Dyslexia tutors & specialist support

Dyslexia affects how a child reads, writes and spells — it says nothing about how bright they are. The right specialist can change everything: not just grades, but confidence. Below you'll find tutors and learning providers who support dyslexic children, grouped honestly by how central dyslexia is to what they do.

Showing 3 providers supporting dyslexia — updated July 2026.

Specialise in dyslexia

Grouped honestly: providers can name no more than three primary specialisms — so when a provider appears here, dyslexia 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 Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a difference in how the brain processes written language. It mainly affects reading, spelling and writing fluency, and it exists on a spectrum — no two dyslexic children are alike. It has nothing to do with intelligence, and many dyslexic children have real strengths in reasoning, creativity and problem-solving that written work doesn't show.

At school, it often looks like this: reading more slowly than classmates, spelling that doesn't match how articulate a child is when speaking, avoiding reading aloud, and coming home exhausted from the effort of keeping up. A wide gap between what a child can say and what they can get down on paper is one of the most common signs parents notice.

What helps is well established: structured literacy teaching that builds up sounds, letters and spelling patterns step by step, revisited until they stick — delivered patiently, one-to-one or in small groups. Assistive technology like text-to-speech can lift the burden while skills grow. Most of all, the right specialist rebuilds a child's belief that they can learn.

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.
