Dyslexia Awareness

Understanding Dyslexia: Spotting the Signs, Supporting Your Child

Wednesday 28 October 2026 · 7:00 PM (UK time)

A clear, practical look at what dyslexia can look like day-to-day, and simple ways to support your child's confidence and literacy at home.

Save my free spot

Seeing the world through their eyes.

My approach starts with understanding how your child experiences learning, not deciding how they should. Trust and confidence come before progress, so every plan is shaped around that specific young person's mind, interests and pace. Support doesn't stop with the child either; parents and carers need space too, and I'm here for the whole family, not just the sessions.

About me

Hi, I'm Natasha. I love connecting with young people and their families. I have 20 years of teaching experience, and over the past ten years my passion has been working with young people with SEN.

That shift happened because I kept seeing students with SEN not being fully understood in mainstream schools, and parents growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of communication and support available to them. I wanted to be part of changing that.

What matters most to me is getting to know the young person, building trust, and finding ways to support them that actually work not a one-size-fits-all approach, but sessions built around each individual's personality, strengths and challenges.

I also support the whole family, not just the young person including weekly webinars sharing interesting facts and updates for parents navigating SEN.

My aim is simple: to create a space where young people feel comfortable, understood and supported. If this sounds like the right approach for your young person, I'd love to hear from you.

Let's work together ♥

Who I support

Tutoring for SEN young people aged 6–25, tailored to the specific way each child/ young person learns best.

EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance)

Gentle, low-pressure re-engagement with learning, building confidence and routine at a pace that respects the anxiety behind the avoidance.

PDA (Pathological/Pervasive Demand Avoidance)

Flexible, collaborative approaches that reduce the feeling of demand, using choice, indirect language and negotiation to keep learning accessible.

Dyslexia & literacy

Structured, multi-sensory approaches to reading, spelling and written expression, at a pace that builds confidence rather than pressure.

Dyscalculia & numeracy

Concrete, visual methods for building number sense before moving to abstract maths concepts.

Autism spectrum

Predictable session structure, clear communication, and content connected to individual interests.

ADHD & attention differences

Shorter, high-engagement blocks with movement breaks and external structure for focus and follow-through.

Processing & working memory

Chunked instructions, repetition built into the plan, and tools that reduce the load on memory during learning.

Parent/Carer Support

We offer a range of support for parents and carers of children with SEN, including informative webinars and welcoming parent support groups. A safe space to connect, share experiences and access helpful advice.

Training for LSAs & SENCOs

Practical, needs-led training for school staff, helping Learning Support Assistants and SENCOs build confidence in supporting SEN pupils day-to-day.

EHCP coordination support

Navigating an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) can feel overwhelming — you don't have to do it alone.

I offer free, no-obligation support helping families understand and navigate the EHCP process — from what to include in a request or application, to preparing for an annual review. This is offered as part of my commitment to supporting the whole family, not just the young person.

If your situation needs more in-depth support — such as drafting a formal appeal or representation at tribunal — I can point you toward specialist services who handle this. Please note that any further support of this kind would be arranged and charged directly by that service provider, separate from my own services.

New — live webinar series

Understanding Your Child: a 7-week parent webinar series

A live, small-group series for parents and carers wanting to understand the "why" behind their child's behaviour — with practical strategies to try each week.

Starts Monday 11 January 2027 · £199 introductory price · limited spaces

Please note: this series shares knowledge and lived tutoring experience, not a diagnosis. It doesn't replace advice from your GP, paediatrician, educational psychologist, or your child's school SENCO.

Week 1 · EBSA

Why school avoidance is usually anxiety wearing the mask of defiance, and how to rebuild routine without forcing it.

Week 2 · PDA

Understanding demand avoidance from the inside, and using choice and collaboration instead of instruction.

Week 3 · Dyslexia & literacy

What's happening with phonological processing, and multi-sensory approaches that build confidence, not pressure.

Week 4 · Dyscalculia & numeracy

Why number sense can be genuinely difficult, and concrete ways to build it before moving to abstract maths.

Week 5 · Autism

Routine, predictability and interests as tools for learning, not just personality traits to work around.

Week 6 · ADHD & attention

Working with the ADHD brain's natural rhythm — shorter blocks, movement, and external structure.

Week 7 · Processing & working memory

Chunking, repetition and reducing load, so instructions actually land and stick.

Live on Zoom, small group

Sessions run 11, 18 & 25 January and 1 & 8 February, skip the February half-term week, then finish on 22 February and 1 March. Around 75 minutes each, with time for questions. If you miss one, you'll get the recording. Spaces are kept small — get in touch to hold yours.

Test your knowledge: behaviours in SEN young people

A short, informal quiz on some of the behaviours I see and work with day to day.

Please note: I am not a doctor, psychologist or clinician, and this quiz is not a diagnostic tool. It's simply a way to share some of the knowledge and lived experience I draw on in my tutoring practice. If you have concerns about your child, please speak to your GP, paediatrician, an educational psychologist, or your child's school SENCO.
Question 1 of 7

Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more. Remember — every SEN young person is different, and this quiz only scratches the surface.

