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

Dyslexia Diagnosis
Do you think your child might be Dyslexic?
Do they get labelled 'lazy'?
Are they finding literacy difficult?
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.
