About Us


Who We Are

Red OWL Dyslexia is an Adelaide Tutoring Service directed to Primary through to Secondary aged students up to and including Year 9.

We do welcome older students and are accommodating with their commitments to their studies at High School in their senior years.

Vikki is the proprietor of Red OWL Dyslexia and has 25 years' experience in Finance, Training and Development, and Administration across all industries including manufacturing, service, wholesale and retail.

Further, Vikki is degree qualified and a graduate of all three levels of Teaching Students with Dyslexia (TSD) which includes Word Cracker training.   TSD courses use the Dyslexia Solutions - Multi Sensory Literacy Program.

What We Do

Every Dyslexic person has their own personal challenges which can be extremely challenging, frustrating, confronting and can affect their confidence and self-worth.

We use the Playberry Multi-Sensory Literacy Program which is a method of learning is based on thorough teaching and practice, practice, practice with the student's goal - until the knowledge becomes automatic and permanent.

The structure of the program uses teaching points which are taught explicitly and then revised throughout the program.

This program is very effective in the long term as it takes a student right back to the beginning of teaching Literacy and systematically rebuilds their phonics (letter-sound system).

We provide a strong, supportive learning and development environment and ensure each student is catered for their learning and development needs.

Our aim is to show students that learning can be fun and have lots of "winning" moments to share with the tutor and the parent along the way to successfully managing their Dyslexia.

We are confident and believe that Multi-Sensory teaching enables students to have many successes with their learning.

          how well the student is grasping the concepts,
          what concepts are locked into permanent memory,
          determining what concepts are needing guidance, and finally,
          checking to see if there are concepts which may need to be re-taught.


Work is not marked with a red pen.   These students have seen far too much of that colour and for most, it is upsetting to see a low grade mark after all the hard work and effort put in trying to achieve a good result.

Students are given the opportunity to correct their work, whilst the tutor makes notes for future reference and re-teaching.

Benchmark testing is scheduled at a time when the tutor sees that the student is ready to be tested.   We test what student DOES know and learnt and celebrate achievement.

Likewise, we continue to test what the student DOES NOT know and struggle with and continue to teach and build on previous work.

The Playberry Program continually references:

"Teach as fast as necessary, as slow as needed."

"Keep Calm - and Re-Teach - because that's what we do!"


This is why multi-sensory learning works!
