Why I started Brain Power
Professional expertise, shaped by personal experience.
After more than 20 years as a teacher, I have worked with many incredible children who simply learned differently. Brain Power wasn’t created only because I’m a teacher—it was also shaped by my own experiences as a parent.
Watching my son navigate education with dyslexia helped me understand just how important confidence, understanding and recognising strengths really are.
I hold a Level 7 specialist qualification in dyslexia assessment and tuition, Associate Membership of the British Dyslexia Association (AMBDA), and an Assessment Practising Certificate (APC).
Professional listing: I am listed on the British Dyslexia Association Tutor List.
At the heart of every assessment
Helping children understand themselves.
Every assessment I carry out is about more than identifying difficulties. It provides a clear picture of strengths and areas for development, so that the learner, their family and their school can move forward with greater understanding.
“Every child deserves to feel understood, capable and proud of how they learn.”
Confident
Clear explanations and practical recommendations help children and families see a positive way forward.
Proud
Creativity, reasoning, vocabulary, determination and individual strengths are recognised alongside difficulties.
Where strengths shine
A strengths-first approach, with the learner’s voice at its centre.
My approach is calm, thorough and child-centred. Feedback is shared accessibly with the learner as well as their family and school, helping everyone move forward with a clearer, shared understanding.
