⚠️ You don’t need to be a strong reader or speller. Many tutors are dyslexic and even improve their own spelling as they teach.
⚠️ You must hear sounds extremely well, because strong auditory skills are essential to catch and correct mistakes.
⚠️ Your student must pass the 10-minute Student Screening.
