I am a Level 7 Dyslexia Specialist and Level 5 OCN-accredited Dyscalculia Specialist, and a Morrells Handwriting Practitioner, with an M.Ed in Inclusive Education (autism-focused research) and ongoing postgraduate study in autism and mental health.
I support neurodivergent learners, including autistic students, and families navigating complex disability. More than half of my current students are home educated. My work is grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience as a neurodivergent parent carer.
How I Can Help
If you are looking for:
• 1:1 specialist tuition (currently via waiting list)
• Focused consultation for making sense of reports, considering assessment pathways, and building practical support at home.
• Structured literacy and vocabulary resources for immediate use
• Support for home-educated learners
• Evidence-informed guidance through complex needs
You can choose the support that fits your situation.
A Structured, Evidence-Informed Approach
My work combines structured literacy, phonics, spelling, morphology and etymology with practical experience supporting neurodivergent learners.
Learning difficulties are rarely isolated. Dyslexia, dyscalculia, handwriting challenges and broader neurodivergent profiles often overlap. My approach recognises those connections and builds structure rather than overwhelm.
I regularly work with teenagers who have lost confidence in reading. With calm, structured support, progress can be significant within months — including for learners who arrived convinced they “couldn’t read”.
Support is steady, precise and individualised — whether through tuition, consultation or carefully designed teaching resources.
Who I Work With
I work with children and teenagers who:
• Have dyslexia, dyscalculia or handwriting difficulties
• Are autistic or otherwise neurodivergent
• Feel anxious, overwhelmed or discouraged about learning
• Have struggled in mainstream school settings
• Are home educated or attend school and need structured academic support
• Do not yet have a formal diagnosis but clearly benefit from structured help
Many families come to me after years of frustration. My role is not to overwhelm further, but to bring clarity, structure and steady progress.
Structured Literacy Resources for Neurodivergent Learners
These structured literacy resources are grounded in explicit, systematic phonics and morphology teaching.
Structured literacy support is available through specialist tuition and through carefully designed, downloadable structured literacy resources.
Designed by a specialist practitioner and informed by real casework, these materials support:
• Phonics and reading fluency
• Spelling and morphology
• Vocabulary development and word origins
• English, French and German language study
• Home education structure
Resources are practical, clearly sequenced and designed to reduce overwhelm — whether used at home or in the classroom.
You can explore the full collection of structured literacy resources, including phonics and morphology, in The Forge.
Evidence Before Assumption
“Take nothing on its looks; take everything on evidence.”
My work is grounded in research, careful observation and practical experience — not trends or quick fixes. Families who come to me are often overwhelmed by conflicting advice. My approach is steady, structured and rooted in what actually works over time.
