Understanding Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a neurological learning difference that primarily affects reading, spelling, and language processing. Despite having average or above-average intelligence, individuals with dyslexia may struggle with phonological awareness, reading fluency, spelling, and written expression. Research suggests that dyslexia affects approximately one in ten individuals, and it often runs in families. While many children are diagnosed in primary school when reading difficulties become apparent, some individuals do not receive a diagnosis until adolescence or adulthood.

Our Approach to Dyslexia Tutoring

At AA Tutoring Academy, we use a multisensory structured learning (MSL) approach, based on the Orton-Gillingham method, which has been endorsed by organisations such as the International Dyslexia Association and the World Health Organisation. This approach integrates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning techniques to improve reading, spelling, and comprehension by actively engaging multiple senses during instruction.

Explicit Phonics Instruction

Teaching the relationship between sounds and letters to develop strong foundational reading and spelling skills.

Multisensory Techniques

Incorporating visual aids, auditory exercises, and hands-on activities to reinforce learning and improve memory retention.

Structured and Sequential Lessons

Using a cumulative approach that builds on previously learned concepts, ensuring students master one skill before progressing to the next.

Reading Fluency Development

Encouraging students to read aloud while using tracing techniques to strengthen word recognition and pronunciation.

Writing and Spelling Support

Teaching syllable division, spelling rules, and word-building strategies to improve written expression.

Confidence and Self-Esteem Building

Creating a positive and supportive learning environment to help students develop a growth mindset and overcome learning anxieties.

In Person and Online Dyslexia Tutoring

We offer flexible tutoring options to ensure that students with dyslexia receive the support they need, regardless of their location or learning preferences.

In-Person Tutoring

Sessions take place in a structured, distraction-free environment at our Double Bay office, ensuring focused, personalised instruction tailored to each student’s needs.

Online Dyslexia Tutoring

Virtual lessons provide accessibility and flexibility, ensuring that students can receive high-quality support from the comfort of their home.

The Value of One-on-One Support

For students with learning difficulties, traditional classroom environments can sometimes feel overwhelming. One-on-one tutoring provides the dedicated attention they need to thrive. Research shows that personalised tutoring can significantly improve learning outcomes, especially when introduced early. By focusing on each student’s individual learning style, we help them progress faster and with greater confidence than in typical classroom settings.

Tailored Tutoring for Individual Success

Private, one-on-one sessions allow us to identify and adapt to each student’s preferred learning methods. We set realistic, achievable goals and create custom academic plans to guide their progress. This targeted approach ensures that students receive the support they need to overcome challenges and succeed.

Why Choose AA Tutoring Academy for Dyslexia Support?

We understand that traditional teaching methods do not always meet the needs of students with dyslexia. Our individualised approach ensures that students receive personalised attention and effective strategies to enhance their literacy skills. We work closely with parents and caregivers to provide regular progress updates and tailor lessons to the student’s evolving needs.

At AA Tutoring Academy, we are committed to empowering students with dyslexia to achieve their full potential by equipping them with the skills and strategies they need for lifelong learning.

Introducing AA Tutoring Academy’s After-School Homework Help Program

Academic Support That Goes Beyond the Books

At AA Tutoring Academy, we know that learning doesn’t stop when the school bell rings. For many students, the real challenge begins after the school day ends — when they’re faced with difficult homework, looming assessments, and mounting academic pressure. This is where we step in.

We are thrilled to introduce our After-School Homework Help Program, now available at our welcoming Double Bay centre. This program is specifically designed to provide structured, effective, and compassionate academic support every weekday afternoon.

More than just a place to finish homework, this program is a space where:

  • Students feel seen, supported, and capable
  • Difficult concepts are broken down into manageable steps
  • Confidence is rebuilt through consistent, personalised help
  • Learning becomes enjoyable, not stressful

Whether your child is struggling with core subjects, losing motivation, or simply needs a quiet and consistent place to work, our Homework Help Program offers the tools, strategies, and environment to help them thrive.

What Is the Homework Help Program?

The Homework Help Program is a structured after-school service that combines the best of tutoring, mentoring, and guided study in one convenient offering. It is open to all students from Kindergarten through Year 12, with support tailored to each stage of their academic journey.

