Dyslexia Tutoring

 

Online and In-person Dyslexia Tutoring with BartyED

Dyslexia stands as the most diagnosed learning difference in the world. Our dyslexia tutors and learning specialists define it as an above-average difficulty with reading. Up to one in five people show symptoms of it; in 3-7% of the population, this difficulty is severe enough to warrant accommodations from school such as extra time in exams.

Many parents will have had their children ‘flagged’ for dyslexia, and encouraged to seek an educational psychologist’s diagnosis and dyslexia tutoring. From there, families must seek out the best support for seeing their child through school. BartyED’s private dyslexia tutoring programmes have been at the top of that list since 2017. 

Insights from our Director of Learning Support

Our Director of Studies, Hannah Searson, heads all programmes for students with learning differences. She explains that dyslexia is usually accompanied by symptoms of other learning differences, such as ADHD and dysgraphia. No matter the student, the private dyslexia tutor reports that a dyslexia diagnosis always has an impact on self-worth and confidence.

There is hope, though: an intensive tutoring programme to address dyslexia can bring promising results. Our private dyslexia tutoring programmes take this into account in the mentoring process. When tutoring, we understand the fine print in the diagnosis: dyslexia is above-average difficulty reading. Dyslexia is not an insurmountable difficulty reading. 

What should I look for in Private Dyslexia Tutoring Results?

BartyED’s online and in-person dyslexia tutoring programme does not claim to cure dyslexia any more than an optician can cure brown eyes. However, an expert dyslexia tutor can help improve academic performance by providing a systematic support programme that pushes students to put in the extra effort required to perform at grade level.

The right private dyslexia tutor manages to lighten the burden for students, equipping them with reading, annotation, and organizational strategies to ensure that the above-average difficulty students with dyslexia present does not become overwhelming.

Online and in-person dyslexia tutoring with BartyED aims to accomplish the following: 

  1. Instilling self-confidence and self-advocacy skills so that learners can feel proud of the hard work they put in, and see mainstream schooling through to graduation.

  2. Coaching organisational and reading skills to ensure efficient use of study time, preventing learners from feeling overwhelmed.

  3. Using homework support as a stimulus for class material, broadening areas of study to engage students with dyslexia on their own terms. Eventually, a private dyslexia tutor can find the right area of interest that will ensure reading for pleasure, despite its attendant challenges.

We understand that for dyslexia, practice may not make perfect, but it makes better. People with dyslexia are not doomed to a fail in life; many successful entrepreneurs and media personalities credit their dyslexia diagnosis with helping them be the well-adjusted, successful people they are today.

With the right dyslexia tutor, this painful process of self-realisation is made easier due to the expertise and empathy our tutoring programmes bring to the table. Graduates from our private dyslexia tutoring programmes may have that quirk of confusing ‘delay’ with ‘daily’ in a boardroom presentation, but the strategies BartyED’s online and in-person dyslexia tutoring equipped them with ensures a confident road ahead.
