Johanna

As someone with dyslexia, I understand the challenges that barriers to learning can bring. My experiences have shaped my passion for supporting students to not only overcome difficulties, but also to thrive.

Tutoring Experience

I’ve been a SEN teacher and tutor for over 16 years, specialising in supporting Neurodivergent students and adults with reading and literacy, study techniques, motivation, managing anxiety, and tackling perfectionism.

Tutoring Approach

Our first session is all about understanding your needs, goals, and motivations—and it’s completely free! Together, we’ll explore how I can support your learning journey and make sure we’re a good match.

Every person learns differently, so I tailor my approach to suit your unique learning style, strengths, and areas for growth. I believe the best learning happens when it’s enjoyable, so I create a friendly and meaningful environment to keep you engaged. We’ll regularly revisit your goals to ensure we’re staying on track and making progress.
