“Phil is a unique individual. He is a teacher, a mentor, a guide – not just for my son Max, but for me as his parent as well. From the very first time he walked into our home, he brought a sense of peace and understanding, and I felt hope that my neurodiverse son had finally found someone who could not only teach him, but nurture him to capitalise on his unique talents. My hope was proven correct. Max has been working with Phil for a number of years. Phil adapted to Max’s learning needs and preferred ways of interacting. He brought a routine into Max’s life that Max enjoys and looks forward to daily. Max has flourished. And I have benefited as well – from Phil’s wisdom and guidance when I struggle with parenting a neurodiverse son, and from the regular ‘tidbits’ that Phil sends – helpful courses, or books, or articles, or equipment – things to help Max and myself improve our daily lives. I highly recommend Phil to anyone who is considering a tutor for their neurodiverse child. He has been a godsend, and I am grateful every day that he helps us.”

This ADDitude article explores effective ways to support children with dyslexia so they can thrive in school and beyond. It highlights that dyslexia is not linked to intelligence but to how the brain processes language, and that early, tailored interventions are key. While there’s no medication to “cure” dyslexia, structured literacy programs, multi-sensory teaching, and school-based accommodations — such as extra time on tests, assistive technology, and alternative ways to demonstrate learning — can make a profound difference. The article stresses collaboration between parents, teachers, and specialists to build a support plan that nurtures both academic skills and self-confidence. Contact us for more assistance today.
