Individual Tuition

The Dyslexia Association maintains a list of teachers in Dublin and many parts of the country who are willing to offer individual tuition. These are trained teachers who have also taken a course in teaching children and adults with dyslexia. It must be stressed that the Association's list is based solely on the educational qualifications of the teachers and is not a warranty in respect of any other matter whatever. The arrangement between student and teacher is a personal one and the Dyslexia Association does not accept liability in relation to this arrangement. In particular the Association is concerned that parents should be aware that the safety, well being and happiness of their child should be their first consideration in any arrangements they may enter into with a teacher.

DAI supports are only available to members of the association. If you would like further information on what is available in your own area, please send us the annual membership fee (40 Euro), your name, address and telephone number, your child's name and age and the name of the psychologist who diagnosed your child as having dyslexia. Please clearly state that you are requesting information on our tutorial system. When we have received this information, we will write back to you with all the relevant information including specific contacts for what is available in your own area in terms of teachers who offer one-to-one tuition, contacts for local workshops (group classes), etc. The teaching programme is determined by the teacher on the basis of the information contained in the psychological report.

The time, duration, frequency and location of tutorial sessions is agreed between client and teacher. Tutorials are paid for by the client directly to the tutor. The usual fee for individual tuition is currently €30 to €35 (euros) per hour, though charges may vary. Tuition is usually given for one hour per week after school hours. Classes should be paid for in advance and missed classes are charged for unless sufficient notice is given.
