How I can help your child

Whether you're concerned about a possible diagnosis or looking for ongoing support, I offer specialist services tailored to your child's individual needs.

  • Guidance on next steps for parents

  • Personalised to each child's needs
  • Multisensory teaching methods
  • Focus on literacy and reading skills
  • Regular progress updates for parents

Hi, I'm Helen

I am a qualified teacher with many years of experience of teaching and supporting children in school settings, with a particular focus on literacy difficulties.

I am also a qualified SpLD dyslexia teacher and dyslexia assessor, holding a current APC practising certificate — enabling me to carry out full diagnostic assessments.

As well as diagnostic assessments, I offer engaging, multisensory, and fully personalised one-to-one tuition designed to help each student succeed and reach their full potential.

I hold a current DBS certificate and have up to date public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
