I am a qualified specialist dyslexia tutor and assessor and I hold an up-to-date Assessment Practising Certificate (APC), enabling me to carry out full diagnostic dyslexia assessments.

​

I have an MA honours degree in Psychology, completing my thesis in the neurovisual aspects of dyslexia.  I went on to gain many years of experience as a primary school teacher and as a Senco in London schools. I have spent the last five years working in schools and from home as a dyslexia tutor and assessor, collaborating with parents and teachers to best support learners.

​

I work from my home in Herne Hill, offering one-to-one tuition for primary-aged children with dyslexia or undiagnosed literacy difficulties.  I also carry out private diagnostic dyslexia assessments. My teaching is practical, engaging and child centered. Using a wide range of multi sensory resources, I create sessions that are fun, structured and tailored to each child, helping them feel confident, safe and motivated to learn. Every session finishes with a literacy game.  My friendly border terrier occasionally drops in to say hello!

As both a teacher and a parent of a dyslexic child, I understand the importance of working in partnership with families.
