Welcome to D&D Focus. With over 20 years of experience teaching, we are your trusted partner in providing specialist dyslexia and dyscalculia tuition and assessments. Our highly qualified and experienced teachers and assessors possess Level 7 postgraduate certificates in dyslexia or dyscalculia, alongside teaching qualifications. This represents the highest level of training available for dyslexia specialists, setting us apart from other SEN teachers. Our group tuition classes provide a cost effective solution for high quality specialist tuition using evidence based interventions and resources that deliver outstanding results.
At D&D Focus, we believe students should not be limited by dyslexia or any other specific learning difficulty but encouraged to follow their dreams as the mind is powerful and can overcome obstacles. Through our personalised one-to-one or dynamic tuition groups, we create an environment where students can thrive and make excellent progress. Additionally, we offer comprehensive diagnostic assessments for dyslexia and dyscalculia with experienced assessors, utilising the most cutting-edge assessment materials available.
Our assessments go beyond identifying weaknesses; they highlight strengths and provide valuable recommendations tailored to meet each student's individual needs. Our highly comprehensive reports guide schools, specialist teachers, and families in supporting students' progress. We ensure that the assessment process is conducted in a relaxed environment, where students feel comfortable, engaged, and leave with a sense of accomplishment and pride.
At D&D Focus, we are dedicated to empowering parents with our online courses which will enable you to understand dyslexia, connect more deeply with your child, and provide support using simple effective strategies. Our expertise, passion, and commitment will make sure your child overcomes obstacles and fulfils their full potential. Together, we can transform lives, one mind at a time.

No more struggling under a cloud of doom. Our one-to-one and online tuition groups are designed with your child's success in mind.

At D&D Focus, we set high expectations for all our learners. Our focus extends beyond subject matter mastery; we prioritise the development of metacognition, enabling students to understand how they learn best. Social and emotional support is important for learners with dyslexia. Working with other students in a supportive learning environment and by fostering a positive attitude towards learning, we create an environment where self-confidence and self-esteem thrive. Witnessing the joy and happiness that success brings to our students is our greatest reward.

Our online tuition groups are meticulously designed to address specific areas that students with dyslexia struggle with. We understand the core skills that require development, and our carefully structured lessons focus on strengthening these foundations. Students will complete a baseline assessment so progress can be measured and have an opportunity to meet and get to know their teacher before group tuition classes start. Through quality first teaching techniques, we provide support for cognitive weaknesses while creating opportunities for over-learning. Our approach emphasises metacognitive awareness, fostering autonomy so that new skills can be effectively transferred into the classroom.
At D&D Focus, we believe in transparency and collaboration with parents. We provide detailed information about lesson content and the specific skills being developed. This information can be shared with class teachers, allowing for seamless integration and reinforcement of new skills. As parents, you can actively monitor your child's progress and witness the newfound skills in action as they complete homework. Individual constructive feedback is provided to students and parents are updated at the end of each term.
