Subject: Dyslexic?

Hi.. I am currently teaching a student, who has a lot of trouble writing answers. He has not been diagnosed as dyslexic and doesn't have any problem reading. I am not even sure if he is dyslexic. He's an only child and his parents are not willing to face the fact that he may have a problem.

When teaching him, I discuss questions and answers with him, and he gives me the correct answer. Sometimes I give him the question with the model answer and ask him to read the answer and then write his own answer based on the given answer. ( I do this to help him to organize his answers). when I get his answer script however, I wonder if I have taught him anything at all as his answer is meaningless and does not reflect anything that I have taught him or the things that were written in the model answer script.

It seems to me that he has difficulty actually writing the answers... when orally communicating the answer to me he doesn't seem to have a problem at all. I am very worried about him, as he has failed this exam once before and is spending a lot of money on tuition. He is also very keen and hardworking.

If you do have any advice on how I can help him I would be very grateful.

Thanking you in advance
Suzie
