Dyslexia Tutoring That Teaches Reading Step by Step

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.

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.

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.

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. If the match is not right, we change tutors at no charge.

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

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.

Tutero's 1-on-1 dyslexia tutoring starts from A$65 per hour, and you only pay after each lesson has happened. There are no contracts, no upfront payments and no cancellation fees, and your child's first lesson is covered by a money-back guarantee.

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.

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.

Getting started is simple. Submit your request and a learning advisor will call you, usually the same day, to understand your child and hand-pick a tutor with the patience and structure to suit. The first lesson is covered by our money-back guarantee, so there is no risk in trying.
