When parents ask us for names of specialist tutors, we always advice parents to speak to class teacher and if possible SENco and also to check the school’s SEN policy on Dyslexia. Some schools may carry out an assessment or ask advice from Learning Support Services, in our experience, this does not often happen.
Every school must have a SEND dyslexia policy which details the provision for dyslexic students, this should be on the school’s website. Ask your school‘s secretary if you cannot find it on website.
See our Directory of local Specialist Assessors /Tutors who are qualified to carry out dyslexia assessments and or tutoring.
The list includes the following information:
Assessors can assess and produce reports which help families to seek appropriate help in schools or when applying for exam arrangements. Some tutors are able to provide reports that can assist with the planning of individual learning programme. Any specific concerns and issues should be discussed and clarified with tutor. This will enable a choice of options to be considered.
Yorkshire Rose Dyslexia does not recommend any individual. It is the responsibility of the parent to check for themselves the credentials of the tutor. Yorkshire Rose Dyslexia cannot accept any responsibility for any advice or information given by any tutor on the list.
If you are a Yorkshire Rose Dyslexia Professional Member and hold a recognised dyslexia/SpLD qualification you also have the option to create a public profile on the Tutor/Assessor Directory. The fee to be a Professional Member is £30/year paid on a rolling debit basis and can be cancelled at any time.
I have worked in education as a secondary school English teacher for over twenty years in a range of settings. My experiences as a parent and classroom teacher motivated me to become a British Dyslexia accredited dyslexia teacher and assessor. I aim to provide a service that listens to an individual's needs and provide practical and relevant advice. Equipped with the right tools, an individual can lean into their strengths to fulfil their potential. As a passionate SEND advocate, I also work as a tutor and in a number of SEND schools for children with more complex needs.
