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.

My name is Siobhan Doyle. I have worked within education since 1997 in various roles but always with a strong and persistent interest in assisting learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). I am dedicated to helping those with difficulties achieve their full potential. I offer a friendly and reliable service with the aim of identifying barriers to learning. I provide practical and sensible advice and recommendations to ensure that children and young people, their parents and those working with them understand the steps that need to be taken for successful learning, progress and achievement to take place.
My Experience:
25+ years working in education as teacher, specialist dyslexia assessor and tutor, SENDCo, SEND consultant, assistant educational psychologist and education officer for a local authority.
20+ years working solely with children and young people with SEND, including those with Statements, Education, Health and Care Plans, School Support, in both mainstream and specialist provision.
