We have summer dates for our personalised learning one-to-one tuition sessions!

A new definition of dyslexia has been released following three years of research and consultation. The definition has been agreed across a broad range of expertise and is applicable across the ages. We are delighted that many members of the Helen Arkell community have contributed to this important work which will help us to support more people with dyslexia in the future.
You can view the definition here. The new definition identifies many of the same or similar underlying cognitive indicators of dyslexia, and how it impacts individuals. This means that everyone who was identified as dyslexic under the previous definition continues to meet the criteria for a diagnosis.
With exams fast approaching, we are determined that you should be studying smarter, not harder! So we have reduced the price of our Study Skills and Strategies for GCSEs and A Levels download by 30% to just £45.
The two-hour video is packed full of tips, strategies and ideas to help learning and revising more effective.

Supporting dyslexia research is an important part of what we do here at Helen Arkell because the more that is known about dyslexia, the better we can be at understanding it and providing support.
All the research projects we promote have been approved by the appropriate university ethics committees and, in turn, by us at Helen Arkell.
We have three research projects. If suitable, we would love for you to take part. Some of the projects offer a small financial reward for taking part:
