I am a biology graduate who after many years of teaching in Secondary Schools was inspired by one of my first dyslexic students to specialize in this condition. Having done a years training and gained a British Dyslexia Institute Diploma I returned to teaching in schools and also began my own tutorial business where pupils of all ages came to the classroom in my home. That was over 20 years ago. I am now teaching exclusively online to anywhere in the world. During all this time I have created a whole structured teaching program which includes my unique Initial Word Mnemonic Chant method used in the teaching of High Frequency Words and Homophones both available in book form called Spelling Success. This whole method of mine has taken many functionally illiterate children and transformed them into success stories, gaining high grades in exams, qualifying with first class degrees and going on to secure worthwhile careers. These were children that were dismissed as underachievers. I love this job. I love changing peoples lives for the better.
