As a specialist tutor…

I create structured, multisensory interventions personalised to children’s needs. Additionally, planning is informed by input from parents, school reports, and any formal reports children may have.

As a specialist assessor, I…

  • assess and write diagnostic assessment reports for students with literacy difficulties, which lay out whether or not a student presents with a dyslexic profile

  • administer, score, and interpret key cognitive assessments, which provide information on student learning in the following areas:

    • verbal and visual reasoning

    • short term and working memory

    • phonological awareness, phonological memory, and processing speed

    • reading and spelling

    • writing and handwriting

  • provide tailored recommendations for parents, classroom teachers, and specialists, based on children’s performance on these cognitive assessments.

As a general tutor…

I prepare lessons which teach, reinforce, or extend children’s understanding, skills, and confidence, building on their background knowledge and drawing from their interests.
