Dyslexia Tutors
The British Dyslexia Association calculates that 10% of the British population are dyslexic, 4% severely so. Dyslexia is a “hidden” disability” which leaves the learner unable to fulfil their potential in many areas of life. It is a condition which manifests in many different ways and someone with dyslexia may experience problems in a number of different areas, including:
difficulties with reading
difficulties with spelling and writing
poor short term memory
poor sequencing
difficulties with comprehension
poor organisation
The impact of these difficulties is likely to affect all areas of education and many areas of everyday life.
Assessment and tutoring can provide a route to finding ways around the problems. Although dyslexia can never be “cured”, skilled and professional help from qualified and experienced teachers can assist in providing methods which work for dyslexics and help to give both the remediation and strategies which find a way around the difficulties. Most importantly, self-confidence, which is often shattered by lack of success in educational settings, can be rebuilt as the student discovers what they can achieve and that their talents and abilities are valued and celebrated.
