Learning Difficulty Support in Loganholme
Specialist, evidence-informed tutoring for dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia and related learning difficulties — led by a registered special-education teacher.
Many bright, capable children struggle at school because of a specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia (reading and spelling), dyscalculia (number and maths) or dysgraphia (writing) — not because of effort or intelligence.
At 10/10 Tutoring in Loganholme, our support for learning difficulties is led by a registered special-education teacher and uses structured, evidence-informed methods to rebuild foundations, restore confidence and help each child make real progress.
Signs a Child May Have a Learning Difficulty
- Reading is slow, effortful or avoided; spelling stays inconsistent despite practice.
- Numbers, place value or maths facts don't "stick" the way they do for peers.
- Writing is a struggle to start, organise or physically produce.
- A clear gap between how capable a child seems and how they perform on paper.
- Growing frustration, low confidence or reluctance around schoolwork.
How We Support Students With Learning Difficulties
Multisensory, structured methods
For literacy, we use structured, phonics-based approaches (phonological and phonemic awareness) that research shows work for struggling readers — the same foundation as our early-years tutoring (Years 1–2).
Concrete-to-abstract maths
For dyscalculia, we make abstract concepts tangible with manipulatives and visual models, then build toward fluency.
Small steps, high success
We break learning into achievable steps so students experience success and rebuild self-belief.
Partnership with school
We coordinate with classroom teachers and any allied-health supports (e.g. speech or occupational therapy through our Allied Health & Training Support arm).
The Specialist Difference
Our principal, Lena Ford, is a registered special-education teacher, and our approach is grounded in how children actually learn to read, write and calculate. That specialist foundation is what separates genuine learning-difficulty support from general tutoring — and it means parents get informed guidance, not guesswork. You can meet our team of qualified educators to see the experience behind our programs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can tutoring help a child with dyslexia?
Yes. Structured, multisensory, phonics-based tutoring is the approach best supported by evidence for dyslexia. It won't "cure" dyslexia, but it builds decoding, spelling and reading fluency and, crucially, restores a child's confidence.
What's the difference between dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia?
Dyslexia mainly affects reading and spelling; dyscalculia affects number sense and maths; dysgraphia affects writing (spelling, organisation and the physical act of writing). A child can have one or more, and our programs are tailored to the specific profile.
Do I need a formal diagnosis before starting?
No. You don't need a diagnosis to begin — our diagnostic assessment identifies the specific skill gaps we can start working on. If a formal assessment would help, we can point you in the right direction.
How do you support students with learning difficulties in maths?
We use multisensory methods — manipulatives and visual aids to make abstract ideas concrete — break problems into smaller steps, and connect maths to everyday situations to build understanding and retention.
