Dyslexia Tutoring That Makes Your Child Happier and More Confident at School

Every child with dyslexia learns differently. Some need the sounds taught again from the start, some need help getting good ideas onto the page, and all of them need one patient adult who never makes them feel slow. Tutero's tutors adapt each lesson to your child, keep the same weekly routine, and follow the Australian curriculum so school gets easier too.

FAQ

Is tutoring good for children with dyslexia?
plusminus

Yes, when it is one-on-one, explicit and consistent. Children with dyslexia do not pick reading up by exposure. They need the sounds, spelling patterns and rules taught directly and practised until they are automatic. A Tutero lesson gives your child a tutor's full attention, teaching in small steps with feedback on the spot, at a pace set by your child rather than by a classroom of 25.

How do Tutero's tutors teach reading and spelling?
plusminus

Explicitly and in order. Tutors teach letter-sound relationships, blending, syllable patterns and spelling rules directly, then practise them in real reading and writing until they stick. Lessons follow the same structure each week, so your child always knows what is coming and nothing is assumed. If your child already has strategies that work at school, tell your learning advisor and the tutor will build on them.

Which subjects can a dyslexia tutor help with?
plusminus

Any school subject from Prep to Year 12. Most families start with reading, spelling and writing, then add the subjects where the reading load is holding a child back: science reports, humanities essays, maths word problems. Tutors also help with organisation and study skills, which matter more each year as the reading piles up.

How does Tutero match my child with the right tutor?
plusminus

A learning advisor calls you first and asks about your child: their year level, their subjects, how dyslexia shows up for them, and what has and has not worked before. We then hand-pick a tutor with the patience and structure to suit, and your child keeps that same tutor every week.

Does online tutoring work for students with dyslexia?
plusminus

For most students with dyslexia it works very well. Lessons happen at home in a familiar space with no travel, and the tutor shares the screen so passages and words can be marked up together. Tutors teach on an interactive whiteboard, so your child is reading and writing, not just listening.

Do we need a formal dyslexia diagnosis to start?
plusminus

No. Many families come to Tutero while they are still waiting for an assessment, or because their child is struggling with reading and spelling without a formal diagnosis. Tell us what you see at home and at school and we will match accordingly.

How much does dyslexia tutoring cost with Tutero?
plusminus

Tutero's 1-on-1 dyslexia tutoring starts from A$65 an hour. You pay after each lesson, there are no contracts, and you can stop any time.

How often should my child have lessons?
plusminus

Most families book one lesson a week with the same tutor. Reading skills build fastest with short, regular practice between lessons, so your tutor will set a few minutes a day rather than a pile of homework. Senior students often add a second weekly lesson before assessments. Your learning advisor will suggest a starting point, and you can change it at any time.

Can dyslexia tutoring help with exams, NAPLAN and the ATAR?
plusminus

Yes. Tutors practise reading exam questions accurately, planning written answers and managing time, and they work with any provisions your school has approved. We support school assessments, NAPLAN, selective school tests, the IB Diploma and the senior certificates: VCE, HSC, QCE, WACE, SACE and TCE.

How do we get started?
plusminus

Getting started is simple. Submit your request and a learning advisor will call you within 24 hours to understand your child and hand-pick a tutor with the patience and structure to suit. You pay after each lesson, there are no contracts, and you can stop any time.
