About Me



I first qualified as a primary school teacher in 2003. In this role I encountered children with specific learning difficulties and I wanted to understand how I could support them more effectively. In 2010 I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Dyslexia and Literacy and I have since worked as a specialist teacher with Dyslexia Action and in school and university settings. I have a wide range of experience teaching and assessing learners from primary school age to adults in employment. I currently work as an Associate Assessor with The British Dyslexia Association as well as carrying out private assessments.
I hold the following relevant qualifications:
-
Postgraduate Diploma in Dyslexia and Literacy (Level 7)
-
Current Assessment Practising Certificate awarded by The Dyslexia Guild. I am also on the SASC list of assessors.
-
Postgraduate certificate in Education
-
BSc (Hons) Psychology
In addition to this:
-
I am a member of The Dyslexia Guild
-
I hold a clean enhanced DBS record and Professional Indemnity Insurance.
-
I am Data Protection registered with the Information Commissioner's Office
-
I regularly undertake training to ensure that practice is current and reflects changes in the assessment of specific learning difficulties.
