Helping Parents

Parents

I have spent many years supporting individual dyslexics, but have now decided to focus my energies on teaching and training the wider audience of parents and teachers.

To this end if you want advice and help beyond the information I have given in this website, then you could contact the BDA- British Dyslexia Association or any local group that supports parents and gives advice on tutors.

You may contact me if you require 1-2 day training sessions for groups of parents. Two are of particular relevance and both are an extension and practice of the skills mentioned in this website.

  • Study Skills Support for your Child at Home

(either Primary or Secondary)

  • Supporting your Child’s Creative and Non-Fiction Writing at Home

(either Primary/early Secondary or GCSE/A LEVEL)
