I have been a teacher for over 20 years, teaching Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation in secondary and prep schools.

I wanted to change direction and so retrained as a specialist teacher with the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity based in Farnham. This institution is considered to be the gold standard in the world of teaching and assessing children with SpLDs.

While I studied for the level 5 and level 7 diplomas, I continued to teach pupils at home and at Reed’s secondary school in Surrey. I was able to use my many years of classroom experience to move into this new way of teaching and learning.

The number of private pupils has steadily grown through word of mouth and I am now almost at capacity. I love the challenge of working out exactly what each child needs and how best to build their confidence to make sure they are making the most of their amazing abilities.
