Helping Children Overcome Reading Struggles — One Word at a Time

Does your child:

Struggle to blend or segment words when reading?

Miss out small connecting words but read longer words with ease?

Leave out words altogether while reading?

Lack fluency or sound hesitant and unsure?

Struggle to understand what they’ve just read?

Seem to be making slow progress despite their effort?

If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone — and help is at hand.

With over 30 years of experience as a teacher and a specialist in dyslexia, phonics, reading, and writing skills, I work with children who find reading difficult — often through no fault of their own. My passion for supporting children with reading challenges led me to complete a Master’s degree in Special Education and Inclusion, deepening my understanding of how to help struggling readers thrive.

I offer one-to-one and small group tutoring sessions tailored to your child’s needs. With focused support and the right strategies, children can make real, lasting progress — often in a surprisingly short time. I’ve seen firsthand how learning to read well boosts a child’s confidence, self-esteem, and overall success at school.

Tutoring is more than just teaching — it’s about unlocking a child’s potential. And nothing is more rewarding than watching a child who has struggled finally begin to succeed.

I have some availability, please get in touch if you would like more information.
