I haven't posted here for a while as I'm no longer based in Great Harwood and have mostly been working on Sound Foundations.

But for anyone looking for tuition (home education, GCSE subjects & dyslexia / phonics), I'm now working with Northern Sky Education in Clitheroe. I believe they are the absolute best in this business (and Melanie is currently seeking more outstanding teachers)!

I'm very busy with Sound Foundations - Reading, Writing & Spelling but am interested to know if anyone local needs tuition over the summer - basic reading, writing and spelling, SATs, or GCSE Maths, English or Science.
