Check out the testimonials below.
Our daughter was recently diagnosed with dyslexia and processing difficulties. Lucy immediately understood her diagnosis, developed a great relationship and inspired our daughter to read by following her interest in skating!
Lucy was able explain the way our son processes information in a way that made complete sense to us. We have tweaked our approach as parents and as a result have reduced the level of anxiety in our home and even took a family trip to the beach! We know we can go to Lucy for qualified and knowledgeable advise when we need.
Lucy has so far worked with us for 8 months. She makes each online session fun for our daughter and creatively finds ways to practise her difficulties with reading. Lottie is more relaxed as she can access sessions from home and it has been wonderful to see her confidence grow.
Lucy's sessions are really fun and never boring! I know what dyslexia is now and I'm great at thinking up ideas and games.
Our son is very anxious in school. Lucy has developed a wonderful relationship with him and school told us that he put his hand up in class last week to answer a question for the first time. Lucy has skilfully built up his self-esteem and he now talks about aspirations and dreams for the future.
Lucy comes to my school and helps with my special eye exercises. We play games to practise my spellings and find ways to read quickly.
