Specialist
Tuition Specialist Tuition Specialist Tuition is available for dyslexic individuals of all ages. Teaching
programmes are devised for each individual based on assessment. Study Skills Tuition may be arranged
in intensive, individualised, programmes. The Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre
(HADC) employs a team of
specialist teachers who have trained in teaching both children and adults
with Specific Learning Difficulties. Tuition can be arranged through the
Centre to take place at school, college or at the Centre. For tuition at a school or college,
we require a minimum number of pupils to be taught on the same day. An individualised approach is
adopted for all tuition and is not restricted to any particular method. A
multi-sensory teaching programme is devised for each pupil. Auditory and
visual skills are considered so that teaching is directed to building on
strengths whilst improving weak areas. Poor motor co-ordination and speech
and language difficulties are also taken into account. Why Choose a "Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre Approved Teacher"? ·

A young client receiving specialist
attention from one of our teachers Tuition normally takes place in
school. Every effort is made to arrange the
tuition so that it causes the minimum disruption to your child's curriculum. Working
with Schools Specialist tuition aims to help
dyslexic students benefit from their normal schooling and to this end our
teachers work as closely as possible with class teachers. Support throughout
the curriculum is as necessary as literacy training. Study
Skills and Mathematics As the dyslexic student gets older,
study skills become increasingly necessary for effective learning. Techniques
can be taught to aid note-taking, memory, proof-reading, revision,
organisation, advanced reading, and learning through listening and debating.
Mathematics may be a source of additional difficulty and some of our teachers
specialise in numeracy problems. Building
Self-Esteem Many dyslexic students have
experienced failure. Building self-esteem and successful learning strategies
is an integral part of every lesson. Parents’
Support Parents' support is essential. We work to keep close
contact between parents and specialist teachers. Reports are sent at the end
of each term. Senior staff are available at the Centre to discuss any queries
or problems that arise prior to or during the teaching programme. We also offer Parents' Courses Designed to help parents support their children, courses
for Parents are subsidised by our Bursary Fund. Other short courses for children and students are run
during holiday time. Details of these and all our other services can be found
