EPQ Dyslexia support tutors

3 UK tutors who teach Dyslexia support at EPQ.

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.

The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification taken alongside A-levels (typically in Year 12 or Year 13) and is worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own topic and produce either a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance accompanied by a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec (7993) is the largest by a wide margin (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (Dissertation P301, Investigation P302, Performance P303, Artefact P304), OCR (H856) and WJEC / Eduqas also offer it. Tutoring on EPQ is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching: research-question scoping, source evaluation and citation discipline, dissertation structure, statistical analysis where relevant, and viva preparation. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover the dissertation craft well.
