What is Multi-Sensory Learning?

Multi-sensory learning is an evidence-based teaching approach designed to support individuals with dyslexia. It engages multiple senses—sight, hearing, touch, and movement—to enhance information processing and retention.

Dyslexia affects the brain’s ability to process language, creating challenges with decoding words, spelling, and writing. Multi-sensory techniques help by connecting different sensory pathways, which strengthens memory and learning.

For example, students might learn to read and spell by:

  • Seeing letters or words written on a page.

  • Hearing the sounds of letters and words spoken aloud.

  • Touching or tracing letters with their fingers in sand or on textured materials.

  • Using movement by writing letters in the air or on a whiteboard.

By engaging these sensory pathways simultaneously, multi-sensory learning fosters a deeper understanding of language and equips dyslexic learners with essential reading and writing skills.

This approach is foundational to structured literacy programs such as Alpha to Omega or Orton-Gillingham, which are highly effective in building confidence and success in dyslexic learners.

sessions must be booked and paid for in blocks of 4 in advance.

Effective study skills are essential for learners with dyslexia to succeed academically. Dyslexia can make tasks like reading, writing, organising, and remembering information more challenging, but with the right strategies students can thrive.

Here are some key study skills that support dyslexic learners:

• Organisational Tools: Using planners, checklists, and colour-coded folders to keep track of assignments and deadlines. Breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps is also helpful.

• Time Management: Creating a structured study schedule with regular breaks to maintain focus and avoid overwhelm.

• Multisensory Techniques: Incorporating methods like reading notes aloud, using diagrams or mind maps, and writing key points on index cards to engage multiple senses and improve memory.

• Assistive Technology: Tools like text-to-speech software, audiobooks, and digital note-taking apps can help dyslexic learners process information more efficiently.

• Active Reading Strategies: Highlighting key points, summarising passages, and using sticky notes to jot down ideas can make reading more interactive and manageable.

• Exam Preparation: Practicing past papers, using flashcards, and learning memory techniques, such as mnemonics, can improve recall and build confidence.

By tailoring study strategies to their unique needs, dyslexic learners can develop independence, boost their confidence, and unlock their full potential.

When it comes to specialist tuition for dyslexia and additional needs, both in-person and remote sessions offer unique benefits. Here’s a closer look at the advantages of remote tuition and why it might be the perfect choice for you, or your child.


The Benefits of Specialist Remote Tuition

1. Specialist Support from Anywhere
Remote tuition allows students to access professional, dyslexia-focused support no matter where they are. Whether you’re in a rural area or prefer the convenience of learning from home, remote sessions ensure you, or your child receives the expert help they need without geographical limitations.

2. Personalised, Multisensory Approach
Each lesson is tailored to your child’s specific needs, incorporating multisensory strategies proven to support learners with dyslexia. These engaging techniques make learning more effective and enjoyable.

3. Convenience and Comfort
Remote sessions take place in the comfort of your home, eliminating travel stress and saving time for families. This relaxed setting helps students stay focused and at ease.

4. Improved Confidence and Independence
Learning in a familiar environment often boosts students' confidence. Remote tuition also encourages independence while maintaining structured and supportive guidance.

5. Interactive Tools and Resources
Sessions include a variety of interactive tools, such as Wordshark and other engaging activities, to make learning both fun and effective.

6. Skill Development in Typing and IT
Remote learning naturally enhances children’s typing and IT skills, equipping them with valuable abilities for both academic and future career success.

7. Flexible Scheduling
Remote tuition provides greater flexibility, making it easier to fit lessons around busy family schedules and other commitments.

8. Cost-Effective Option
Without the need for travel, remote tuition saves time and money while still delivering high-quality, professional support.


Why Choose Remote Tuition?

Remote tuition combines expert, personalised teaching with convenience and flexibility, helping students build essential skills, confidence, and a love of learning—all from the comfort of their home. If you’re seeking an accessible and effective way to support your child’s learning journey, remote sessions may be the perfect fit.

Why Choose In-Person Tuition?

In-person tuition is an excellent choice for students who thrive on face-to-face engagement, benefit from hands-on learning, or need a structured and distraction-free environment. It offers personalised attention and direct support, ensuring a rich, interactive learning experience tailored to your child’s needs.
