Finding the right tutor for your child can feel overwhelming, especially when your child has unique learning needs such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, or ADD. You want someone highly qualified, deeply understanding, and capable of delivering tailored, one-to-one support that boosts confidence and academic success.

As a private SEN tutor in Reading, Basingstoke, Newbury and London, specialising in 1:1 academic support for neurodiverse children and supporting families online across the UK, here’s my practical guide to help you find the best possible match for your child.

Are you concerned your child might be struggling with learning despite their obvious potential? Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs) affect approximately 10% of the population, yet many children go undiagnosed. This guide helps parents identify the signs of dyslexia and other co-occurring difficulties, provides practical support strategies, and offers resources to help your child thrive rather than just survive in their educational journey. Understanding your child's unique learning profile isn't about focusing on weaknesses—it's about unlocking their remarkable potential through early intervention and targeted support.
