This October, dyslexia is celebrated through awareness week. For many children with dyslexia, school can feel tough. Reading takes longer. Confidence dips. Comparisons can sting. But step into the world of work, and everything changes. 🙌 Dyslexic Thinking is now recognised on LinkedIn as a valuable skill, championed by Microsoft, Virgin and Made By Dyslexia . These learners are the innovators, creators and problem-solvers who see what others miss. And now, with AI tools like voice-to-text and text-to-speech, barriers are coming down fast. The world is finally catching up with the way dyslexic minds think — creative, strategic and big-picture. 🏡 How to Help at Home ✅ Learn about dyslexia and be your child’s advocate. 🎓 Try Nessy’s Free Parent Course (2 months free currently). 💬 Celebrate the positives of Dyslexic Thinking. 📚 Read together, short, fun bursts. 🎧 Listen to audiobooks while following the text. 🎨 Learn through movement — make, build, play. 🧩 Explore Nessy and Dyslexia Gold 🎓 Teach your child how to advocate for themselves 🎥 Watch Made By Dyslexia’s video “Dyslexic Thinking” 💙 Praise effort and resilience most dyslexic learners work three times harder than their peers.

This year, on Remembrance Day, I'm mindful of the power of stories and the significance of learning History in shaping our identities.

I absolutely remember my grandmother recounting her experiences working in a uniform factory, recalling the night that the factory across the street was bombed (they were lucky). My grandad shared his story of being captured in Normandy and becoming a German POW- how he hid a knife in his sock and how he and his battalion were lined up by the Nazi's on a train track hoping they didn't find the knife and all be killed. I heard these stories first hand, from people who were there. It's sad to think these personal accounts are fading as our WWII veterans pass on, highlighting the importance of teaching children to learn, remember, and reflect.

History is not merely about remembrance; it equips children with essential skills, including:
• Critical thinking and questioning evidence
• Analyzing cause and consequence
• Strong communication and argumentation skills
• Understanding context, perspective, and empathy
• Research and interpretation skills
• Making connections between past and present

These skills empower students across all subjects, from English and Politics to Science and Ethics.

Additionally, neurodiversity should not hinder the pursuit of knowledge. With appropriate support, every student, including those with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other learning differences, can thrive in subjects that inspire them.

Pausing to remember and learn from those who came before us provides grounding and gratitude. Let’s keep their stories alive and encourage our young people to think critically, question, and strive for peace in this world.

🎓 Did you know the tutoring industry isn’t regulated?
No national standards. No Ofsted. Often not even a DBS check. 😳

That’s why we only accept 18% of tutor applicants at Elite Tutors Sussex.

✅ Fully vetted
✅ Qualified teachers & specialists
✅ Safeguarding trained
✅ Experts in SEND & exam prep
✅ Rigorous interview with the ETS leadership team

Because your child deserves more than just “any tutor” — they deserve someone who truly knows how to help them thrive. 💡

📩 Looking for expert support? We’d love to help.

I wish everyone was like Olie.

The reason we only take on 18% of tutors who apply to work with us is because, quite frankly, not everyone IS like Olie. It takes a special teacher to impress me, and every week in Olie’s class, he inspires me to remember the qualities an outstanding tutor must have to work with us.

Here are just some of his teaching qualities:

✅ Always friendly – greets with a smile and positive energy
🤝 Genuinely interested in how I’m doing
😊 Always positive – no matter what
👂 Listens carefully and attentively
😂 Loves to laugh – makes sessions enjoyable
🔄 Takes feedback and acts on it – always improving
🌟 Encouraging – lifts you up when you need it
🔍 Notices every tiny detail – nothing gets past him
📈 Pushes and challenges just enough – no unnecessary stress
👀 Spots when I’m slacking… even from across the room!
🧑‍🏫 Demos are crystal clear – easy to understand
📢 Instructions are always super clear
⏳ Perfect timing – never rushed, never dragging
📝 Impeccable planning – always prepared
🎭 Sessions are interesting, fun, and different every week

I'm making great progress and feel fitter than ever (even at 50! 💪).

✨ These are the qualities we look for in our tutors at Elite Tutors Sussex.

📱 Is TikTok Good for My Young Person? 🤔

As a parent, it’s tough to compete with the endless scroll of TikTok. 🎥 But teens are just as worried as we are about how much time they spend on their phones? 😟

Harvard researchers found that young people feel out of control when it comes to managing their screen time. The problem?
There are no natural boundaries—so it’s up to us to help! 🙋‍♀️

Here are some simple ways to support your teen:

✅ Set a study schedule together—structure makes all the difference.
📴 Encourage phone-free zones: Put devices in another room during study time or turn on flight mode.
🌙 Create a tech-free bedtime routine to support improved sleep.
👩‍🏫 Lead by example: Show them how you manage your own screen time.

One resource I highly recommend is Behind Their Screens 📚https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59679077-behind-their-screens which is an incredible book by Harvard researchers Emily Weinstein and Carrie James, that dives into the struggles teens face and how we can support them.

Let’s help our young people thrive—online and off! 💪
