What a fabulous resource! There are lots videos here of kids talking about their experiences with reading, writing, maths, attention and organisation issues. Plus some great input by some researchers in the field. It really encourages me that research is really trying to understand our kids now! Privileged to work with neurodivergent children and adults!

According to Understood, an organisation dedicated to learning and thinking differences, up to 15% of people around the world have a specific learning disability (SpLD), including Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia (not exhaustive). For kids and adults who are Autistic and/or ADHDers, these rates are significantly higher.

Getting creative with decoding! Some children have had bad experiences with reading in the past and don’t like books and words on paper! That’s ok, we just get creative about how we practice!

I am busily getting setup in Ipswich. I'm hoping to secure an office next week and am crossing fingers I can start moving in the week of the 23rd January. Stay tuned and hopefully I can update address details next week.
I've been working on my website as I'm making a few changes for the new office. I decided to publish even though it's not finished so you could get a better idea of my services. Please be patient, I expect to get this finished in the next couple of days.

I therefore have lots of vacancies for new clients in QLD and will be offering online lessons as well. My website doesn't have the correct address yet due to some technical issues and I'm hoping to fix that soon.

Due to Covid19 I have closed the business to face to face tutoring. I am now offering one on one online tutoring for English and Primary School Maths via zoom. There are some weekly before and after school positions currently available as well as Saturday positions. I now have some extra time available during the day to tutor students who are now at home but require some extra assistance. Please call me on 0434 888 321 if you'd like more information.
