Unlocking the Joy of Reading: Personalised Support for Your Child’s Success

It is a privilege for me to support and nurture our young people. I simply love working with children - to understand and accept them as we work together to change that tricky thing called reading, into something we can achieve and be confident with - even joyous about!

Having been a young pupil in the bottom set, to being a successful corporate solicitor, reading and drafting reams of documents, I know the positive impact that can be made from removing barriers to learning. 

I have over 21 years of teaching experience to draw on, having taught in both the private and public sector in England and in International Schools abroad. I have run an Early Years department of over 220 children aged 2 to 5, a school for children aged 2 to 12 and baby groups for ages 0 to 3, as well as run a Centre to train adults to become Early Years practitioners.  My diverse background in early childhood development equips me with the skills and knowledge to support children of all abilities, particularly those facing unique learning challenges.

As a specialist in special educational needs, I’ve worked as a Head of Early Years at a school for children with cognitive developmental needs, a Special Needs Coordinator, a Centre Manager for young people with autism, and a Deputy Headteacher for primary and secondary students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. Of every individual I have encountered, it is always my passion to unlock a love of learning through raising self-esteem and giving them the empowering skills for independence. 

As a Reading Doctor, I provide a safe, calm, friendly and nurturing environment so that your child can be relaxed and ready to learn.  I focus entirely on your child, using personalized strategies to address their specific learning style and neurological makeup, ensuring they overcome any reading challenges with confidence. 

I’d be honoured to help your child unlock the power of reading, opening up a world full of imagination, possibilities, and endless opportunities.
