits into your life.

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.
