I’m passionate about helping learners of all ages reach their full potential through personalised literacy instruction. With over 25 years of experience teaching reading and spelling, I trained as a dyslexia specialist teacher with the British Dyslexia Association before returning to Australia to continue teaching. My sessions offer evidence-based reading and writing support tailored to all learning needs, including neurodivergence and special educational needs. I plan each session around students’ strengths, goals, and interests, making them supportive, engaging, and confidence-building while closing gaps in learning.
