Meet Nicola

"Before I found the Dyslexia Academy, I was completely burnt out.”

Nicola had left the classroom after years of teaching, hoping tutoring would give her more balance. But instead, she found herself stuck—juggling a few clients, second-guessing her approach, and wondering if she was really making the impact she wanted to.

“I’d been tutoring for years, but deep down I knew I was just getting by.”

That all changed when she enrolled in the Level 4 Certificate: Professional Development in Dyslexia Awareness, Comprehensive Screening, and Targeted Intervention. Nicola describes it as the turning point, not just in her career, but in her confidence and clarity as an educator.

“For the first time, I knew exactly what to do and why I was doing it.” The course gave her the tools, structure, and confidence she’d been missing. She learned how to properly assess learners, tailor interventions, and truly understand the needs of dyslexic students.

Once qualified, Nicola became a Dyslexia Academy Approved Practitioner, proudly displaying the Quality Mark on her website and social media. The difference was immediate.

“Parents saw that badge and knew I was the real deal. It changed everything.”
She was listed on the Dyslexia Specialist Index, and suddenly her inbox was full. Word-of-mouth referrals took off. Parents started recommending her left and right, not just because of her warmth and experience, but because she had the qualifications to back it up. 

"Now, I’m not just a tutor—I’m a specialist. I know I’m making a real difference.”

Nicola’s story is one of reigniting a passion, finding purpose again, and stepping into her power as an expert who changes lives.

Now it's your turn to be a 'Tutor Doer', not just a 'Tutor Planner' and take that Action and start the next step towards becoming a Dyslexia Specialist.

Meet the Tutor Team Behind the Course

Hi, I’m Katie Nelson — Dyslexia & Dyscalculia Specialist and Founder of The Dyslexia Centre North West and our online Dyslexia & Dyscalculia Academy.

I started this journey when my own daughter, Alice, was diagnosed with dyslexia. As a teacher, I felt helpless—so I spent years studying just to help her.

That path led me to support other children, open the Dyslexia Centre North West, and create training via the Dyslexia Academy that empowers other educators to do the same.
I know how precious your time is. That’s why this course is flexible, practical, and designed for real life.

Know Your Worth As A Dyslexia Specialist

With a Level 4 Dyslexia Certificate, you'll gain the expertise that sets you apart from other teachers, tutors, and teaching assistants, making you the go-to professional for students who need specialised support. As a certified specialist, you can confidently charge higher rates, knowing your unique skills are in high demand. After all, when you know your worth, others will too.

What if the Only Thing Standing Between You and Your Own Centre… Is Saying Yes?

I’ll never forget the moment I opened the doors to my first dyslexia centre. It felt surreal, something I had only imagined while I was still training, wondering if I was good enough, ready enough, brave enough.


But here’s the truth: it all started with a choice. The choice to invest in myself. The choice to get qualified. The choice to believe this could be real.

And now, I want you to imagine it for yourself.

What will your space look like?
  • A quiet room in your home, filled with resources and purpose?
  • A warm, welcoming hub in your local community?
  • Or maybe a centre of your own, a place where children walk in struggling, and leave believing in themselves?

This Level 4 course is more than a qualification. It’s the beginning of everything. The students you’ll support. The lives you’ll change. The space you’ll create that’s uniquely yours.

Don’t wait for permission. Don’t wait for the perfect time.
Your future starts the moment you say YES and begin to own YOUR action!

Are you ready to open your door?

I'm here to support you every step of the way!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the course?

The course is self-paced, with 3 modules each released over 6-8 weeks. You’ll have up to 18 months to complete it, making it flexible for your schedule. 

Do I need to attend live sessions?

No, all materials are online and designed for flexibility. Learn at your own pace, anytime, anywhere. 

Can I really do this if I’m not a teacher?

Absolutely! If you work in education, whether as a TA, Tutor, HLTA, or SENCO then you’re eligible to enrol. 

What's the difference between a Level 4 and 5 qualification?

The Level 4 Certificate is a practical, professional training designed for teachers and tutors who want to confidently support learners with dyslexia, without the time and cost commitments of a full Level 5 qualification.

While Level 5 training focuses on planning, delivering, and evaluating bespoke, multi-sensory structured literacy programmes, the Level 4 Certificate offers a more accessible starting point, perfect for those who want to deepen their knowledge and impact without becoming overwhelmed. Created by Katie Nelson, a Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Specialist, this qualification is:

 Accredited by the Open College Network (120 credits) and at the time of the current cohort BDA Accreditation is pending- exciting times.

 Personable and supportive: designed with real-world tutors and teachers in mind

 Professionally grounded: aligned with the 2025 Delphi Definition of Dyslexia

 Intervention-ready: focused on training you in a range of proven, widely available tools and programmes that meet key literacy needs

It’s ideal for those who want to start making a difference right away, while still having the option to progress to a Level 5 qualification later on, should they choose.

In short: it’s a flexible, empowering next step for educators who want to specialise in dyslexia and start helping students faster.

Can I use this toward a Level 5 qualification later?

Yes, there is an additional module in BETA mode which is expected to be ready later in 2025. This will turn this qualification into a level 4/5 route. 

Does this qualify me to diagnose dyslexia?

No, this course focuses on screening and support. Dyslexia diagnosis requires a Level 7 qualification. Credits can be used with certain providers towards a level 7 qualification.

What support will I get?

You’ll have access to:
  • Our specialist team for expert guidance.
  • Online discussion boards to connect with peers.
  • Optional directory listing as a Dyslexia Academy Approved Practitioner.

Are there any hidden fees?

No hidden fees! The only additional costs are:
  • £75 for the Accreditation Board Certificate
  • £95 (optional one off fee) to apply for the directory listing and use of our Quality Mark as a Dyslexia Academy Approved Practitioner
