Approach
-
I believe that every child deserves to understand how they learn - and every parent deserves clear guidance, not guesswork.
-
Parents value not only the insight my assessments provide, but also the reassurance and positivity they feel throughout the process.
-
At the heart of my work is a belief that truly understanding how a child learns is empowering, and is the first step to confidence and growth.
-
I have proven expertise teaching young people with SpLDs such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, ASD and DCD.
-
This background gives me real understanding of how learning difficulties present in classrooms. I am able to interpret assessment results with practical insight and offer targeted advice that can be implemented immediately.
-
Years of teaching children who learn differently have taught me the importance of safety and trust in any assessment. I create a relaxed, supportive testing environment in which children can engage without anxiety.
