IGCSE Dyslexia support tutors
1 of 1 UK tutor teaching Dyslexia support at IGCSE.
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.
IGCSE (International GCSE) is offered by Cambridge International (CIE) and Edexcel International, and is taken by international-school students worldwide and by some UK independent schools that prefer the IGCSE syllabus to GCSE in particular subjects (often maths and the sciences, where IGCSE retains harder content). Universities treat IGCSE and GCSE as equivalent. Tutoring needs are similar to GCSE — exam-paper technique, content consolidation, board-specific past-paper practice — but the spec differences are real, especially in maths and the sciences. Match the tutor to the actual board (CIE vs Edexcel International) and the year of the spec being taught.
