WORK WITH ME!

 Practical support for your child — without needing weekly tutoring

 

Most families work with me through my online literacy courses and parent consultations. These options give you clear, evidence-based guidance you can use at home, even if my 1:1 sessions are full.

Whether you’re looking for a structured starting point, clarity about next steps, or expert reassurance, there’s a way to get support that fits your family.

5 Life-Changing ClarityWorks

Learning Support Strategies

COURSE 1

Basic Reading Foundations

A step-by-step course that teaches the core skills children need to learn to read and spell with confidence. Perfect for beginner readers or children who are struggling with meeting reading and need to build foundations.

Build Reading Fluency

From Sounding Out to Smooth Reading

This course builds on decoding skills and helps children move toward smoother, more confident reading. It introduces syllables, spelling patterns and fluency practice so reading becomes less effortful and more automatic. 
Start Course 2
COURSE 3

From Learning to Read, to Reading to Learn

Designed for children who can decode but still need support with fluency, spelling and longer words. This course introduces morphology, suffixes and more advanced reading patterns to help children read and write with greater independence.

Parent & Carer Consultations

Ideal if you're not sure where to start.

While my 1:1 sessions are limited, I support families through online courses and parent consultations designed to build skills, confidence and clarity.
