We observe the individual during the assessment to gain insight into their skills and challenges in real-time.
Results Analysis
After testing, we analyse the results to identify patterns and determine if dyslexia is present.
Initial Feedback Session
We offer a feedback session (over Teams or the phone) to explain the results so far and discuss the next steps, including potential intervention strategies.
Comprehensive Report
A detailed report is provided, outlining findings, strengths, weaknesses, and tailored recommendations for support.
Multisensory Tuition

Tailored Learning Plans
Each tutoring session is customised based on the student's specific strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences in collaboration with the student and their families.
Multisensory Techniques
- Visual: Use of pictorial materials, graphic organisers, and visual aids to enhance understanding and retention.
- Auditory: Incorporating phonics, music, and verbal storytelling to reinforce learning and improve phonological awareness.
- Kinaesthetic: Hands-on activities, such as letter formation with sand or playdough, to engage students physically and help them internalise concepts.
Structured Approach
- Sessions follow a structured format that builds on previously learned skills, ensuring a solid foundation for new concepts.
- Emphasis on repetition and overlearning to reinforce learning and boost confidence.
Continuous Assessment
- Regular monitoring of progress through informal assessments and observations to adapt teaching methods and materials as needed.
Supportive Learning Environment
- A nurturing and patient atmosphere where students feel safe to explore challenges and celebrate successes
