Dyslexia Specialist Teaching and Assessment

A dyslexia specialist teacher and assessor consults with learners, workplaces, teachers and parents to support learning. This is done through needs-based discussions, psychometric assessment materials, questionnaires and observations. Further consultation is agreed on an individual basis. Following assessment, a full report is written up, which can be shared with all relevant parties, giving details of areas of strength and challenge, as well as recommended support strategies.

I have an Assessment Practicing Certificate (APC) and am accredited with Associate Membership of the British Dyslexia Association (AMBDA). These are considered gold standards in dyslexia assessment and means that assessments are charged at the standard rate set by the British Dyslexia Association.

A dyslexia assessment costs £550.

A dyscalculia assessments cost £550.

An assessment looking at both dyslexia and dyscalculia costs £900 and takes place over two or three separate sessions.

My tutoring rate is £60 per hour. Most learners have an hour-long session, but some prefer a half hour session (£30). Currently, my tutoring lists are full.

Formal assessment is most appropriate over eight years of age and up to any age. However, a more needs-based assessment may be appropriate before the age of eight and can be discussed in our initial consultation. An initial consultation is free and goes through what an assessment involves and what might be most appropriate.

A one-off, more specific or in-depth consultation, for example, going through a learner's existing assessment report and/or offering specific educational advice, is £80 per hour.

Yes. I work with a number of schools, higher education establishments and workplaces in Edinburgh and across Scotland to support assessments with learners. I am often contacted by learners or parents directly to arrange tutoring or assessments. I aim to work collaboratively so that we can best support you through your educational journey.

I can offer formal professional training or CPD for schools and workplaces. This can be tailored to your needs, so please to get in touch to discuss this further.
