Reading struggles aren’t random - they are predictable and fixable.

As a speech pathologist with a focus on literacy, I uncover what’s actually holding your child back and provide targeted, structured support that creates real, lasting change.

It can be tough to see your child get frustrated with letters and words. Sometimes, this can be a sign of dyslexia, a common learning difference that affects how the brain processes language. It’s not about being “smart” or “not smart”, it simply means their brain learns in a unique way.

If you're child has had standard tutoring but you haven't seen any improvement , they may actually need something more specialised. Read Well Spell Well offers a specialised approach to spelling and reading difficulties. Instead of a one-size-fits-all program, I create a learning experience that’s all about your child. By focusing on their specific needs, we can build a strong foundation for reading and spelling, helping them feel empowered and confident in their abilities.

The Read Well Spell Well difference!

My methods aren’t guesses, they’re rooted in the Science of Reading.

Using structured, multisensory techniques, I systematically address gaps in phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. 

This isn’t a quick fix, it’s a permanent solution.

My approach is built on evidence-based instruction. I begin with placement screens to understand your child’s unique literacy profile. This allows me to tailor a learning plan specifically for them. 


My aim is to help your child feel confident and successful while building a strong foundation for a lifetime of reading and spelling

As a speech pathologist with years of experience helping primary school-aged children, I understand the pressures students face.


I have deep empathy for children with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia, and a genuine passion for helping them succeed.


With strong foundations in place your child can reach their full potential.

Having spent many years as a Registered Speech Pathologist with extensive skills in Literacy Intervention, I realised that a lot of children require a level of insight and expertise that goes beyond traditional tutoring and that this was the missing piece of the puzzle for a lot of children, who despite ongoing tutoring, were still struggling with learning the foundations of literacy.


With my focus on helping primary school children to reach their full potential in the areas of reading and spelling, I decided to focus my services on providing specialist dyslexia-informed literacy support, delivered online, Australia-wide. My aim is to ensure that parents are able to privately access the personalised 1:1 support for their child, when they need it, regardless of location.


Drawing on my skills as a speech pathologist, combined with evidence-based literacy approaches and a deep understanding of how children learn to read, my sessions with your child will focus on the underlying skills required for reading and spelling success, not just surface-level practice. This allows your child to make meaningful progress while feeling supported, understood and capable.    

 

The ability to communicate well, not only through voice, but also through reading and writing, has a direct impact on a child's (and subsequent adult's) self-confidence in every aspect of life, from school to relationships and future employment.

I look forward to meeting you and your child and supporting you through this phase in their learning.
