Tutors & Assessors Directory

At Yorkshire Rose Dyslexia, we believe in a dyslexic-friendly society that enables all neurodiverse persons of all ages to reach their full potential.

About our Directory

Assessors can assess and produce reports which help families to seek appropriate help in schools or when applying for exam arrangements.

Some tutors are able to provide reports that can assist with the planning of individual learning programme. Any specific concerns and issues should be discussed and clarified with tutor. This will enable a choice of options to be considered.

First step - ask your school!

We always advice parents to first speak to the class teacher and if possible SENco. You should also check the school’s SEN policy on Dyslexia. Some schools may carry out an assessment or ask advice from Learning Support Services but in our experience, this does not often happen.

Every school must have a SEND dyslexia policy which details the provision for dyslexic students, this should be on the school’s website. Ask your school‘s secretary if you cannot find it on their website.

Disclaimer

Yorkshire Rose Dyslexia does not recommend any specific individual. It is the responsibility of the parent to check for themselves the credentials of the tutor. We always ask and check credentials, certificate of insurance etc… for all assessors and tutors on our Directory but we cannot accept any responsibility for any advice or information given by any tutor on the list.

About Me

I am a SEN specialist teacher for neurodiverse individuals and a consultant. I assess for dyslexia and dyscalculia holding current qualifications with the BDA for dyscalculia AMBDA 22/AMD08010 and Dyslexia with The Dyslexia Guild Certificate No 1222/104. I am also qualified to carry out Assistive Technology Assessments and carry out training. I run INSET for schools as well as surgeries for teachers and parents. I do a lot of consulting for individuals who struggle to remain in full time education. I run the Leicestershire Helpline for dyslexia and dyscalculia with expertise also in co-occurring conditions such as ASD (including Pathological Demand Avoidance PDA), ADHD, and DCD. I worked as a SENDCo for many years as part of senior management and continue to work with parents.
I have run a loan system for borrowing of specialist assistive technology equipment for students and teachers to trial in schools.
