I have had many years experience of teaching KS2 -KS5 learners including those with Specific Learning 'differences' in mainstream education and as a Headteacher in specialised units for Looked After Children. I have a child centred approach to teaching, and learning. After discovering my son had Dyslexia, I decided to train at Manchester Metropolitan University to help learners with these challenges.

I have been supporting school age children for six years and my current students range from 8 - 17 years with Literacy/Dyslexia challenges.

I have supported Dyslexic/ ASD undergraduate students at local and nationwide universities since 2019. 
In my role as a study support tutor I help them work towards degree success.
