I've been teaching since 1994. Over the years, I've worked in schools in London, New Zealand and Mallorca, including as a Head of Department. Education has been a huge part of my life, and I still genuinely love what I do.

What matters most to me is understanding the individual behind the difficulties. When a child is struggling, I want to find out why, recognise their strengths and help them get the support they really need. I take my work seriously because I know how much difference the right understanding and support can make, not just academically, but to a child's confidence and self-esteem.

My experience combines years of classroom teaching with specialist dyslexia assessment and intervention. I hold a current Assessment Practising Certificate (APC), demonstrating that my assessment practice meets recognised UK professional standards. Having worked extensively in international schools, I also understand the particular challenges faced by children learning in more than one language.

Today, from my office in southwest Mallorca, I provide specialist dyslexia assessments and structured, one-to-one literacy teaching in English. I work closely with families and liaise with schools where appropriate, always aiming to ensure that the advice and support I provide make a meaningful difference.

  • My husband and I moved to Mallorca with our three children in 2007, and it's been home ever since.

    Outside of teaching, I love getting out into the Tramuntana mountains, keeping fit at the gym and attempting to improve my golf swing! I feel very fortunate to live and work on such a beautiful island.

    I've also enjoyed being involved in the local community through my work as a committee member of Cancer Support Group Mallorca. Taking part in the GR221 fundraising treks through the Tramuntana mountains has been particularly rewarding, combining my love of walking with the opportunity to support a charity that does such valuable work here on the island.

    You can also view my professional membership and accreditation in the Dyslexia Guild members' directory.

  • If you're worried about your child's reading, spelling or writing, it can be difficult to know what help they actually need.

    Whether it's a dyslexia screening, a full diagnostic assessment or specialist one-to-one teaching, I can help you identify the most appropriate next step.

    I also carry out assessments to support applications for examination access arrangements, working with schools where required.

    All assessments and teaching are provided in English from my office in southwest Mallorca.
