About me
As a qualified teacher and associate member of the Dyslexia Guild, I have over 20 years experience working with young people and adults in a range of educational, vocational and academic settings. Having worked as a secondary school teacher, support assistant in a college setting, and more recently a specialist 1:1 study skills tutor and adviser in a university I have experience of supporting people with a whole breadth of difficulties and disabilities. I am also a certified Irlen screener able to check for reading difficulties and discomfort caused by visual stress.
