The Joy of Reading

I have been teaching for over 35 years and tutoring since 2011. I am particularly interested in creating a learning environment where all students feel safe and prepared to face their challenges. My passion lies in supporting learners of all ages who have difficulties in mainstream situations.
I use evidence based programs and have trained in the structured synthetic phonics programs: 'Sounds~Write' and 'That Reading Thing'. I also use high quality writing programs such as the direct instruction program 'Expressive Writing', along with 'The Writing Revolution' and 'Talk for Writing'.
