Lessons to support your child with dyslexia or dyscalculia
Specialist support
The Education Pitstop provides specialist support which is individually adapted to each child’s strengths and weaknesses. Harnessing their strengths to overcome their weakness brings them a huge sense of relief. Suddenly information which had previously felt overwhelming is simplified and manageable.
As concepts begin to click and they learn strategies, their self-esteem improves and they realise that although they find some things more tricky than other people, it is due to the different way that their brain processes information, and that brings with it a unique set of strengths.
Personalised learning
Lessons are completely individualised for each student. Before working with a new student, I initially run an educational assessment. If the student has already had a full diagnostic assessment, I can usually use that information instead.
Lessons last for 50 minutes and are arranged in blocks, usually consisting of five lessons at a time. Students who are signed up for a block of lessons have priority for booking the next block but are under no obligation to do so.
Lessons take place in my garden office in Kegworth, Leicestershire.
