Dyslexia Tutoring
It's possible that you've come across Learning Resource Centre because you live around Eastbourne and your child has been diagnosed with dyslexia. Maybe you're concerned that they're falling behind in reading, writing, or math and are looking for some help.
The Rose Report (2009) recommends early identification and intervention for children with dyslexic difficulties to help them reach their full potential. This may happen at school, but more likely you have noticed issues at home when you are reading with your child.
Many of the children I work with are struggling in class and looking at their peers and wondering, 'Why can't I do that?' Their self-esteem takes a hit and they become disengaged with learning.
As a parent of four dyslexic children I know the frustration that you feel. My goal is to provide each student with the opportunity to succeed and become more engaged in their learning journey by teaching them the necessary skills and strategies needed to help themselves.
How it works
I start with building rapport with your child - this may be at your home or in an informal session at the centre. Following a short assessment I will build an individual education plan using teaching resources and techniques best suited to your child.
​
​​Each session is planned for your child based on their identified needs. This will include working memory activities, phonics practice, spelling techniques and writing support.
​​
​
At the end of each session I will provide you with a progress report and take-home tasks to try at home.
​

The use of technology is key for many dyslexic children and I use a number of apps to consolidate learning. Every lesson is fun, multi-sensory to engaging to provide a stimulating and motivating learning environment.
