Tutoria — phygital learning for children with dyslexia
A React Native app that pairs printed manipulatives with a guided digital coach, helping children with dyslexia practice phonics in a way that respects their attention and energy.

Tutoria treats reading practice as a physical-digital loop: a child arranges printed letter cards in front of the device, and the app uses the camera and a small on-device model to confirm what they spelled, then narrates the next prompt with a calm, slow voice.
Designing for children with dyslexia changed how I think about UX in general. A few rules that the app keeps strictly:
- Single primary action per screen. No icons-only nav, no long lists.
- OpenDyslexic font as the default, but the user can switch to a familiar font.
- No streaks, no shame. Sessions end on a positive note regardless of accuracy.
- Audio first. Every text prompt is also voiced.
Built with React Native + TypeScript, Expo for the build pipeline, and a tiny on-device Tesseract wrapper for letter-card recognition.
