University Dyslexia support tutors
1 of 1 UK tutor teaching Dyslexia support at University.
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.
University-level tutoring covers undergraduate and master's-stage support across UK and international degree programmes, ranging from foundational consolidation (first-year mathematics, programming, statistics) through to specialised dissertation and exam preparation. Demand concentrates around technical subjects (maths, engineering, computer science, economics, law, medicine), where assessment is unforgiving and lecture-hall pace leaves gaps. Tutoring helps most with conceptual blockers in core modules, with quantitative methods (econometrics, statistics, programming) that students from non-quant backgrounds struggle to self-teach, and with dissertation methodology and structure. Look for tutors with relevant postgraduate qualifications and ideally direct experience teaching or TA-ing the specific module type.
