National 5 Dyslexia support tutors

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.