Here’s what a typical session looks like:

  • Students arrive after school, greeted by our friendly team and settled into a calm workspace.
  • With their assigned tutor or support group, they set learning goals for the session.
  • Homework and school tasks are reviewed, explained, and completed with live academic guidance.
  • Where time allows, students also work on revision, assignment planning, and study skills.
  • Feedback is recorded and provided to families on request, so you know what’s being achieved.

The goal is not simply to finish homework — it’s to ensure students understand the work, become confident in it, and develop the skills to tackle future tasks independently.

What Makes Our Program Different?

Unlike generic study halls or unstructured homework clubs, AA Tutoring’s program stands out for its:

  • Curriculum-Linked, Evidence-Based Instruction
  • Every session is grounded in the NSW Board of Studies and NESA-aligned curriculum, meaning students aren’t just completing work — they’re learning exactly what’s required at their grade level and beyond. We regularly update our content and teaching approaches to reflect the latest syllabus changes and HSC exam requirements.
  • Tutor Matching & Small Groups
  • We carefully match students with tutors based on their year level, personality, subject needs, and learning style. Whether in small groups or individual support, every student receives the attention they need to succeed.
  • Integrated Study Skills Development
  • Our program incorporates key learning-to-learn strategies:
  • Note-taking and summarisation techniques
  • Exam prep and assessment scaffolding
  • Task prioritisation and time management
  • Memory strategies and metacognition

This ensures students leave each session not only with finished homework — but also with tools for long-term academic independence.

Holistic Academic Support

Our Homework Help Program is not just about boosting marks — it’s about building resilient, curious, and empowered learners.

We consider the whole student, supporting:

  • Cognitive needs: Deep understanding of content
  • Emotional needs: Encouragement, confidence building, anxiety reduction
  • Organisational needs: Calendar planning, assignment breakdowns, effective study systems

Tutors are trained to pick up on signs of academic burnout, disengagement, or executive functioning struggles — and to respond with kindness, structure, and encouragement.

We see each student as an individual with a unique learning journey — and we’re here to walk alongside them, every step of the way.

Tailored Learning Plans & Continuous Feedback

We believe every student deserves a learning experience that adapts to them.

Each enrolment begins with a consultation where we:

  • Discuss the child’s current academic status, school reports, and any teacher or parent concerns
  • Understand personality, learning style, and confidence levels
  • Identify short-term goals (e.g., “complete all maths homework each week”) and long-term aspirations (e.g., “improve writing skills by Term 4”)

From there, we create a Tailored Learning Plan, outlining:

  • Focus areas per subject
  • Support strategies
  • Skill-building goals
  • Review points for progress tracking

Tutors use session notes and student reflections to update parents regularly, offering transparency and insight into their child’s development. This ensures you’re not left guessing how things are going — we bring you into the journey.

Supportive Learning Environment

We’ve intentionally created a space where students can feel calm, capable, and in control of their learning.

Our Double Bay centre features:

  • Bright, comfortable workspaces with ample natural light
  • Quiet, structured zones for deep focus
  • Friendly supervision and professional staff at all times
  • Access to learning resources, whiteboards, manipulatives, and digital tools
  • Welcoming reception area for parents and caregivers

Most importantly, we’ve cultivated a culture of positivity and encouragement. No question is “dumb,” and mistakes are seen as part of the learning process. For students who are shy, anxious, or have lost motivation, our tutors provide gentle, structured support that helps rebuild academic self-esteem.

We also cater to students with diverse learning needs, including:

  • ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and other learning differences
  • Gifted and high-potential learners
  • English as an Additional Language (EAL) students

Our environment is one where every learner can feel safe, respected, and supported.

NSW Curriculum Integration & Modern Education Tools

We know the NSW curriculum like the back of our hand — and we’re constantly keeping up with changes in:

  • English: New focus on persuasive and discursive writing; Stage 6 modules
  • Mathematics: New Year 11/12 pathways (Standard, Advanced, Extension), NAPLAN alignment
  • Science: Inquiry-based learning, assessment scaffolds
  • Humanities: Source analysis, critical thinking, structured essay writing

We also integrate:

  • Technology-enhanced learning tools
  • Mock tests and sample questions
  • Teacher rubrics and assessment marking criteria
  • NAPLAN and HSC-specific preparation strategies

We teach with the future in mind, preparing students not just for what’s due this week — but for lifelong academic achievement.
