Abingdon Dyslexia Tutor

Abingdon Dyslexia Tutor British Dyslexia Association Level 5 qualified practitioner. ​Spending over 20 years working as an Accountant I decided to have a complete career change.

This came about from seeing my own child struggle in school and the difficulty in getting the right support. I became interested in understanding how children learn, particularly those who have learning difficulties and disabilities. I realised that the traditional style of teaching used in the classroom does not work for all children. I began to develop teaching practices that were based on kinaesthetic learning, playing games and discovery learning. I am a qualified Level 5 Dyslexia Practitioner accredited by the British Dyslexia Association, experienced in teaching both mainstream and SEND students. Using a multi-sensory approach to learning, I am trained in using the Kelly and Phillips program and the Sound Reading System to help your child achieve success in reading and spelling. I believe in empowering students with the study skills and learning resources they need to achieve success.

🎓 It's the UN International Day of Education today.

This year's day is all about the power of youth in co-creating education - shaping the systems we need for the future.

Right now, our education systems prioritise easily tested skills like rote memorisation and recall, spelling grammar and punctuation, but these are the skills most likely to be taken over by AI.

The skills needed now - and in the future - have evolved - but our education systems have NOT.
Research tells us the skills our education system needs to nurture are:
💫 Creativity
💡 Critical thinking
🚀 Applying knowledge innovatively

All Dyslexic Thinking skills

Yet, standardised tests overlook these strengths.

Supporting teachers and workplaces to recognise Dyslexic Thinking skills, and measure and treasure them, will empower everyone for success and drive innovation in a changing world.

While academic support is critical, the emotional wellbeing of children with dyslexia is just as important - and often overlooked! Every child deserves to feel understood, supported, and confident in themselves.
