In-person and online dyslexia assessments and tutoring.
Welcome to my dyslexia assessment and tutoring website
As a qualified dyslexia assessor, specialist teacher, and a parent with a neurodiverse child, I understand the unique challenges you may be facing. Choosing to book an assessment and finding the right tutor are important decisions, and the process can feel overwhelming at times. I aim to make this experience as smooth, supportive, and straightforward as possible for you. I encourage you to contact me for a conversation before booking—I'm here to answer any questions you may have.
When you book an assessment, you'll receive a comprehensive diagnostic report that highlights strengths, challenges, and ways to support learning. My aim is to help you view dyslexia not as a disadvantage, but as a unique and valuable way of thinking. The report will guide you in understanding whether a dyslexia diagnosis is appropriate, and it will provide tailored recommendations for education, the workplace, and home support.
