Dyslexia support is specialist tuition for students with diagnosed or suspected dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD or other specific learning differences, working alongside or in addition to mainstream subject teaching. Approaches draw on structured literacy methods (Orton-Gillingham, multi-sensory phonics, Hickey, Bangor) plus working-memory and executive-function strategies. Tutoring helps most with reading fluency, spelling, written expression, and the metacognitive scaffolding that lets students manage their own learning. Look for tutors with formal SpLD qualifications (Level 5 or Level 7 SpLD diplomas, AMBDA, APC, or PATOSS membership) rather than general teachers offering 'dyslexia-friendly' lessons. The specialist credential matters here.
A-levels are sat at the end of Year 13 (age 17-18) and are the standard UK university-entrance qualification, with most students taking 3 subjects (sometimes 4 plus an EPQ). Grades A*-E feed UCAS, and competitive university courses set offers at AAA or higher. Tutoring helps most with the step up from GCSE: A-levels demand independent learning, denser content, and exam technique that rewards structured argument or method-mark-aware working. Boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, CIE) diverge meaningfully, so match the tutor to the spec, especially in maths, sciences and modern languages where assessment differences are sharp.
