About Jenny

BA (Hons), PGCE, Level 5 & 7 Dip SpLD, APC, PPM

Fully qualified Level 7 Specialist Teacher and Assessor for Dyslexia/Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs) with over 15 years’ experience working with children and young people across Primary, Secondary, and Further Education settings.

I trained with the British Dyslexia Association (BDA) and the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity (HADC), where I was awarded Distinction. I’m also approved by PATOSS and hold an active Assessment Practising Certificate (APC).

Through my work in specialist provision units, mainstream schools and in my private practice, I have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent young people, including those with dyslexia, ADHD, ASD and DCD. My professional experience also spans the teaching of Modern Foreign Languages and English as an Additional Language (EAL), which has provided strong insights into language learning processes and the specific literacy challenges that can arise when learning English.

My approach combines assessment expertise with classroom- and personal experience and a commitment to nurturing every child’s potential. I ensure that young people feel empowered by a detailed understanding of how they learn and that they, together with their families, feel informed and reassured by insights gained, planned support and clear, practical guidance.
