A word of advice, don't tell them you are good at English because your posts on here indicate otherwise. My daughter is dyslexic and she spells college as 'collage'. She is also doing 'early years' at college and loves the work placements in primary school but I fear her dyslexia may prevent her from working in a school in a teaching capacity. She had originally been aiming towards nursery level where written English doesn't have an impact on the children.

Why not opt to work Sundays and just see your boyfriend on Saturdays? Or vice versa.
Its funny but the higher through education you get the more they seem to care about dyslexia, My friends here at lancaster who are dyslexic get 1 to 1 advice and help from a student support person and they get they cost of their text books refunded to them, a dictaphone to record the lectures, a laptop or desktop pc, and thats just the stuff I know about.

I think there would be more call for teachers with dyslexia than you think due to their ability to pass on study skills to younger ones who struggle, and the fact that schools are more often kitted out now with advanced interactive white boards which would most likely have a spell check function so she could still teach well. I had a dyslexic personal tutor at college and he was a brilliant teacher, luckily today its recognised and given the proper acknowledgement that it needs.
