Looking for a linguistic/synthetic phonics tutor

[Londoncentric]

Hi. I'm new to talk boards so please forgive lack of lingo, etiquette etc!

I'm looking for a synthetic/linguistic phonics tutor for my 9 year old son for some remedial reading/writing/spelling work. He is struggling at school and all the interventions in Action and Action+ have done little to help him catch up.

I've emailed, googled etc but can't find names of tutors that are trained in this way. I've read lots of research on dyslexics.org and RRF so I'm ready to give the systematic synthetic phonics a go before we get pushed any further down the dyslexia/ADHD route by the school and various medical practitioners.

Can anyone help? We live in south London SW16 but can travel south and central London.

Thank you,
Desperate mum
