Tutors & Assessors Directory
At Yorkshire Rose Dyslexia, we believe in a dyslexic-friendly society that enables all neurodiverse persons of all ages to reach their full potential.
About our Directory
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.
First step - ask your school!
We always advice parents to first speak to the class teacher and if possible SENco. You should also check the school’s SEN policy on Dyslexia. Some schools may carry out an assessment or ask advice from Learning Support Services but 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 their website.
Disclaimer
Yorkshire Rose Dyslexia does not recommend any specific individual. It is the responsibility of the parent to check for themselves the credentials of the tutor. We always ask and check credentials, certificate of insurance etc… for all assessors and tutors on our Directory but we cannot accept any responsibility for any advice or information given by any tutor on the list.

About Me
I have recently joined the NeroElevate team as a Dyslexia Assessor and am privileged to have a job that can make a such a difference to people's experience of education. I have been a schoolteacher for around 25 years, both in England and overseas; I have worked with learners of all ages, from primary up to adults. When my own son was diagnosed with dyslexia aged 13, after huge struggles learning to read and write, I saw the difference his diagnosis and support made to his confidence and learning. I decided that I wanted to train as specialist teacher and diagnostic assessor so that I could also make a difference to learners. I feel passionately that, with the right support, specific learning difficulties can be a 'superpower' that shouldn't stop anyone from achieving their goals in life. My son has gone on to higher education and is studying for a masters degree now, so it goes to show that you can go on to achieve your full potential with a little extra support! Our company can offer remote dyslexia assessments for people aged 8 years to adult, as well as identifying Dyspraxia/DCD and ADHD characteristics in people over 16 years of age (suitable for DSA applications). There are face-to-face options for York and Leeds - please get in touch to find out more. https://www.access2learn.co.uk/neuroe/
