Experienced Specialist Dyslexia Assessor and Tutor.
Services
I offer full diagnostic assessments for dyslexia and specialist tuition for individuals with specific learning difficulties.
About me
My name is Karole Lewis, and I am a qualified teacher with 38 years experience in the classroom. I have taught children aged 9 to 18 years, with a range of abilities and in a variety of schools. My subjects were Psychology at A-level, Biology and Chemistry GCSE, middle school Maths and Science.
I am a member of Patoss – the Professional Association of Teachers of Students with Specific Learning Difficulties. My work is always of the highest standard, as recognised by numerous awards for my teaching. I aim to make assessment or tuition as comfortable as possible by showing friendliness, warmth, patience and understanding.
For you
If you wish to book tuition, we will discuss your needs on the phone and then we can plan sessions. I would usually tutor an individual for one hour per week, but I am flexible if you have a different requirement.
For assessments, there will be a phone consultation and initial discussion, where we will arrange a face-to-face pre-assessment meeting to talk through your needs.
At this meeting, I will talk to the individual being assessed about their perceived strengths and weaknesses. This helps ensure that the day of the assessment will be stress-free.
We will then organise a date and time convenient to yourselves for the assessment to take place. The process will take 3-4 hours, which also allows time for breaks.
Your full diagnostic report will be sent no later than 3 weeks after the assessment date. The report will be e-mailed securely with password protection for your privacy. The document will contain a detailed analysis of the results, and will also make recommendations for both home and school.
Please be aware that, prior to diagnostic assessment, parents/guardians will be asked to complete a confidential questionnaire to provide relevant background information.
I have enhanced DBS clearance and I am fully insured. I am a Registered Data Controller as per the Data Protection Act.
