Can a tutor help my child with dyslexia?
Yes. Children with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties make progress with one-to-one support that works in small, structured steps, with lots of repetition and encouragement. At GoStudent your child learns one-to-one online with a matched tutor at their own pace, 50 minutes per lesson, from £24.99, and the first trial lesson is free. 93% of students improve their grades.
How a tutor supports specific learning difficulties
| Criterion | Dyslexia | Dyscalculia | Dyspraxia |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical hurdles | Reading, spelling, writing | Numbers, quantities, methods | Handwriting, organisation |
| How the tutor helps | Sounds, syllables and spelling patterns in small steps | Back to basics, visual methods | Clear structure, typed work, step-by-step plans |
| Goal | More confident reading and writing | Solving schoolwork independently | Organised, less stressful learning |
