Specialist Learning Support & Tutoring

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

  • Practical strategies for children and teens for improved focus, time management, emotional regulation, and learning retention—building the essential skills for academic independence and success.

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.

Parental Coaching & Support

  • I help parents of neurodiverse children implement effective techniques for home, while providing emotional support and advocacy skills for effective school partnerships.

WHY IT MATTERS

A diagnosis is just the beginning. True success comes from providing children with personalised support to develop skills and confidence. My approach delivers immediate, practical strategies that create real-world results.

By connecting schools, parents, and organisations, I create comprehensive support systems that help neurodiverse children thrive independently.

Because every child deserves success—not just in school, but in life

Testimonials

  • "Kate is a fantastic teacher. Her sessions with our son are both engaging and highly productive. She has a wonderfully calm and reassuring manner that immediately puts him at ease – and somehow manages to get more work out of him than we’ve ever seen before!"

  • "Working with Kate has been completely transformative – not just for our son, but for us as parents. We came to her feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help him manage his anxiety and focus at school. Kate immediately put us at ease. She listened without judgment and helped us understand our child’s needs in a way no one else had."

  • "Her strategies were practical, gentle, and incredibly effective. We’ve learned how to support routines, reduce conflict around homework, and advocate more confidently with the school. Most importantly, we feel calmer and more connected as a family."
