 Adelaide - Norwood

Specialist Literacy-Dyslexia-Informed, Evidence-Based, Individualised

Adelaide tutor in EAL, English, English Language, ESL, Reading, TOEFL

I am an experienced literacy and dyslexia teacher specialist, trained in the Orton–Gillingham approach and Yoshimoto Dyslexia programs, with a strong focus on supporting students who find reading, spelling, and writing challenging. Using a structured, systematic, and multi-sensory approach, I explicitly teach all the skills needed for literacy success, tailoring each session to the individual learner. I specialise in identifying underlying gaps, building confidence, and helping students develop skills in reading, spelling, and written expression. I am passionate about creating a supportive, nurturing environment where every child can experience success and become a confident, capable learner.

My Approach to Literacy
I use a structured, systematic, and multi-sensory approach to teaching literacy. This means:
#Skills are taught explicitly and sequentially
#Learning is cumulative and reinforced regularly
#Students engage through visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic methods
#Teaching is individualised to each learner’s needs

This approach is particularly effective for students with:
#Dyslexia
#Reading and spelling difficulties
#Processing challenges
#Low confidence in literacy

My Philosophy
Every child can learn to read with the right instruction.
I am passionate about ensuring that no student is left behind due to gaps in literacy, and I am committed to helping each learner experience success.
