GCSE Dyslexia support tutors
7 UK tutors who teach Dyslexia support at GCSE. £40–£150/hr · median £50
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.
GCSEs are sat in Year 11 (age 15-16), with most students taking 8-10 subjects. They're the load-bearing UK school qualification: the 9-1 graded exams that drive sixth-form admission, apprenticeship eligibility, and (via maths and English at grade 4 or 5) university and many job prerequisites. Tutoring demand peaks here. The biggest grade gains tend to come from exam-paper technique rather than further content. Students often know more than they show. Boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC, CIE) diverge on content and assessment, so tutor familiarity with the specific spec is meaningful in most subjects.
