Richmond Dyslexia
I am a qualified Teacher and an accredited Specialist Dyslexia Teacher and Assessor. I hold a Level 5 certificate in Dyslexia: Literacy, Support and Intervention and a Level 7 Diploma in Specific Learning Difficulties from The British Dyslexia Association. I have also been awarded Accredited Teacher Status (ATS) and hold an Assessment Practising Certificate (APC).
I am DBS checked and a professional member of both The British Dyslexia Association and PATOSS (The Professional Association of Teachers of Students with Specific Learning Difficulties).
For more than two decades, I have been a Primary School Teacher and a Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator (SENCO). Currently, I am a Specialist Teacher and Academic Mentor in an Independent Secondary School in West London.
​
I am deeply committed to empowering neurodiverse children and enabling them to reach their full potential. Having first hand knowledge of the challenges that children with dyslexia encounter in the classroom on a daily basis, I recognise the profound impact this can have on their self-esteem and confidence. It is precisely this awareness that has driven me to specialise in dyslexia, as I am passionate about helping young individuals uncover their unique abilities and achieve success.

Assessments and Screening
A dyslexia assessment or screening facilitates early intervention, mitigates frustration, enhances academic performance, and prevents misconceptions. By identifying dyslexia early, we empower individuals to thrive and reach their full potential
​
As an experienced Dyslexia Specialist, I am dedicated to early identification, empowering young people, and providing the understanding and support they require. My focus lies in uncovering each child’s unique strengths and nurturing their growth.
