ABOUT
Meet Phil Haynes
Folkestone Dyslexia is led by specialist teacher and assessor Phil Haynes, who provides tailored dyslexia assessments and tuition for children and young people aged 4–18. With a Masters degree in Specific Learning Difficulties (Dyslexia) from UCL and accreditation from the British Dyslexia Association, Phil combines specialist expertise with a warm, low-pressure approach.
“Phil’s caring, calm and friendly approach helped build our son’s confidence and ability, leading to remarkable improvement”
“Otto’s confidence has grown, and he has said ‘Phil is really helping me’ - very high praise from a child previously resistant to extra support.”
Our approach
Every session is carefully adapted to your child’s individual needs, helping them build skills, confidence and independence through calm, evidence-based teaching.
Learning built around your child
Sessions begin by understanding where each child is now, before setting clear goals and adapting support as they progress. Sessions are carefully adapted to individual needs, with clear goals and regular reviews to ensure support remains effective and relevant.
Building confidence through progress
Small, consistent steps can make a significant difference over time. Alongside tuition, families are supported with practical strategies and activities that help reinforce learning between sessions, building both skills and self-belief.
Specialist, evidence based support
Support is informed by specialist training, classroom experience and research-backed approaches to dyslexia. This includes multi-sensory learning techniques and structured practice that help children develop skills with greater confidence and fluency.
