ABOUT ME
I am a fully qualified Specialist Dyslexia Teacher and Assessor with over 20 years of experience supporting children with special educational needs. My career has included roles as a class teacher, SENCO, a Deputy Headteacher, SEND advisor, giving me a broad understanding of the education system and the unique challenges learners with Specific Learning Difficulties may face. My approach is rooted in empathy, professionalism and a deep belief in every learner’s potential.
I hold an active Assessment Practising Certificate (APC) and AMBDA accreditation; this reflects my commitment to maintaining high standards and keeping abreast of current research and assessment procedures. The APC enables me to provide diagnostic reports that are fully compliant with the criteria for DSA (Disabled Students’ Allowance) applications at university level.
In order to ensure accessibility and flexibility for families and schools across the UK and internationally, I offer face-to-face and online diagnostic dyslexia assessments for primary and secondary-aged children (up to the age of 18), working closely with parents and schools to provide clear, evidence-based insights. I also support schools with training, consultation and assessment for exam access arrangements. I regularly run online training sessions for parents.
I am based in the N8 area of North London; however, I’m happy to work with clients across all parts of London.
