What others had to say?
”My son is buzzing! 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.”

”I would highly recommend Jamie’s course for anyone struggling with dyslexia. His patience, expertise and personalised approach have already made a difference to my son’s learning approach and confidence.”
- Kim Fancourt
”I found Jamie’s video on a Sunday morning scrolling on Instagram. I sent a message asking what the course involved and was met by a message back and a lengthy phone conversation later in the week. Jamie was very knowledgeable and understood the challenges dyslexic learners face first hand. The concerns I have for my son to achieve at an SQA level in school and the barriers faced by the Scottish exam system a one size fits all! I signed my son up for the course and spoke to him afterwards. He was not too keen but I explained how friendly and helpful Jamie was, that he was dyslexic and he agreed to give it a go! The 3 part course was fantastic and my son is now using new apps and technology in school to support him! The parent seminar with Jamie and his dad was a really informative session and hopefully all of the other parents of dyslexic children understand the barriers their child will face and how to overcome these. If you are reading this wondering do I sign my child up to Jamie’s course YES you should. Even if your child is exposed to one thing that will help and support them inside and outside of school then YES sign them up!"

"My 13-year-old daughter and myself just took part in an online course run by Jamie Briggs. My daughter is severely dyslexic and really struggles to retain information. She actually struggles with every aspect of school life. Jamie delivered the course with the patience and understanding that Jeannie needs. He went over things as many times as Jeannie needed him to before she understood. I think the way Jamie has his course spread out over three weeks is perfect for children like Jeannie.
Jeannie has implemented all of the things that Jamie has taught her and is already finding school life more manageable. Chat GPT is an absolute game-changer.
I highly recommend Jamie to any children who are either dyslexic or maybe just have trouble understanding large documents used in school or in life.
Thank you, Jamie, for all of your help. I wish you every success in the future and hope that one day, your course will be available to all schoolchildren."
-Liza Woods, Jeannies mum
"Thanks, Jamie - we found the course really helpful and also inspiring. I think that using your experiences to support others is a brilliant thing to do.
We decided to join after searching for dyslexia tutors online, and I came across your advert. I thought it would be beneficial to my son as you had lived experience of going through the education system with the challenges dyslexia can bring and succeeding. I thought he would be able to relate to you, but also see that success is possible. The course provided this for him. I also learnt lots from the course, both about the benefits of using information technology to compensate for any difficulties my son may encounter, but also to understand more about where his difficulties lie. The text-to-speech and summarising text were definitely the most useful for understanding how best to process information. It is tools I would now use myself as well. Jamie is really personable and fun, making the course enjoyable for all ages. He has a real passion for what he does, and I would highly recommend him. Many thanks, Jamie!"

"I would like to share our experience with Jamie's Dyslexia sessions. My daughter and I found these sessions to be incredibly insightful and beneficial. Jamie provided us with a fantastic toolkit designed to help my daughter thrive in school while effectively managing stress and anxiety.
The sessions were not only informative but also engaging, incorporating fun activities that made learning enjoyable. I highly recommend Jamie's program to anyone looking to support their child with dyslexia! It truly equips them with the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
Many thanks, Jamie"

"Thank you for your Mastering Dyslexia online course.
The course was very accessible with easy instructions in advance of each session, so we could practise using online tools during class time with support.
Jamie was friendly and engaging, and it was helpful to hear Jamie and his Dad share their own dyslexia journeys. The online tools and apps were freely available and could be used on different platforms.
Workshop numbers were limited to 6 participants, which made it easy to receive 1 to 1 support in a small group."
- Fiona McGarva
"Jamie was excellent! Very engaging, patient and clear instructions during the course. Excellent content and examples used. Very knowledgeable on subjects/apps. My daughter was more engaged during these sessions and responded well to your ways of teaching. She really enjoyed the topics covered and is now excited and confident to use the apps/information shared during your course. Definitely recommend this course as it was a real eye opener for Aoibheann and myself to discover what is out there to assist those struggling with dyslexia."

About the Course
Our course is designed to give dyslexic students aged 11 to 16—secondary school age—the tools they need to thrive in school and life. Created by Jamie Briggs, a university student with dyslexia who’s turned his struggles into success, this three-part workshop series introduces proven, practical strategies tailored specifically for dyslexic learners. Students will discover how to learn more effectively, express themselves confidently, and use modern tech tools to level the playing field. Whether your child finds reading hard, avoids writing, or feels like school just doesn’t “fit” how they think—we’re here to help them change that narrative. Each session is engaging, interactive, and supported by short videos and hands-on activities. The course runs in small groups of up to six students, encouraging a relaxed and supportive environment. Parents are encouraged to join in and support their child’s progress every step of the way. The full course costs £99, with other options available—such as 1-to-1 sessions or a self-paced version without the workshops. You can explore these by clicking Find Courses.
Text to Brain
In this workshop, students learn how to absorb information through listening rather than traditional reading. They'll explore tools that read digital and printed text aloud, including built-in screen readers and mobile apps. By the end, they'll know how to turn any text—online or on paper—into spoken words, making reading easier, faster, and far less frustrating.
Brain to Text
This session focuses on helping students express their thoughts without the pressure of writing. They'll be introduced to speech-to-text tools, mind-mapping techniques, and structured speaking strategies. Through hands-on practice, they’ll learn how to turn their spoken ideas into written work confidently and clearly.
This session focuses on study techniques that work specifically for dyslexic learners, helping them revise, retain information, and stay organised. We also introduce AI tools that can be used to summarise content, clarify tricky concepts, and support learning across subjects.

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.
