I am a registered teacher with over twenty-five years teaching experience in schools. I primarily taught as a classroom teacher in a Primary School setting, and more recently as an Inclusion Educator, supporting students and teachers in diverse learning.

I am experienced in supporting all aspects of student learning, especially students with reading and writing impairments, such as Dyslexia and Dysgraphia as well as maths challenges including Dyscalculia. I also have experience in coaching students who need strengthening in executive functioning skills such as self-regulation, organisation, focus, and working memory, as well as supporting the anxiety and behaviours that often accompany difficulties with these skills.

As an Educator I aim to

• Support students on their individual learning journey with effective and personalised learning engagements
• Actively pursue and participate in current evidence based approaches and reflect on their effectiveness
• Support students’ personal improvement and wellbeing by fostering a climate of growth mindset
• Develop capacity and self esteem amongst students through strong positive, professional relationships

In my practice I provide

• Explicit and structured tutoring sessions following the Multi-Sensory Playberry Dyslexia Program
• Explicit, structured and multisensory maths teaching for students with persistent maths challenges and delays based on a number of evidence based programs, including the Delta Maths Response to Intervention Program
• Tutoring and Coaching for students with general literacy, numeracy and executive functioning needs
• Mentoring and Coaching for students with school related anxiety and/or school refusal
