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.

More Information

At Defining Dyslexia we provide compassionate, accurate, and person-centred assessments for individuals with SEND, especially dyslexia. Our goal is simple — to open pathways to success through clarity, understanding, and practical recommendations.

We believe every individual deserves the chance to thrive academically, socially, and professionally. That’s why our assessments go beyond diagnosis. They highlight unique strengths, identify challenges, and equip individuals, families, and educators with strategies that make a real difference.

Our work doesn’t stop at assessment. We collaborate with families and educators to ensure insights lead to meaningful support. We offer guidance, resources, and ongoing advice to help translate assessment findings into effective action.

By demystifying dyslexia and celebrating neurodiversity, we foster inclusive learning environments. Through education, awareness, and first-class professional development, we are committed to helping individuals realise their full potential — turning challenges into opportunities for growth, confidence, and lifelong achievement.

Our assessments are available for both children and adults. In addition to dyslexia, we also offer assessments that can explore:

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder)
Other specific learning difficulties
Whether for study, work, or everyday life, our assessments provide clarity, practical strategies, and recommendations tailored to each individual.
