GENERAL FAQs

What are your fees?

Specialist tutoring is £60 per hour.

Fees are paid via bank transfer half-termly and 24 hours in advance of the first session.

All services are provided at the assessor’s home office.

What happens if I cannot attend a planned session?

 

If you are unable to attend an appointment because your child is unwell, I require a minimum of 24 hours notice. I am unable to carry session payments forward for any other reason. In the case of non-attendance the full session fee will be charged.

To allow Beyond Assessment to offer you and others a professional and consistent service, a commitment to an appointment is required. Each session is personalised to the individual, and resources are pre-prepared for our appointment together.

What are your safeguarding procedures and can I leave my child with you during tuition?

 

I hold an Enhanced DBS Safeguarding Certificate, Certificate No: 001718153868.

For my safeguarding, it is a requirement that a parent/carer stays in the interconnecting waiting room.

Please read my Safeguarding Policy.

How do I book?

I would be very happy to talk about how I can help you via email or telephone (I aim to answer all enquiries within 24 hours).

DYSLEXIA FAQs

 

What is dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling:

  • Characteristic features of dyslexia are difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory and verbal processing speed.

  • Dyslexia occurs across the range of intellectual abilities.

  • It is best thought of as a continuum, not a distinct category, and there are no clear cut-off points.

  • Co-occurring difficulties may be seen in aspects of language, motor co-ordination, mental calculation, concentration and personal organisation, but these are not, by themselves, markers of dyslexia.

  • A good indication of the severity and persistence of dyslexic difficulties can be gained by examining how the individual responds or has responded to well-founded intervention.

From ‘Identifying and Teaching Children and Young People with Dyslexia and Literacy Difficulties: An independent report from Sir Jim Rose to the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, June 2009’, p.31. Retrieved from the The Dyslexia-SpLD-Trust and available under License Open Government Licence.

 

What are specific learning difficulties (SpLD’s)?

A specific learning difficulty (SpLD) is a difference or difficulty with some particular aspects of learning. The most common SpLD’s are Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Attention Deficit Disorder / Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia.
