Mastering Dyslexia Group Course

"The Mastering Dyslexia course was a perfect introduction to the new technologies to support students with dyslexia. Jamie was supportive and encouraging throughout, and really helped my daughter understand the value of different technologies and helped to built it into her learning. The course being ran by someone who shares the dyslexia experience makes a huge difference and is so important - Jamie built a sense of community and connection, expressed a sense of genuine empathy, his advice and experience was so much more meaningful for my daughter because of this. Thank you, Jamie, for the work you do to support children with dyslexia."

"Jamie was well organised and sent instructions in advance ready for each session. Please do spend the time getting prepared just to download the apps or programmes in advance. My son’s laptop hadn’t been used in a while so it did a load of updates. My son had a laptop and phone, which worked well. Jamie was great at making the children feel comfortable, whilst at the same time showing what resources and apps can help with learning. By giving mini tasks the children were able to try the solutions first hand. Technology really can assist if used correctly. Picked up some tips myself too lol! I asked my son if he thought it was worth doing the course and he said yes. Well done Jamie!"

"Jamie was an amazing role model for my son. He needed to see someone older than him but happy, and smashing learning. The tools and technology we learnt in the workshops have been so helpful and have been a real confidence boost. Going into Year 7, left us a bit panicky that we might not be able to keep up with homework and his dyslexia might mean he struggled. We have now got a few more tools to help get things done and not take all evening. Good to learn as an adult as well, I am using some of the apps at work."

"What a thoroughly worthwhile course. It has completely changed homework & revision time in our house. Sophia is using all the tools that Jamie shared independently, and I'm sure her confidence is going to grow as a result. For me I just cannot express my thanks enough for putting this together, it's the first time I felt able to adequately support with Sophia's struggles. This is something that is definitely missing in the education system. Thank you also Jamie for your patience with my lack of technical skills"

"I first found out about it through Instagram and saw your story, and I was instantly intrigued. I’m always looking for good uses of AI or tools to help support Raphie, and we’ve been putting a lot of time into finding what works and what technology he can use to support his learning. He’s struggled, and engagement with school has been very hard throughout his education. Even with access to professionals and the SENCO, it took us a long time to realise we needed to step in and do more. He wasn’t causing problems in school, but he was still at the bottom of achievement, and we knew we needed to find things that were really going to work for him. Hearing your story was important. Here’s someone who has been successful but has struggled in similar ways with dyslexia. Raphie has ADHD and autism as well, so his self-esteem is low, and he gets overwhelmed easily. Hearing your story gave me a real example I could show him — someone with similar conditions who has overcome challenges and is now at university studying demanding subjects. That’s why accessing the course made so much sense. By learning the tools and processes you’ve gone through, it shortcuts the whole journey for me. I can take what Jamie has learned, what actually works, and then tailor it to empower Raphie to have similar success."

"Our 10 yr old son has diagnosed dyslexia and ADHD. After ongoing struggles both at home and at school, I came across Jamie’s post explaining how he could offer help with his learning needs… Jamie is a very kind, friendly and caring individual who put me at ease after our first introductory conversation. His unwavering support towards my son was carried out throughout our 3 x one to one sessions on various ways of helping him through technology and apps that I hadn’t come across before. The workshops were very well organised and engaging for my son who has learnt a great deal from them. I’m really glad I found Jamie and the confidence he has instilled in my child to help him navigate and organise his work better. Thanks Jamie."

"My 12 year old son recently completed the course, and I couldn’t recommend more. It’s going to be a game-changer. I did wonder if he’d be a little young but the course was pitched perfectly to all ages - both my son and I learned a lot. The speech-to-text tools and flashcard strategies have made homework over the last couple of weeks so much more accessible and far less stressful — he’s already using speech-to-text confidently and independently most days. What truly sets this course apart is Jamie Briggs. The success he has achieved really is inspiring - plus he’s way cooler than most teachers 😎. Jamie understands the challenges first-hand and teaches with empathy, encouragement, and real-world expertise. He proved to my son that it is possible to thrive with dyslexia, and to turn challenges into strengths. I highly recommend this course to any parent looking for practical support and genuine understanding."

"Thank you Jamie . We both really enjoyed the course and found it so helpful. You introduced each technology well and the exercises really helped Jack fully understand how he could use the technology to support his school work and homework. Since the sessions, he has been using all the techniques and technology to help with his homework. The speechify had been such a revelation as Jack reads well however the speechify really helps him fully engage with and understand texts that he has to read rather than wants to read. He’s looking forward to doing his writing homework for once and even said that he thinks he would like to be a writer when he’s older! A real turn around from a child who doesn’t enjoy writing ! Thank you so much for the carefully planned sessions."

