Specialist literacy support, rooted in the Wolds

"I am extremely happy with the support and approaches used by Natalie when helping us to support pupils at our school. I would strongly recommend Natalie and her fantastic skill set. She was sensitive to our pupils' needs, and her reports have allowed us to support our pupils in the best possible way."

"Natalie provides a calm, professional and child-centred approach when working with pupils, carrying out individual assessments to help identify specific areas of need and inform appropriate next steps. Her work supports schools in developing a clearer understanding of learners' strengths and barriers, ensuring that pupils receive the right support at the right time. She builds strong rapport with children, creating an environment where they feel at ease and able to engage fully throughout the assessment process. Schools value her clear insights and the practical value of her findings in supporting effective provision planning."

"Natalie assessed my son at school, he was at first very reluctant to participate as he dislikes speaking with new people. He is diagnosed with ADHD and this brought challenge to his assessment also, affecting his concentration and movement. Natalie managed both of these obstacles with patience and skill, and in the end they successfully complete his assessment together. Communication with Natalie both during and post assessment was excellent."

"We are incredibly grateful for the support and encouragement our son has received from Natalie. From the very beginning, she has been patient, understanding and genuinely caring, creating a positive and supportive environment where our son feels comfortable and confident. The sessions have helped not only with reading, spelling and learning strategies, but also with building his confidence. We have seen such a positive difference, and it has been wonderful to watch our son become more willing to try things without feeling worried about making mistakes. Natalie keeps me updated with everything she is going to teach each week and then how each session has gone. This is super helpful as we are keen to know what he's learning. Natalie likes to make the session fun and engaging as this is how our son learns best. Natalie is full of praise and he looks forward to the lesson each week. As a parent, it is reassuring to know that your child is being supported by someone who truly understands dyslexia and takes the time to find approaches that work for them as an individual. We cannot thank her enough for all the hard work, patience and dedication. We would highly recommend them to any parent looking for specialist dyslexia support."
