As far as I am aware we have no dyslexic students from Kingston-upon-Hull,
but we could not provide support through the Dyslexia Support Service at
less than £35 per hour. At £35/hour we are subsidising the administrative
costs involved. Freelance tutors may still provide 1:1 support for
£25/hour, but they are increasingly hard to find and extra hassle for the
student - and we can't monitor the quality of support provided this way.
