Many children with dyslexia benefit from learning support that is patient, structured and matched to how they process language. We provide dyslexia tutoring in Canberra and the ACT that is steady, practical and focused on real progress.

Kinetic Education combines short online lessons with real tutors for dyslexia in Canberra. Your child learns from home, at their own pace, with a personalised plan and ongoing tutor guidance. You receive simple weekly updates so you always know how they’re tracking, without needing to chase the school for answers.

Why families choose our dyslexia tutors in Canberra

  • Real tutor support: Your child is matched with a named tutor who tracks their progress, updates tasks each week and checks in with you, so you’re supported too.
  • Lessons designed for children with dyslexia:We keep activities short, guided and clear. There’s no wall of text and no “just read faster". We break skills down so they feel achievable, not overwhelming.
  • Aligned with the Australian Curriculum: We support primary and high school students using skills that ACT schools expect, including reading fluency, comprehension, spelling patterns and written responses.
  • Fits real family life: Our dyslexia tutoring in Canberra is online, so there’s no travel across town for a 45-minute session. Lessons can be done after school, on weekends or whenever your child is most focused.
  • We focus on confidence, not pressure: When learning finally feels manageable, pushback starts to drop. Parents often tell us the first change is “less fight at homework time".

How our tutoring model works

1. We assess and build a personalised learning plan

We begin with a short literacy assessment process that looks at phonics, decoding, spelling, reading fluency and comprehension. This helps us understand where support is actually needed.
From that, we create a personalised plan for your child.

2. Your child works through short guided lessons at home


Each login shows your child exactly what to do next. Activities are interactive, use audio and visual support, and are broken into small steps. This style works well for students with dyslexia because it keeps things clear and reduces stress.

3. A real tutor reviews progress each week

Your child’s tutor, a specialist tutor for dyslexic children in Canberra, tracks how they’re going, updates the plan and checks in with you. You’ll also receive a simple weekly summary that explains what improved and what we’re focusing on next. You always know where things stand.

How much does dyslexia tutoring cost?

Plans start from $29 per week.

That includes:

  • The assessment process
  • A personalised learning plan
  • Ongoing tutor check-ins
  • Weekly updates for parents

Why our approach helps children with dyslexia

Dyslexia affects how children process written language. It does not mean they can’t understand ideas. When reading, spelling and written expression get in the way, it can look like they’re “behind”, even if they understand the content in class. We work on those core literacy skills, decoding, spelling rules, reading fluency and structured writing, so they can show what they’re truly capable of.

Our tutors focus on:

  • Filling skill gaps in a calm, step-by-step way
  • Keeping lessons short so focus stays high
  • Repeating key skills using visuals, audio and guided practice so they stick
  • Encouraging effort without shame or pressure

This is especially helpful once schoolwork starts expecting longer answers, formal writing and independent reading.

Subjects and skills we support

English (reading and writing)

We build skills in phonics, decoding, spelling patterns, reading fluency, comprehension, grammar, vocabulary and written responses. The aim is smoother reading and clearer writing in class, not just “doing worksheets".

Maths support

Many students with dyslexia understand maths concepts but get stuck on the wording of questions. We help with number skills, problem solving, fractions, percentages and early algebra, and we slow the language down so they can understand what the question is actually asking.

Changes parents often notice in the first few weeks

  • Stronger confidence to work independently.
  • Greater excitement to learn.
  • Less pushback at learning time.
  • Less resistance at homework time.
  • Short tasks finished with confidence.
  • Improved accuracy and smoother reading.
  • Skills learnt at home carry over into everyday schoolwork.

FAQs

What is dyslexia tutoring?

Dyslexia tutoring is structured, personalised support for children with dyslexia. We build reading, spelling and writing skills in a way that suits how they learn, instead of forcing them to keep up with a style that doesn’t work for them.

Can this help my child catch up at school?

Yes. We identify what’s holding them back, build a plan to target those gaps and update that plan each week so they can move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

How quickly will we see change?

Most parents notice changes in confidence and routine first. Academic progress, smoother reading, clearer spelling, stronger written work, builds with steady practice.

We’ve tried tutors for dyslexia in Canberra before. How is this different?

Some tutoring moves too fast or feels stressful. We slow it down, teach step by step and keep lessons short. You also get weekly feedback from a real tutor, so you can actually see what’s changing.

My child gets anxious about being wrong. Will this still work?

Yes. Sessions are low pressure. Mistakes are treated as part of learning, not something to be embarrassed about. Kids feel safe to try.

Reviews from parents about our dyslexia tutoring

Really helpful for kids with learning difficulties We started Kinetic in May this year and the progress we have seen is amazing. Our daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia last year. This made things clearer to us, as she was so far behind in school by 3 year levels. She recently retested and now has solid understanding and is behind only by a small area in her current year level. Showing her these results has boosted her confidence and her drive to try. Thank you Mum of 5 View on ProductReview
My son is Dyslexic and has struggled with the frustrations of the curriculum delivery at school Since he began around October he has advanced a whole year ahead in Maths and English! This has made a huge difference to his motivation I think. I highly recommend this program to anyone who needs time and repetition in addition to hone in on what the child needs assistance with. Thank you! Kazza View on ProductReview

So many happy families

"Maths Wiz is really exciting, it never gets boring because you can follow what you’re doing at school and sometimes you can even skip ahead a bit and so when you get to learning that at school you already know it."

Ebony, Grade 5 Student

"The programs can give parents a great sense of direction and a sense of structured involvement which will give them great satisfaction. Most children will learn much better. It’s interactive, individualized, special, and it works."

Dr Janet Hall, Psychologist

"I found the programs to be equivalent to a personal tutor for me. I managed to attain not only a high score, but a deep feeling of satisfaction in that I had done my best and had gone beyond my limits."

Sherry, Grade 12 Student

"I am most impressed that, using the Maths Wiz program, the students have successfully learnt difficult concepts without the 'hard work' which is generally associated with learning mathematics through the conventional methods."

George Moran, Principal

"To me it's better than school as it's a lot more fun. I really enjoy using the computer. I try and use the program every week and I do get most of my activities done. I'm feeling happier about my studies."
