All About Me
Personalised. Friendly. Accessible.
I am a fully qualified Primary School Teacher with 15 years experience teaching children in Key Stage 1 and lower Key Stage 2. I have worked in an outstanding local state primary school and for a local independent school. My areas of expertise are phonics, reading and writing. My passion for teaching children to read and write led me to study for a level 5 Diploma in Strategic Teaching Support for Dyslexia and Literacy. I also hold a PGCert in SEND and Disability (level 7) and can administer the relevant psychometric tests and prepare a full diagnostic report for students up to the age of 16.
What I Offer
Full Diagnostic Assessment & Report
Available from September 2024
Spotting dyslexia isn’t always easy and can often be undiagnosed throughout a child's early school years. Signs vary from child to child but can include:
Difficulties with spelling and reading
Speech and language difficulties
An inability to write down ideas
Being disorganised, both at school and in general
Struggling to quickly digest information or follow instructions
Taking longer to complete homework, especially written work
You may have already had discussions with your child's class teacher or SENDCo or simply have concerns about your child based on your observations.
I am able to offer a full diagnostic assessment with written report that you can share with other educational professionals. Knowing how to help your child will give them the confidence they need to shine.
