Specialist Learning Support & Tutoring

  • I design personalised support and tutoring programmes for children with diverse learning needs, as well as those aiming to reach their full potential, focusing on literacy, numeracy, organisational skills and effective study techniques to build academic independence.

Diagnostic & Early Intervention Assessments

  • I offer detailed, face-to-face assessments for children experiencing difficulties with literacy, numeracy, memory, processing, or general school progress. These explore potential learning differences and guide effective next steps.

As part of her school success strategies, Kate assists a secondary school student using a tablet.

School Success Strategies

  • I support children through school transitions, helping them develop confidence, self-advocacy skills, and approaches to exams, homework, and social challenges.
