Explore new ways of learning with Specialist SpLD Tutors.
Tuition
We provide tuition for those post 16 (in education, training or working) who have SpLD Learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, Autism, ADHD to mention a few.
Tuition is delivered on a 1:1 basis either remotely or face to face (location can be specified by the service use), if support is required face to face.
Building on assessment information our highly trained SpLD Specialist Tutors will identify key strengths as well as areas where support is needed. This may be for example, in literacy, numeracy, organisational skills, memory, processing to mention a few areas of need.
An individualised program is then developed drawing on a wide range of study skill strategies and techniques.
What can tuition provide?
- Multi-sensory learning activities that are tailored to the learner (teaching involving multiple senses, including hearing, sight and movement, to help develop skills).
- Support for specific needs including reading, spelling, writing, comprehension, mathematics, organisation, time management and memory.
- Activities and strategies to boost self confidence.
- Support for specific tasks or assignments e.g. at work or in exams.
- Help to improve skills in writing reports, assignments and assessments.
- Exam, training or work-based study support.
What happens when tuition starts?
An individual learning plan will be devised to meet your specific requirements. This learning plan will be reviewed regularly to assess progress.
All tuition or coaching is learner-centred and is focused on the individual requirements of the learner at their stage on the educational journey.
