About the Business

I am a UK (B.Ed. Hons) fully qualified teacher. I have additional Post-Graduate qualifications in Speech and Language difficulties (PG Cert Language and Communication Impairment in Children). As I teach in schools on a day to day basis I hold an Enhanced CRB check.

I have 18 years teaching experience. For the last 11 years I have worked in a specialist role teaching and supporting children with speech, language and literacy difficulties. My aim is to implement a service for one-to-one home tuition which utilises my specialist skills, used daily in my existing work within schools.

My husband Gavin and I live in North Shields and we have two children, Josh and Daniel. When I'm not working my hobbies include reading, walking, yoga and attempting to improve my culinary skills…..the latter is taking longer than expected.

Literacy - Reading

Literacy - Reading

If your child is finding learning to read a challenge, my intervention programmes will develop your child’s skills by:

  • Ensuring an understanding of basic skills essential to reading.
  • Reinforcement and practice of letter/sound recognition.
  • Fun activities to develop segmenting and blending skills.
  • Strategies for tricky words.

Above all I aim to make reading an enjoyable and purposeful activity.

If your child has difficulty in understanding the meaning of a text, there may be underlying causes for this. I will investigate your child’s:

  • Understanding of sentences.
  • Inference skills.
  • Understanding of vocabulary and key concepts.

I will develop key skills for reading comprehension through a structured programme of both practical and written activities.

Speech and Language

Speech and Language

If your child is experiencing speech and language difficulties, I can provide intervention to develop:

  • Phonological awareness.
  • Understanding of vocabulary.
  • Understanding of concepts.
  • Use of prepositions.
  • Use of verbs.

Please note; though I do not deliver speech therapy, if your child is currently working with a speech therapist I would be more than happy to offer them extra reinforcement of their homework tasks.
