Edinburgh Dyslexic Support

I offer individual, tailored study and life skills support in tertiary education and the workplace.

Going to university or college is exciting but it can also be an expensive and daunting experience. I offer context based, student led, individual support that will make the transition and years in tertiary education easier and fulfilling. What does that mean practically?
• Together we will discuss what you want to achieve… this can be anything from taking good lecture notes to gaining confidence in your studies.
• Together we will create tools that fit with the best way you learn…such as a visual template for essay planning that relates to something you’re interested in.
• Together we will build habits for efficient study…for example doing a rejuvenating activity after each 20 minutes of reading.
• Together we will set up plans that give you time to enjoy not just your studies but also your social life…such as a revision timetable that includes space for hobbies and relaxation.
• Through working together we will form Tools + Habits + Plans that will empower you.
I can also offer support for adults in the workplace. Transitions of any sort whether in education or the work place are challenging, especially for dyslexics, by working together we will identify strategies and tools that will support your success.
So …just a little about me…I have a Joint MA in Literature and History from Edinburgh University and Professional Development Awards in 'Facilitating Inclusive Learning' and in 'Understanding and Supporting Individuals with Dyslexia'.
I also have 10 years of experience of working with disabled students at Edinburgh University.
