My approach

• In my lessons children will develop their skills in phonics, accurate and fluent reading, spelling and phonological awareness. I also teach handwriting, creative writing and reading comprehension.
• I follow a multisensory, structured and cumulative dyslexia literacy teaching programme, and adapt my practice with input from other sources.
• I use a range of fun kinesthetics activities, including movement and play, drawing, games and digital based activities.

• The first few sessions with a new student involve an informal assessment process to identify individual strengths and difficulties. The results from the assessment are used to create a tailor-made programme that addresses the specific needs of each child, utilising their individual interests and talents.
• At the heart of all my teaching is the nurturing of the child’s self- esteem and confidence in their abilities.
• I teach mainly at my home in Haringey, London N8, and in some circumstances at the student’s school.
