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 an HCPC Registered Psychologist with more than twenty-five years’ experience of working in education and consultancy. I hold a BSc (Honours) degree and PhD in Psychology and a Postgraduate Certificate in dyslexia. I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, am an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, an Associate Member of the British Dyslexia Association and Full Member of PATOSS.
I have worked in research and teaching at several UK universities, and have assessed and supported students across primary, secondary, further and higher education. I have published in peer-reviewed psychology journals and presented at national and international conferences. I have provided consultancy services to private and public sector organisations, including the Home Office, NHS, Microsoft UK, J. Sainsbury and Lloyds TSB.
I have a particular interest in the impact dyslexia can have upon individuals' well-being and the relationship dyslexia has with other neurodiverse conditions such as ADHD and ASD. I use my wealth of experience and skills as a psychologist in providing a holistic approach to assessing and addressing dyslexia.
I am passionate about the need for awareness of dyslexia in schools, colleges and workplaces, in order that individuals with dyslexia are able to thrive and build upon their strengths.
