Taking a bit longer to absorb, sort or hold onto spoken words or written text.

Difficulty with reading, writing and spelling is never a measure of a child's intelligence — it is simply a reflection of how their brain processes language. Yet when these literacy barriers mask a child's natural curiosity, everyday learning can quickly become an uphill struggle.
If this sounds familiar, your child is far from alone. According to the British Dyslexia Association, around 10% of the UK population is dyslexic. It is entirely possible for a bright, inquisitive child to understand complex ideas effortlessly while finding it difficult to read, write or demonstrate that knowledge on paper.
At Ditton Dyslexia, I believe in looking beyond the struggle to understand the individual. I nurture each child's natural strengths and provide the targeted tools they need to overcome literacy and confidence barriers.

Experiencing extra hurdles with reading fluency, spelling and getting thoughts down on paper.
Finding it tricky to remember multi-step instructions, list details or recall facts on the spot.

The session takes place, with verbal feedback the same day, a written report within two weeks and a one-hour follow-up consultation.
We would like to thank Mrs Krishnan for all her help and support over the few years. She is an exceptional tutor who really cares about her students. My son always comes out of her lesson smiling and feeling more confident. Thank you!
Your skills in teaching a very active learner and holding his attention throughout the course of the session was most impressive, which was due not only to your careful planning but also to the setting of high expectations (which he wanted to live up to) and adapting in the moment to suit his needs. You also go from strength to strength in your assessment skills, having shown care and insights in reviewing background information, planning the session, administering tests, and writing a thoughtful, sensitive report. Well done Ranjani
