EJ Specialist Dyslexia Services
British Dyslexia Association specialist tuition, screening, learning assessment and family support in Trafford and South Manchester.
Supporting children aged 5-16 years with reading, spelling, writing, study skills and learning needs.
I know first-hand how difficult it can be to struggle with learning without understanding why.
I wasn’t diagnosed with dyslexia at school. I found reading and spelling difficult and often felt that I wasn’t as capable as other people. For a long time, I even believed that struggling with these things was somehow a sign that I wasn’t intelligent.
Everything changed when I reached A-Level and had an amazing teacher who helped me discover study strategies that actually worked for me. For the first time, I understood that I could learn — I just needed to find the right ways to do it.
That support changed the direction of my life. I went on to university and achieved a First Class degree.
Having dyslexia myself, and also having a child with dyslexia, has given me a very personal understanding of the challenges that children and young people can face.
It is one of the reasons I am so passionate about what I do. I want children and young people to understand that dyslexia does not define their ability or their potential. With the right support, strategies and encouragement, they can develop their strengths, build confidence and achieve things they may not have believed possible.
At EJ Specialist Dyslexia Services, I combine my personal experience with 17 years of teaching experience and specialist dyslexia teaching, to provide individualised support for children and young people aged 5–16.
If your child is struggling, you don’t have to wait for them to lose confidence before seeking support.
Every child learns differently. At EJ Specialist Dyslexia Services, I provide specialist support tailored to each learner’s individual strengths and needs.
I offer specialist tutoring, study skills support, dyslexia screening and learning assessments for children and young people aged 5–16. I also offer adivce and support to families.
My aim is to help learners develop their skills, build confidence and become more independent in their learning.

Whether your child has been formally diagnosed with dyslexia, or you're simply noticing something isn't clicking for them, you don't need to have all of the answers before getting in touch.
My aim is to understand your child's individual strengths and needs and provide support that works for them.
With 17 years of teaching experience, I provide specialist support for children and young people with dyslexia and literacy difficulties.
I am an accredited British Dyslexia Association specialist teacher (ATS) and I am CCET qualified and registered with the British Psychological Society to carry out educational testing. I am also continuing my training to become a full dyslexia assessor.
