What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Readability Tutors Dyslexia, working with children in Newtownabbey and beyond, draws consistent praise for the reading progress pupils achieve and the confidence that follows. Parents describe children who arrived struggling to decode sounds and letters, and who, after regular weekly attendance, were reading with far greater fluency. A recurring observation concerns the gains in self-belief, with families noting that their children now reach for books without being asked.

The team's warmth and patience feature throughout the feedback, and individual tutors are singled out by name: D'Arcy is remembered for a swift, informative response to a first enquiry that eased parental worry, while Mary is credited with building an easy rapport that keeps pupils eager to attend each session. Communication with families, both at the outset and as tuition continued, is described as thoughtful and reassuring. Several parents mention travelling some distance to attend and regarding the journey as worthwhile. The teaching centres on phonics and the rules governing sounds, offered to learners of all ages, and the encouraging, caring manner of the staff is a theme that runs through the accounts.

This place helped my son with phonics and the rules of sounds that we as adults never knew existed. I highly recommend it for all ages. If you think your child is slow, it might not be their fault; there is help out there, and the tutors here are so kind and caring.

I just want to thank the guys here. my daughter started here barely being able to read at age 8. in p5! when she started she was reading at age 6 when she finished she's now been assessed as reading at age 10 I could not recommend these tutors enough. I would go as far as saying they have changed my daughters life. as she has gained so much confidence by being able to read. they are all so friendly and welcoming so I thank you so much and will recommend to others 100%

I was recommend readability for my son. I got in contact and D'Arcy give me a call back very quickly and after speaking with him for a few minutes he had put my mind at rest about my son and I knew this was going to be the place to send him. Mary is his tutor and is amazing with him. He enjoys going every week and seeing the difference in his has been amazing, especially his confidence and hearing him read books or anything he sees now makes us so happy that we decided to send him to readability. If you are looking for a 5* place to send your child with dyslexia then readability is definitely it. We couldn't recommend D'Arcy and team more. Thanks for everything.

I wanted to take a few minutes to share a 5* review about this amazing programme. When my daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia we were keen to seek out any additional support we could for her and for us. Hearing about Readability through a family friend I reached out and had an amazing call back from D'Arcy who was so reassuring and knowledgeable. 1 year on and a lot of hard work from my daughter, with our support and weekly visits to their base in Newtonabbey, my daughter as excelled and increased her reading age by 3 years in just 1 year and is now equipped with all the tools to continue her learning. Our tutor Mary was incredible and my daughter clicked with her immediately and was always so motivated to impress Mary every single week. It is a wonderfully supportive place and I would highly recommend to anyone who is in a similar position.

Was so glad to find Readability after the lockdowns had resulted in my son getting a little behind in his reading. He loved his weekly sessions with Mary and the improvement they made together in such a short space of time was remarkable. Would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to return again in future with my youngest.
