to-one basis, for 1-2 hours/week. Everyday difficulties faced by those with difficulties with reading and writing :

Afraid to use tablets given by the doctor, in case the wrong ones or wrong dosage given to the child. Poor work opportunities. Parenting problems - when you are unable to help child/children with their homework etc. That is just a few examples of how people are affected everyday. Adult learners frequently blame themselves for their problems. However, these problems are often the result of a variety of factors, outside the control of the individual. For example:

***Money was tight so we could not afford the school books.

***I was a clever student but I was worried about what was happening at home, things weren't great there.

***For most of my stay in school the class sizes were too big.

***Because of illness when I was a child I missed several years at school

So if you, or anyone you know has trouble with reading, writing or spelling, help is available and we are only a phone call away.
