Success with Dyslexia Depends on Understanding and Addressing the Underlying Challenges
What’s getting in the way of your fine brain?
When supporting people with dyslexia, we consider our neurodevelopmental program an essential component of success and independence in learning.
Do You Sometimes Feel People Just Don’t Listen to You?
People labelled as dyslexic, dyspraxic, autistic or with ADHD often feel their ideas go unheard and underappreciated.
As the dyslexic-dyspraxic in the room I was a good problem solver. I always had a solution to offer. Unfortunately no one took my ideas seriously.
Our Approach to Neurodevelopment for Dyspraxia
We have developed a unique approach to supporting learners with dyspraxia offering an opportunity for growth and transformation.
Our personalized programs aim to turn the struggles associated with dyspraxia into strengths, guiding students not just to cope, but to flourish.
Things Dyslexic Students Struggle with and Their Hidden Superpowers
People with dyslexia often have surprising strengths which may be masked by their difficulties with ‘simple’ things
Let’s look at some of the things that learners with dyslexia struggle with, and then at their special skills.
Why Is My Child Always Behind
Why are they so slow, so messy, so disorganized? Why can’t they just get their stuff ready like other children?
Neurodiverse children with issues such as dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADHD, and autism often struggle to complete tasks on time. You’ll see this at school: perhaps they just take so much longer in class that they have to finish the task during break or take it home to finish it there.
Student Stories
While there are simply too many stories to list here, we’d like to share some of the transformations our students have gone through after working with Oxford Specialist Tutors.
Dyslexia
What it Is, challenges, how to overcome them
This is a comprehensive article covering the symptoms and challenges of dyslexia. Most importantly, at the end of the article, we go into detail about the most effective ways to support someone with dyslexia thrive in academics and in life.
Cloud Thinking
Is this a dyspraxic thinking style?
If your child often knows the answer but can’t explain how they arrived at it, they may be using “cloud thinking”—discover how a simple convergent mapping technique can help them organize their insights, communicate confidently, and reach their full potential. Is this your thinking style?

Holiday Meltdowns
How to have a happy holiday with a sensitive child who is easily overwhelmed
Holidays are always around the corner, and if you’re a parent or caregiver of a sensitive child who struggles to cope, you know you’re going to be dealing with some meltdowns. Let’s go over four causes for meltdowns, and seven things you can do to minimize those meltdowns by being better prepared.
Why Do Dyspraxics Have Difficulty With Driving – Challenges and Suggestions
Driving can be tough, especially for a learner with dyspraxia
If you’ve ever tried to teach or guide a new driver, especially a neurodiverse one, or if you, yourself, have struggled to learn to drive, you may have had to deal with some of the challenges described below. We’ll discuss some of the challenges and the reasons behind them and offer some suggestions.
How to Help a Procrastinator Get Work Done
This may apply to you, or perhaps to someone you know
Imagine this: You have an essay to write and you keep putting it off. You may be telling yourself that you should be doing it. You may discover (a little late) that you should have read something but now there’s barely enough time for that preparation. Perhaps you feel like this is such a big project!
What is it you would like to change about your dyspraxic child’s experience of life?
