Frequently asked questions

Who do you help?

I work with primary school children who struggle with reading, writing, and spelling, including those with dyslexia or other learning differences.

How will your teaching differ from school support?

One-to-one tuition gives your child personalised, focused teaching that isn’t possible in a busy classroom. Using evidence-based methods like Orton-Gillingham (OG), lessons are tailored to your child’s needs.

What support do you provide for parents?

I provide practical strategies and guidance that help parents reinforce what their child learns in lessons. This includes step-by-step activities, tips for practising reading and spelling, and advice on creating a supportive home learning routine, so progress continues outside of the one-to-one sessions.

What if my child shows signs of dyslexia but has no formal diagnosis?

A formal diagnosis isn’t required. I can assess your child’s learning needs, identify areas to support, and create lessons that help them develop reading, writing, and spelling skills with confidence.

How long are the lessons and how often?

Lessons run weekly during term time and last 55 minutes. Consistency is key to building skills, confidence, and independence
