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 attends a high-achieving York school like Fulford or Archbishop Holgate's. Can a tutor keep pace?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students in academically demanding environments. They don't just teach content; they provide personalised strategies to help your child manage workloads, organise their thoughts, and demonstrate their knowledge effectively, ensuring they can thrive alongside their peers.
How can online tutoring help my child aim for a competitive place at the University of York?
Our tutors can be instrumental. They focus on developing the higher-level skills needed for university, such as critical analysis, extended writing, and independent study techniques. By building these skills and your child's confidence, a tutor helps strengthen their A-Level performance and their university application.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a child with dyslexia?
Yes, for many it's even more effective. Online sessions use interactive tools like digital whiteboards and shared documents which can be highly engaging. It also gives your family in York access to a much wider pool of specialist dyslexia tutors from across the UK, ensuring you find the perfect match, not just who is available locally.
What if my child doesn't click with their first dyslexia tutor?
Finding the right relationship is everything. We have a first-lesson guarantee because we want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. If it's not the right fit, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you ensure your tutors are qualified to support students with dyslexia?
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, qualifications, and parent reviews on their profile to find the specialist who is right for your child.
My child's confidence is very low. How do tutors handle this?
This is our tutors' top priority. They are experts at creating a positive, encouraging environment. They break down tasks into manageable steps, celebrate small wins, and focus on your child's strengths. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first and most important step towards academic progress.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our platform has a built-in video classroom with an interactive whiteboard, making online learning collaborative and easy to use.
How much does online dyslexia tutoring cost for students in York?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15-£25 per hour, based on their experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees.
Can a tutor help with the specific demands of GCSEs and A-Levels?
Definitely. Our tutors are very familiar with the requirements of major exam boards. They can help your child with revision techniques, exam strategies, and understanding command words, all tailored to work with their specific learning style.
Does online tutoring mean we miss out on someone who understands the York school system?
Not at all. While our tutors are UK-wide, they are all experts in the UK national curriculum, GCSEs, and A-Levels that are taught in York schools. The benefit is you get access to a top specialist who truly understands your child's needs, which is more important than their physical postcode.
How long are the sessions and how often should my child have them?
Most sessions are one hour long. We generally recommend one session per week to build momentum and consistency, but the frequency is completely flexible and up to you. You can discuss what works best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Beyond dyslexia support, can we find tutors for other subjects like maths or languages?
Yes. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. If your child needs support in maths, science, a new language, or even a creative skill like learning the guitar, you can find a brilliant, vetted tutor for them on Tutorful.
