Why work with me?

Personal Experience

Dyslexic myself I have first hand experience of the obstacles people face in terms of processing information; whether it's

accuracy
comprehension
working memory
organisation
visual challenges
phonological awareness
speed
maintaining focus
simply getting the words out
or the destabilising effect these challenges can have on self esteem

I get it and I can help.

Professional Experience

A proven track record with over a decade's experience means I am ideally placed to help pupils overcome the difficulties they face in learning, gain confidence in their abilities and reach their potential.