How sessions work

A clear, unhurried start so both you and your child know what to expect before committing to anything.

1

Free 15-minute call

We talk through your child's needs, any existing reports or EHCP targets, and what you're hoping tutoring will help with.

2

Getting-to-know-you session

A relaxed first session to understand how your child learns, what motivates them, and what to avoid.

3

A plan built around them

You'll get a simple written plan covering goals, session structure, and how progress will be tracked.

4

Regular sessions & check-ins

Weekly or fortnightly sessions, with short parent updates and a full review every half-term.

In-person or online — whichever suits your child

Home visits and online sessions are both available, and many families move between the two depending on the week. Online sessions use simple, distraction-light tools chosen with sensory needs in mind.

Questions parents ask

How do you support children who struggle with attention or anxiety?

I understand that learning can sometimes feel overwhelming for children who experience anxiety or find it difficult to concentrate. I take the time to get to know each child and understand what helps them feel comfortable and supported. With patience, encouragement, flexible learning and breaks when needed, I create a calm space where children can build confidence and learn at their own pace.

My child gets anxious about new people and new places. How do you handle that?

The first session is unhurried and low-pressure — no assessment, just getting to know each other. We go at your child's pace, and sessions can start shorter if that helps.

Do you work alongside my child's school, EHCP or other professionals?

Yes. I'm happy to liaise with SENCOs and other professionals involved in your child's support, align sessions with existing EHCP targets, and share updates that can feed into annual reviews where useful. Any updates are only shared with your permission, so everyone works towards the same goals for your child.

What are your fees and cancellation policy?

Fees depend on session length and format this is covered in the free consultation, along with a clear cancellation policy so there are no surprises.

From families we've worked with

“My grandson had several tutors before Natasha, and then everything changed. Her calm and caring nature helped him feel safe enough to be himself and express how he felt. She took the time to get to know him, understand how he learns, and adapt her teaching to suit him. Natasha has been an absolute blessing, and I’m so grateful that he has finally found someone he trusts and feels comfortable learning with.”

— Carer of a teenager, ADHD support

“Natasha took the time to truly get to know my daughter. Initially, she didn’t want to be home educated and refused to engage, but Natasha never gave up. She discovered the things she loved and used these interests to create learning that felt meaningful and enjoyable for her.”

— Parent, autism & literacy support

“My grandson had been refusing school for a long time, and I struggled to find someone who truly understood his needs and how he learns. Natasha never gave up. She continued to turn up, even though he refused to leave his room. Eventually, she wrote him a letter explaining why she wanted to meet him, and he finally felt safe enough to let her in. From there, everything changed. Natasha has not only supported my grandson but has also given me a safe space to talk, listen and be heard during some very difficult times. Her patience, understanding and genuine care have been invaluable to us both.”

Safeguarding & policies

Clear practices, in place from day one.

Safeguarding

Enhanced DBS check held and renewed. Safeguarding training completed annually and reviewed with any concerns raised through the proper channels.

Data & privacy

Any reports, assessments or EHCP information shared with me are stored securely and only used to plan your child's sessions.

Insurance

Fully insured for both in-person and online tutoring, with policy documents available on request.

DBS check & training

I hold an Enhanced DBS check, obtained through a DBS umbrella body, and renewed regularly. I complete safeguarding training annually so my knowledge of best practice stays current. I'm happy to show parents my up-to-date DBS certificate before we begin working together, and training records are available on request.

Lone working

Sessions are usually 1:1, either in your home or online, so I follow safer working practice throughout:

  • A parent or carer is present in the home, or nearby and contactable, for all in-person sessions — you're always welcome to sit in
  • Where possible, sessions take place in a room with the door open and curtains open, at a desk rather than a sofa or bedroom
  • Session times, locations and any changes are agreed and confirmed with parents in advance
  • Online sessions are video-on and strictly 1:1 with the young person, with a parent able to join at any point; if a session takes place from a bedroom, the background is blurred
  • I don't meet a child anywhere other than the agreed setting, and I don't transport a child at any time
Reporting procedures

If I have any concern about a child's welfare, I follow NSPCC guidance on responding to concerns:

  • If a child is in immediate danger, I contact the police on 999 straightaway
  • If I'm worried but there's no immediate danger, I record what I've observed and contact the NSPCC Helpline (0808 800 5000) for advice, and/or the relevant local authority children's services team
  • Where appropriate, I also inform the child's school, since they may already be supporting the family or can act on the information alongside me
  • I never promise a child that something they've told me can stay secret — I explain gently that I need to share it with someone who can help
Raising a concern

If you ever have a concern about a session or my conduct, please contact me directly first at natasha-gayle@soullutions-consultancy.co.uk. If you'd rather not raise it with me directly, you can contact your local authority's Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO) — the statutory contact for concerns about anyone who works with children, including self-employed tutors. Your local authority's children's services website will have their contact details. The NSPCC Helpline (0808 800 5000) can also advise you on next steps if you're not sure where to start.