He's really helped us open our eyes to what can be achieved with simple but effective tools that can be used in school as well as home. Friendly, professional and extremely patient (I'm not tech minded) I would highly recommend and I wish there were more Jamie's out there helping children with dyslexia. Many thanks Jamie"

"Booked my son on this course to support his GCSE work. Course contained content that is not taught by school SENCO’s for accessibility. Programs selected are better than the primitive programs used in school like google docs, kami and google slides. Program delivered in an orderly manner and material provided to practice on during lesson at home. Cost of course extremely reasonable."

"We decided to go ahead with this course because our eldest is severely dyslexic, only diagnosed at the end of Year 6, and was behind his peers and fast approaching GCSE. His school had said that they would be able to arrange for him to use assisted technology to help with his GCSE exams but were being incredibly slow off the mark with showing him how to best utilise programmes, apps and devices by the end of Year 10. Our son took this course during the Summer before Year 11 and found it incredibly informative and really quite enjoyable. Each lesson wasn't too long which is another tick in our book as we are 99% our son is also ADHD (although not yet diagnosed) and does struggle with concentration over long periods. According to our son, Jamie was much more friendly and approachable than most schooling situations he has found himself in."

"Jamie course popped up on my Facebook feed and after looking into it I thought this looks good and could be really suitable for my 12 year old daughter. I requested more information and Jamie actually called and spoke to me about her needs. My daughter had a speech delay and combined with missing school with COVID she is behind her peers. She already has a tutor who’s amazing but completing her first year at secondary school it brings another level of learning. She had a diagnosis of dyslexia in primary(this was done privately) even with this schools just don’t understand. As a parent you really just want the best and to make life as easy as possible for her. Jamie sent all the information ready for the first session and we both joined the first session. After I few technical issue on my part( I’m not the best with computers) Jamie was so patient with me to get app to work. The apps/software Jamie discussed and used for the course will be so useful for both my daughter and myself- I was diagnosed dyslexia in university and this course has also helped me and will continue to help me in my current job. She will be back at school in two weeks and can’t wait to update Jamie on her progress moving forward this term. Thank you Jackie and Annalise"

"Jamie was fantastic! My not-so-little boy is severely dyslexic, ADHD and ASD and has been hating school. The transition to secondary school was incredibly daunting for both of us. But now, I feel confident that he has the tools he needs to show what he’s truly capable of, something that hasn’t been possible before. It was also amazing for him to meet someone outside of the family, someone closer in age like him, who has faced similar struggles and is now at university. I think it’s given him real hope. When he didn't think there was any point trying anymore. He had tried software before, but it was clunky and frustrating. This isn't. Thank you, Jamie!"

He’s loved working with Jamie and what a boost to his confidence 😊 He started to use the skills Jamie gave him straight away - even in an after school club the night of lesson one. He attends a drama club which he loves, but because of his dyslexia, he found reading the scripts stressful in front of a class , he used the technology Jamie facilitated for him to make it instantly more accessible, my son is delighted… and so am I! Thank you Jamie."

My Story

Hi, I'm Jamie Briggs. I was diagnosed with dyslexia in Primary 1, and I know firsthand the challenges it can bring. With the right strategies and support, I turned those challenges into strengths — achieving A Band 1s in all 15 exams I took in secondary school, and now studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. I also tutored dozens of students in maths and physics every week, helping them build confidence and achieve their academic goals.

Now, I'm looking to inspire and aid dyslexic students like myself. I've noticed a lack of information on effectively using tools and navigating the academic world as a dyslexic student. Over the years, I've been approached by many people curious about how I've managed it all — so I've created this course to share what I've learned and help others succeed.

What's in the Course

My Philosophy

This course is designed for students aged 12 and up — essentially, when you begin secondary school. At that stage, you're expected to work more independently and be able to read and write confidently in every subject. That means processing information and producing work becomes essential.

For many dyslexic students, this is where things can become difficult. Even with a strong aptitude and deep understanding of subjects, they can start to fall behind simply because reading and writing — the way information is normally taught and assessed — don't come easily. That's why we take a different approach: instead of trying to improve reading and writing in the traditional way, we focus on finding methods that work for the dyslexic brain.

We use different strategies. Sometimes, our brains just aren't wired for conventional reading and writing, so we explore tools that achieve the same goals in ways that suit how we think. For example, listening instead of reading, or speaking instead of writing.

Albert Einstein
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." — Albert Einstein

Did you know Albert Einstein is also dyslexic?

Workshop 1: Text to Brain

READING, REWIRED

Whether it's the reading itself or understanding what's been read, many students struggle to take information in — especially when they're under pressure. In this workshop, we switch the input entirely. Instead of trying to force reading to get better, we use simple, powerful tools that turn any text into audio. Your child can listen to worksheets, websites, and books — with the words highlighted as they go. That means their brain gets two inputs at once: audio and visual. For dyslexic learners, this makes understanding faster, easier, and far less stressful.

