About Me

My Qualifications
I have over 25 years of experience in this field – 14 years of which were gained as SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) at Battle Abbey School. As well as this, I recently acquired a PG Certificate in SEND: Real Training. I have a CPT3A: Real Training and an Assessment Practising Certificate: Dyslexia Guild. I am a member of the Dyslexia Guild as well as a registered Test User with the British Psychological Society. I regularly attend professional and relevant courses to update my knowledge.

About Me
I was born and brought up in Johannesburg, South Africa, where I trained as a teacher. After working in the classroom for a few years with primary school children up to 9 years of age, I decided to branch out and specialise in SEN. I have lived in Bexhill-on-Sea for 19 years. My husband and I have 2 grown-up sons who live in London and a little dog called Sammy. In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing tennis, swimming and dog walking.

Why Choose Me?
I feel that I am particularly approachable, good at establishing rapport, and empathetic with pupils and testees. I really enjoy helping children gain confidence in their abilities. Over the years I feel that I have made a difference, particularly in tutoring Maths, as I find it rewarding to make topics less daunting and more accessible to all I teach.
My Services

Dyscalculia Assessments
Dyscalculia is a learning difficulty that affects an individual’s arithmetical skills and number concepts but can also erode confidence.
Tutoring
The Maths and English tutoring services I provide are multi-sensory, fun and educational, and for any child having difficulties keeping up with schoolwork, accessing exams or just needing extra help.
Screening for Neurodiverse Conditions
Screening for conditions such as ADHD can take place with the analysis of appropriate completed questionnaires.
