Lots of enquiries have come through for November so do get back to me if you want to secure a space. Surrey Dyslexia Support will be closed from mid-December as I will be commencing maternity leave.

Latest review on my Google business page:

"Rebecca came to my house to assess my son. She made sure everything worked for his age, giving him breaks throughout to not overwhelm him. The results were prompt and detailed. Rebecca was even kind enough to send my son a book and a thank you card after to encourage him in his learning. Would 100% recommend Rebecca at Surrey Dyslexia Support."

Best of luck to all of my students past and present for the new school term :) If you would like your child to be assessed - November bookings are open now.
