Dysgraphia tutors & specialist support

Dysgraphia affects the physical and mental act of writing — handwriting, spelling, and getting ideas onto paper. Many children with dysgraphia have wonderful ideas trapped behind a pen that won't cooperate. The providers below all help children get their thinking onto the page — and those who specialise in exactly this are listed first.

Work regularly with dysgraphia

Grouped honestly: providers can name no more than three primary specialisms — so when a provider appears here, dysgraphia is genuinely central to their work. Within each group, Pro subscribers are shown first. A provider's group is always decided by their own declared specialisms — never by payment.

Understanding

Understanding Dysgraphia

Dysgraphia is a difficulty with writing — not with thinking. It affects transcription: forming letters, writing legibly and at speed, spelling while composing, and organising thoughts on the page. The telltale pattern is a child who can explain something brilliantly out loud, then produces two laboured lines when asked to write it down.

At school it often shows up as avoidance — endless pencil sharpening, rubbing out, 'I don't know what to write' — because writing is genuinely exhausting when every letter takes deliberate effort. Hand pain and fatigue are common. Dysgraphia frequently overlaps with dyslexia and with dyspraxia (a coordination difficulty), and the right support depends on which parts are hardest for your child.

What helps: explicit handwriting teaching that rebuilds letter formation from the basics; splitting writing into stages so ideas, spelling and handwriting aren't all competing at once; and, where handwriting remains a barrier, touch-typing and speech-to-text tools so the ideas stop being held hostage. Schools can also agree access arrangements, such as using a laptop for written work.

This is general information to help you search, not medical or diagnostic advice. If you're concerned about your child, their GP or school SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) is the right starting point.
