Tutoring Students Who Have Dyslexia – The A Team Tuition Model
Tutoring Students Who Have Dyslexia – The A Team Tuition Model
Dyslexia manifests for students in several ways that makes a real impact on both their learning and how they respond to and engage with teaching practice. Tutors for learning difficulties such as dyslexia are primed with professional knowledge and real, workable strategies to assist students to find success and enjoyment with work that they may be having trouble with inside a mainstream classroom setting.
Tutors at A Team Tuition undergo extensive training and professional development as well as being encouraged to foster relationships with parents and carers to unpack what students require and where they are at with their learning. Our pedagogical approach also connects with the learning that is taking place within the mainstream classroom at school in the hope of fostering a relationship that is designed to promote success and empowerment.

The founder of A Team Tuition was, himself, diagnosed with ADHD while in school and was able to apply learned strategies to allow him to go on to be incredibly successful both in his own schooling and in his pursuits post-school. It was this very application of skills and his inherent success that spurred him on to create a pedagogical approach that allowed all students the opportunity to build on their learning no matter what stage they were at in terms of their educational and cognitive development.
