I am 38 years old who traveled to the UK for a dream and a chance to transform myself into someone better to become a doctor. I came to the uk to attend a foreign medical school (closed in 2nd year for finacial fraud), well to make a long story short this is when I discovered I was dsylexic. I then recalled being in special education and been call retarded for most of my childhood even in times of anger by my sibilings, somehow it was so painful I forgot. I was always competive and stubborn which has brought me to the point of getting a masters (which mentally killed me several times and age me beyond years). However the dark side of the coin is not what I have achieve. it is what I feel inside. Even the distance I travelled, I still have problems reading, writting anything is the scariest think I have to do, and I feel as i get older it becomes harder and my memory of writing classes and what I have learned are gone. It's like I have to go back to remember basic written grammer, English and phonic rules. This has effected me so much, it comes in the way of applying for work which is in my area of study. I lack self confidence and self esteem. In comparison to my peers I always felt inferior and incompetent. This .. this has been the dark secret that I tried to tell friends and family members about but they can't understand. I am desperate to over come these challenges. Please help, because most website and resources are cater to children and not adults. Where can I get help with reading and writing courses to operate at a professional level, and where can I get support to over come years of self doubt, poor self esteem and self-worth. Please help me!

You need to find a multi-sensory reading tutor. Name brands in the U.S. include:
Slingerland, Linda Mood-Bell, Barton Method, and Wilson. See if any of these are available in the UK. You very likely have what is called Specific Language Disability.
