Compassionate Tutoring for Every Kind of Mind
Specialised, multi-sensory tutoring for neurodivergent students — dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, and diverse learning profiles. Led by a registered neuroscientist and teacher who understands how different brains learn, with patience, structure, and genuine care.
Who This Program Is For
Our neurodiversity program supports students who learn differently — those with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, or other learning differences. We provide a calm, sensory-aware environment where your child is understood, not pressured, and where learning is built around their unique strengths.
Students with dyslexia or reading difficulties who need structured, multi-sensory literacy support
Students with dyscalculia or maths anxiety who need visual, concrete approaches to numeracy
Students with ADHD or autism who benefit from structured, sensory-aware, patient teaching
Key Benefits of This Program
Led by a Neuroscientist
Our program is led by a registered neuroscientist and teacher who understands how different brains process, store, and retrieve information.
Neuro-Affirming Approach
We celebrate different minds. Your child is never made to feel broken — we build on strengths and work with their brain, not against it.
Multi-Sensory Learning
Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways — we use all senses to anchor learning, the gold standard for dyslexia and diverse learners.
Structured Literacy (Orton-Gillingham)
Systematic, explicit, sequential phonics instruction — the evidence-based approach for students with dyslexia.
Calm, Sensory-Aware Centre
Face-to-face at 360 Manningham Road — a quiet, structured, low-distraction environment designed for focus.

What Parents Say
"My daughter went from dreading maths to asking for extra practice. The small classes mean she actually gets help when she's stuck. Best decision we made."
Sarah M.
Parent, Year 5
"The difference in my son's confidence is incredible. He's not just doing better in class — he actually enjoys learning now. The tutors genuinely care."
David L.

Neurodiversity & Dyslexia Tutoring — Frequently Asked Questions
What learning differences do you support?+
We support students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, and other diverse learning profiles. Our program is led by a registered neuroscientist and teacher who understands how different brains learn, and we tailor every session to your child's unique needs.
What is the Orton-Gillingham approach?+
Orton-Gillingham is a structured, explicit, multi-sensory approach to literacy instruction — the gold standard for students with dyslexia. It teaches phonics in a systematic sequence, using visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways to anchor learning.
How is this different from regular tutoring?+
Our neurodiversity program is led by a neuroscientist and registered teacher, not just a subject tutor. We understand how different brains process information, and we use evidence-based, multi-sensory methods in a calm, sensory-aware environment — not a one-size-fits-all classroom.
How big are the sessions?+
Sessions are 1-on-1 or very small groups (maximum 6), ensuring your child gets the individual attention, patience, and personalisation they need to thrive.
