WELCOME
The focus of my work is to help individuals to build their self-esteem, and to develop a learning strategy that uses their individual areas of strength to support areas they find more challenging.
I assess and tutor individuals of all ages with maths difficulties.
I assess school-age learners with literacy difficulties.
I usually work from our base in Pinner, or online via Zoom.
I will travel to student's schools for assessments throughout London and the home counties.

Professional Membership of PATOSS
My continuing professional development is verified by PATOSS every 3 years. I also have to reapply for my Assessment Practicing Certificate every 3 years, which guarantees the quality of my work.
Specialist Teaching
My talent is in creating a special rapport with my students. I build a relaxed, positive atmosphere which builds confidence and enables students to reach their full potential.
Unlike conventional tuition, I have expertise in teaching the specific skills students with maths and literacy difficulties need to progress, and my work is underpinned by up-to-date research. ​

Consulting
I can provide a bespoke package for your school, so that you can best support your dyslexic and dyscalculic students. Please call me to discuss your individual needs. ​
I can provide informative and practical training for teachers on how to identify specific learning difficulties within the classroom, the difficulties that such students encounter and how to implement up-to-date evidence-based strategies to support students.