  • Listen to anything: PDFs, Word docs, websites, even printed handouts
  • Works on any device: laptop, tablet, or phone
  • Highlights text as it reads — combining visual and audio input
  • Reliable, easy-to-use tools picked specifically for dyslexic brains

Workshop 2: Brain to Text

WRITING, REWORKED

For many dyslexic learners, writing is where things fall apart — whether it's spelling, handwriting, or just getting thoughts onto the page. It's not a lack of ideas; it's the disconnect between the brain and the pen (or keyboard). In this workshop, we teach a different way to write: using dictation. Not just pressing the mic button, but learning how to use dictation properly — as a skill and a workflow. You'll learn how to speak great paragraphs, edit with ease, and use dictation in everything from classwork to exams. It's not about cutting corners — it's about unlocking what's already in your head.

  • Learn to use dictation with structure and confidence
  • Build a workflow that works for creative writing, essays, and answers
  • Use tools that help process your ideas and make writing smoother
  • Make written output easier, faster, and more natural

Workshop 3: Super Brain

STUDYING, SMARTER

For many students with dyslexia, the biggest frustration is knowing the content — but not seeing that reflected in their grades. The first two workshops help unlock reading and writing, but this one takes it further: how do you learn and remember in a way that works for your brain? In this session, we teach dyslexia-friendly study methods that actually stick. From how to understand and process tricky topics, to how to lock in key facts and recall them when it matters — like in a test. We also explore clever tools (including a few AI-powered ones) that support memory, confidence, and revision. These techniques don’t just improve performance — they help students realise how capable they really are.

  • Study techniques built for dyslexic brains
  • Tools and tricks to boost memory and recall
  • Learn how to understand complex material more easily
  • Use AI to summarise, quiz, and reinforce key ideas

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the course and how it can help your child

Q.

What exactly is the course about?

It’s a three-part workshop series designed to help dyslexic students learn in smarter, more efficient ways. It introduces tools like screen readers, voice dictation, and AI to remove learning barriers and build confidence.

Q.

How long is the course?

The core of the course is delivered in three live, one-hour workshops. These sessions are practical, interactive, and designed to build on each other.

Q.

Who created the course?

Jamie Briggs, a 19-year-old student with dyslexia who has gone on to succeed at school and university. After helping other students with similar challenges, he created this course to share what actually works in real life.

Q.

Do I need to do anything before the course begins?

Yes—before each workshop, there’ll be a short setup task (usually less than 20 minutes) to make sure you’re ready to get the most out of the session. This might include installing an app or testing a tool we’ll be using. To support you, you’ll also have access to the Support Toolbox—a collection of bite-sized demo videos and written instructions so everything is clear, simple, and ready to go.

Q.

What age group is the course suitable for?

It’s ideal for children aged 11–16, though older or younger students may still benefit depending on their level of independence.

Q.

What’s in the Support Toolbox?

The Toolbox includes step-by-step demos of every tool shown in the course, clear written instructions, troubleshooting help, and ongoing support if your child gets stuck. It’s there to make sure every student can follow along and succeed—even outside of the live sessions.

Q.

What technology do we need for the course?

You’ll need a laptop or desktop computer for the workshops. A tablet or smartphone is also very helpful, especially for practising scanning physical text and using dictation apps.

Q.

My child struggles with reading—will this still help?

Definitely. The course is built to support children who find reading and writing difficult. It focuses on alternative methods of taking in and expressing information that bypass the traditional route.

Q.

Is any prior technical knowledge needed?

That’s absolutely fine. Everything is explained step by step during the course and backed up in the Toolbox so they can practise at their own pace. Parent support during the activities is encouraged but not essential.

Q.

What if the course doesn’t work for my child?

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you feel the course didn’t provide value. There’s no risk in trying it.

Q.

Can we just try one session first?

Because the sessions build on each other, we recommend committing to the full course. However, if after the first session you feel it’s not a good fit, we’ll give you a full refund—no questions asked.

Q.

My child is also autistic / has ADHD / is neurodivergent—will this help?

The course is specifically designed for dyslexia. However, as someone with both dyslexia and ADHD, Jamie has built in techniques that also help with focus, processing speed, and engagement. Many parents of neurodivergent children have found the strategies useful across the board.

Q.

Do parents need to attend the sessions?

Not required, but encouraged—especially during the activities. Your support can make a difference in helping your child feel confident using the tools.

Q.

We’re really busy—how much time does this take?

Each workshop is just one hour. Outside of that, students are encouraged to practise using the tools in daily life, but everything is designed to save time and reduce learning frustration long-term.

Q.

What laptop or computer should I get?

I’d recommend getting a Windows laptop, since around 72% of computers worldwide run Windows, meaning nearly all software (especially for school) is designed to work best on it. Windows isn’t a brand — it’s an operating system — so you’ll find plenty of options at different prices. For students, almost any new laptop running Windows 11 will be perfect for writing, reading, and browsing. I’d also suggest a 14-inch screen, which is the ideal balance between portability and comfort for school use.
