You worry they might miss out on a place at Torquay Boys' or Girls' Grammar simply because of the way they process information.
But what if your child could walk into that exam feeling prepared and confident? From your home in Torquay, we connect you with specialist dyslexia tutors from across the UK. They don't just teach subjects; they teach strategies that work for your child, turning anxiety into a sense of control.

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.

Sobia S
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 really help my child prepare for the 11+ for Torquay's grammar schools?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in the 11+ curriculum and exam formats. For a child with dyslexia, they can provide specialist strategies for time management, comprehension, and tackling verbal and non-verbal reasoning questions in a way that plays to their strengths, giving them a fair chance to show their true potential.
My main worry is GCSEs and A-Levels. Can tutoring provide long-term support?
Yes, completely. The goal is to build skills for life, not just for one exam. A tutor can work with your child right through their school years, adapting their support for the demands of GCSEs and A-Levels at institutions like South Devon College, ensuring they have the confidence and strategies to succeed at every stage.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a child with dyslexia?
Many parents find it's even more effective. Online sessions use interactive tools, screen sharing, and digital whiteboards that can be highly engaging for learners with dyslexia. Plus, your child learns from their own comfortable space in Torquay, and you get access to the best specialist tutors from across the UK, not just whoever is local.
How do you ensure your tutors are qualified to support students with dyslexia?
It's a crucial part of our selection process. Many of our tutors have specific qualifications and extensive experience in supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including dyslexia. You can view each tutor's full experience and qualifications on their profile before booking to find the perfect fit.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable and understood. If the first session isn't the right fit for any reason, just 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 perfect match.
My child's confidence is very low. How can a tutor help with that?
This is often the biggest transformation we see. A great tutor provides a safe space where it's okay to make mistakes. By breaking down challenges into small, manageable steps and celebrating every win, they rebuild a child's belief in their own abilities, which has a positive impact far beyond their academic work.
How flexible is scheduling? Our weeks are already packed.
Very flexible. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions one at a time or in blocks. Because there's no travel involved, it's much easier to fit a one-hour online session into a busy week than a face-to-face meeting.
Does tutoring only cover academic subjects?
Not at all. Whilst we have experts in core subjects like Maths and English, we also have tutors who can help with organisational skills, study habits, and revision techniques – all areas where a child with dyslexia might need extra support. We also offer tutoring in hobbies like music, art, and coding.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very 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 website, so there's no complicated software to download. It's designed to be simple and intuitive to use.
How much do online dyslexia tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so prices vary. You can see the price for each tutor clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can a tutor help with my child's homework and school assignments?
Yes, they can. A tutor won't do the work for them, but they will guide your child, helping them understand the task, structure their work, and develop the skills to tackle future assignments independently. It's about teaching them how to learn effectively.
How flexible is scheduling? Our weeks are already packed.
You can start by searching for Dyslexia tutors on our website. You can then filter by subject, level, and availability. Read through tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents to find someone you feel is the right partner for your child's learning journey.
