Frequently Asked Questions

​

How many sessions do you recommend?

Dyslexia tuition works best with frequent short lessons for the year R and year 1 as they require a lot of overlearning.  I recommend two sessions a week.

For year 2 to 8+, I recommend regular sessions of one hour a week.

​​

What do the lessons include?

For year R and year 1, a phonics based programme which builds upon the previous lesson.

For year 2 to year 8+, each week will be planned individually to meet your child's needs and will build upon your child's existing secure knowledge.

​​

Can I just have a screening done?

Yes, screening can be useful as a guide to uncover strengths in addition to areas that your child is finding challenging.

​​

Do you allow parents in to watch?

For screening, it is best for the parents to wait outside to avoid distractions.

For tuition, you will be invited to observe a lesson once my assessment has been completed.

​​

Can I send my child with another child to reduce the cost?

For Year R and Year 1, yes, up to 3 children.

For Year 2 to Year 8+,  this is only for one child as it is a very specialised and individual programme.
