Find a tutor

A good tutor can help someone with dyslexia build their self confidence.

Having the one-to-one attention of a tutor will give your child time to gain confidence in learning. Parents who have found a tutor through Dyslexia Scotland often see huge improvements in their child's academic abilities and their desire to learn.

The benefits of hiring a tutor include:

Learn at their own speed: Having one-to-one tutoring can give your child the chance to learn at his or her own speed, and benefit from techniques created specifically for people with dyslexia.

A tailored approach: Tutors can focus on the things your child is having trouble with, and help them prepare for classes at school.

Outside school: your child can also receive help with revision, homework or coursework, and develop strategies to deal with problems independently.

Most importantly, a tutor can help your child learn to love learning.
