Dyslexia: Tutorial Support
Tutorial support for students with dyslexia involves helping to focus study skills on the tasks that the dyslexic student struggles with. It does not involve the tutor doing the work for the student.
In some cases, people who are dyslexic find it hard to think about, for instance, how to tackle an assignment or an essay without someone to talk the assignment through with. As a dyslexia tutor, Gill Hebb helps the dyslexic student to talk through the assignment, asking probing questions about what the students thoughts and opinions are about the assignment.
Further, someone who is dyslexic may find it hard to be able to write down their own thoughts on what the key components that the assignment requires of them. As a dyslexic tutor, Gill Hebb writes down the words the student uses to capture the students thoughts and opinions are about the assignment.
Distractability is a key component of dyslexia, and Gill Hebb also employs some 'project management' skills to help keep the dyslexic student on track. On occasions, this may seem to the student that they are being told to restrict their actions, but usually on reflection the student eventually becomes aware that the line of action they were taking was not pertinant to completing the assignment.
For others with dyslexia, it is sometimes necessary to review their revision strategies, essay writing skills, or note taking and organisation of their hours of study. All of these things are comprehensively addressed by Gill Hebb in Dyslexia Support Tutorials.
In this time of modern technology, it is possible to receive tutorial support to this end, using internet meeting rooms, and telephone, as well as face to face. I have worked with students in Tonbridge, Exeter, Manchester, Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Wales, Oxford with great success.
Rates for tutorial support are available on request from gill.hebb@btopenworld.com.
