M came to Futures seeking support after years of feeling let down by the education system. Diagnosed with dyslexia in primary school, he received early intervention, but that support disappeared in secondary school.
As a result, M struggled with exams, confidence, and executive functioning skills. Through Futures, he found tailored strategies and compassionate guidance that helped him overcome barriers and succeed.
M’s dyslexia affected more than just reading and writing, it impacted his ability to plan, prioritise, and retain information. He often forgot the beginning of a question by the time he reached the end. Without continued support through secondary school, he didn’t achieve pass grades at GCSE and felt discouraged and unsupported.
At his initial assessment, Futures identified key areas where M needed support. Together, they implemented a range of strategies, including:
These strategies helped M manage his dyslexia and build confidence. He passed his Level 2 English exam and immediately enrolled in a Customer Service course at Futures, applying his new skills independently.
Jo supported me to organise my writing more concisely and keep things simple.
M successfully passed his Level 2 exam and transitioned into a customer-facing role with confidence. He no longer needed one-to-one support and was able to apply the strategies he’d learned independently.
If M’s story resonates with you, whether you’re managing dyslexia, struggling with confidence, or looking for tailored learning strategies, Futures is here to help.
Our team offers personalised support, practical tools, and flexible learning options to help you succeed.
