The British Dyslexia Association (2007) denotes that, Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that mainly affects the development of literacy and language related skills. It is likely to be present at birth and to be life-long in its effects. It is characterised by difficulties with phonological processing, rapid naming, working memory, processing speed, and the automatic development of skills that may not match up to an individual’s other cognitive abilities. It tends to be resistant to conventional teaching methods but its effect can be mitigated by appropriately specific intervention, including the application of information technology and supportive counselling.

TESTIMONIALS  

“My son is 10 and in year 5. Although very strong in the Maths and Science side of the curriculum, it was clear that he was falling behind in English – and having followed this up, we received a formal report stating that he had both dysgraphia and dyslexia. Although some individual help was offered at school, this was viewed very negatively by my son – so we looked for alternatives and , following recommendation from the Cornwall Dyslexia Association, found Rachel!

Rachel now comes to tutor my son once a week at home – their sessions are relaxed, fun and totally tailor made. Rachel makes the learning process fun – and it is much easier for my son to see his progress from week to week under the guidance of Rachel’s trained eye. We are so glad we found Rachel – I would highly recommend her to any parent and child in a similar situation”

Thank you so much, to say the report was useful would be an understatement. Finally we can help xxxx progress through her education and life in a more positive and understanding way. 


Stephanie has been my daughter’s dyslexia and dyspraxia tutor for the past 5 years. She was key to assisting in the diagnosis of my daughter’s dyspraxia providing invaluable advice and guidance. She then put in place a program to assist with her cognitive learning to help her cope with dyspraxia and dyslexia in both the school and at home. Stephanie has been invaluable as a tutor and advisor to both my daughter and our family. Stephanie continues to see our daughter regularly and her expertise in teaching, counselling, and ensuring our daughter both progresses and feels more confident in her abilities has been instrumental. I cannot recommend her enough!

 Rachel has been tutoring our daughter for the last 2 years supporting her in her English subjects. Rachel has a calm and supportive approach to teaching and has built up a good relationship with our daughter who is benefiting from the 1:1 weekly sessions. Rachel has very good understanding of how to teach pupils with extra learning needs and is therefore able to adapt her teaching techniques to better support the needs of the pupil. We are looking forward to Rachel continuing to work with our daughter through her GCSEs and with her dyslexia support, helping her reach her academic goals.

   University Help

I just wanted to let you know that thanks to your report the university have offered me the opportunity to retake the modules I failed in order to progress to my final year in 23/24. The report gave me all the evidence I needed to support my case and was truly beautifully written. I was touched personally by the final paragraph of the conformation of diagnostic decision. 

This gave me a huge boost in self belief and I feel it really came through in my appeal so thank you ever so much. 

I know as a professional, you probably see this as just doing your job but if it wasn't for your willingness to shuffle things around to get me assessed and have the report done quickly, I would have been dropped from my course. Not only have I been offered the best outcome I could have hoped for, but I will also have access to the help I need to do the best I can.

 

I feel so lucky to have got through to you and hope others in your field are learning from you so more students can benefit as I have.
