In the UK, dyslexia is recognised as a specific learning difficulty (SpLD) that primarily affects skills involved in reading, writing, and spelling.
It is not linked to intelligence but relates to how individuals process information, often struggling with phonological awareness, verbal memory, and rapid processing skills.
Dyslexia is a lifelong condition that can vary in severity, and people with dyslexia may also have strengths in areas like creativity and problem-solving.
The British Dyslexia Association highlights that early identification and support can help manage its effects, with tailored teaching approaches and accommodations often proving beneficial.
At Esher Dyslexia Assessment and Learning, our mission is to offer accessible, specialist assessments that help students and parents understand learning differences, including providing an accurate Dyslexia diagnosis where appropriate. We also guide families on the next steps for further investigation and support. Alongside our assessments, we provide personalised, expert tutoring for children diagnosed with Dyslexia or those experiencing literacy challenges. Our purpose is to collaborate with you and empower your child, setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals to foster consistent progress and unlock your child’s full potential.
Specialist Assessments can lead to a formal Dyslexia diagnosis (where appropriate). This process involves some initial planning prior to the assessment itself - a detailed questionnaire for both parents and the school, as well as ensuring that your child has current hearing and eyesight tests.
Assessments last about three hours.
We take a holistic approach to tuition, focusing not only on academic achievement but also on personal growth and development. Our tutor works closely with students to help them develop the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in school and in later life.
Tuition sessions last for up to one hour.
Our Specialist Assessor and tutor is Imogen Howat. She has a BA Hons degree in Psychology from the University of Durham. She did all of her specialist training with the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity. She holds a Level 5 Diploma as well as a Level 7 Diploma in Teaching and Assessing Learners with Dyslexia/SpLDs. She is a certified Assessor
(APC certified with PATOSS).
Specialist Assessments: We offer Specialist Asessments for Dyslexia for children up to the age of 16, leading to a diagnosis (where appropriate). These last approximately 3 hours.
Specialist Tutoring: We offer tailored tutoring sessions of up to one hour, designed to meet the specific needs of each student. Your child does not need to have a formal diagnosis to benefit from these sessions. Tutoring can take place at my home, the student’s home, or at their school, with school approval.
