About Kathryn
I believe that all students are capable of high achievement when the right expectations and the right teaching are in place.
My role is to make that possible. I set clear, realistic, and appropriately challenging expectations for every learner, then teach them exactly how to meet them. Progress is built step by step, with no gaps left unaddressed.
I do not lower expectations for students who find learning difficult. Instead, I adapt the teaching so that success becomes achievable. This builds both skill and confidence in a meaningful, lasting way.
Students I work with learn how to approach tasks, not just complete them. Over time, they become more independent, more accurate, and more assured in their learning.
I value consistency, clarity, and effort. When these are in place, progress follows.
I offer a short initial consultation to discuss your child’s needs and outline a structured approach.

I am a specialist in English literacy and additional learning needs, offering high-level, structured tuition for primary learners and 11+ preparation.
This is not general tutoring. It is precise, diagnostic teaching built on experience at SENCO and leadership level.
Each programme is designed to identify exactly where a learner is struggling, why, and what needs to happen next. Teaching is systematic, explicit, and results-driven.
Areas of focus:
Reading, writing, spelling, and comprehension
11+ preparation, including exam technique and reasoning skills
Targeted support for dyslexia and related learning differences
Building accuracy, fluency, and confidence through structured methods
Who this is for:
Students who are not progressing with standard tutoring
Learners who require a specialist, structured approach
Families seeking measurable progress and professional expertise
11+ candidates who need more than practice papers
Professional background:
Specialist dyslexia tutor (10+ years)
SENCO and Head of Inclusion in international schools
Experienced in building successful learning systems from the ground up
Strong track record of accelerating literacy and closing gaps
Approach:
Sessions are calm, focused, and purposeful. Every lesson has a clear objective. Progress is monitored and teaching is adapted continuously.
Enquiries are welcome from families who are committed to a structured, long-term approach to progress.
