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 hold the following relevant qualifications:

• Postgraduate Diploma in Dyslexia and Literacy (Level 7) 

• Current Assessment Practising Certificate awarded by The British Dyslexia Association. I am also on the SASC list of assessors. 

• Postgraduate certificate in Education 

• BSc (Hons) Psychology 

     

In addition to this: 

• I am an Associate Member of the British Dyslexia Association (AMBDA) and a member of The Professional Association of Teachers of Students with Specific Learning Difficulties (PATOSS).

• 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.
