Testimonials
"Laura was the dyslexia tutor for my son when he was in Year 5 and Year 6 of primary school. She was absolutely brilliant with him. I could not recommend her more. She really helped T** tremendously. She helped build his self-esteem and identify his problems. He was always happy going to her house and they had a really great rapport. He ended up doing well in his SATs. I think huge credit to her for this- She was just brilliant. My son is now 14 and we've had various dyslexia tutors. Laura was by far the greatest and if she was carrying on tutoring secondary school age children we would have loved to have her with us still. So I really could not sing her praises more. She's brilliant and so helpful."

"We all feel that if we hadn’t worked with Laura that our son would not have developed his reading, writing and spelling skills in the way he has. She gave him the foundation in order to reach the goals that both himself and school have set for him. He is about to move on to secondary education and even though it’s been a few years since he worked directly with Laura, the skills she taught him at that key stage in his education has allowed him to reach his potential and to head to secondary school with confidence in his literacy ability.
We feel extremely fortunate that our paths crossed and our son had a teacher who’s approach was always tailored to his exact needs. Any child and family would be lucky to have the opportunity to learn with Laura."

"Laura took my son through his dyslexia assessment. I and my son felt in very safe and experienced hands and I would not hesitate to recommend Laura for anything related to a child with suspected dyslexia."

"She is lovely and she helps me a lot. When I didn't have her I was all over the place with my words and now they are very easy and it's easier to read and write."

"Finding Laura was such a relief and game changer for us. Finally having such amazing support from a specialist who really understands how dyslexic brains learn is great! Good-bye phonics books, hello methods that actually work!! She also manages to make learning to read and spell fun and engaging and has the most wonderful manner with the girls. They absolutely love their sessions with her and don’t even mind doing the homework she sets as it is fun and accessible for them. I couldn’t recommend her more highly."

"My son was struggling at school and Laura spent the morning with him trying to find out why his experience at school was such a negative one. The end result was a clear diagnosis of dyslexia and Laura was able to liaise with the SEN department in his school to help make the rest of his time at school a more pleasant and more supported one. She also suggested we get him tested for ADHD and her suspicions were spot on."
