Browse all tutorsDyslexia support tutoring helps children and adults with dyslexia or suspected reading difficulties develop reading fluency, spelling accuracy, writing organisation and study strategies. Specialist tutors use evidence-based structured literacy approaches — multisensory, systematic and sequential — that general classroom teaching cannot replicate one-to-one.
Dyslexia affects the phonological processing that underpins reading and spelling — standard classroom reading approaches often do not address this underlying difficulty, and without specialist intervention students may fall progressively further behind their peers.
Structured literacy is an approach to reading and spelling instruction that is explicit, systematic and multisensory — teaching phonics rules in a specific sequence while using sight, hearing and movement together. It is the approach with the strongest research evidence for dyslexic readers, consistently outperforming whole-language and mixed methods in clinical studies. Programmes such as Reading Recovery, Orton-Gillingham, Toe by Toe and Wilson Reading are all structured literacy approaches. A specialist dyslexia tutor will typically use one or more of these frameworks.
No — a formal assessment is not required before starting with a dyslexia support tutor. A skilled tutor will carry out their own informal diagnostic assessment in the first session and can begin targeted intervention straight away. A formal Educational Psychologist assessment is useful for securing exam access arrangements (extra time, reader/scribe) at GCSE and A-Level, but tutoring does not depend on it.
