Dyslexia Assessment and 1-2-1 Tutoring
Direct contact: 07796263949
Is your child struggling with literacy, losing confidence in their abilities, or feeling like their written work doesn't reflect the great ideas in their head? A dyslexia assessment can help.
A dyslexia assessment typically takes around three hours and is designed to evaluate various aspects of a child's learning. The process involves examining both the child's cognitive abilities and their academic attainment to determine how their learning profile may be impacting their overall performance. Before the assessment begins, I gather detailed background information from the family and the school to build a comprehensive, holistic profile of the child. This ensures that I have a thorough understanding of the child’s strengths, challenges, and any relevant history, allowing me to complete the full diagnostic assessment.
The assessment itself can take place either at the child's school or in my home office, always conducted in a quiet, distraction-free environment to help the child feel comfortable and focused. This setting is crucial, as it allows me to gain the most accurate representation of the child’s abilities.
After the assessment, I meet with parents to discuss my findings, offering insights into the child’s strengths and areas of difficulty. I also provide a comprehensive written report, which parents can share with the school and any other agencies involved in the child's education.

Where does the assessment take place?
We offer flexible assessment options to suit your needs. The assessment can take place either at your child's school, where they feel comfortable and familiar, or at my home in Farnborough Village. This flexibility allows us to create an environment where your child feels at ease and ready to engage.
How does the Dyslexia diagnostic help my child at school?
A dyslexia diagnosis provides valuable insights that can lead to personalised learning strategies at school. With this information, teachers can implement tailored interventions, such as additional reading support, extra time on assignments, or specialised tools that make learning more accessible. These accommodations help your child overcome challenges and unlock their full academic potential.
What happens if my child is assessed but not showing signs of Dyslexia?
If the assessment shows that your child does not have dyslexia, the evaluation can still be incredibly useful. It may reveal other underlying challenges or learning preferences that could be affecting their literacy skills. The results can guide educators and parents in exploring alternative support strategies, ensuring your child gets the help they need to succeed.
