Student Support and Tuition

After completing my degree, I decided that I wanted to explore America and I applied to work at the Kentucky Equine Research Center. Following this internship, I returned to the UK to work as a pet sales person in my local garden centre. I also did temporary work at livery stables.

It was then I decided that I wanted to do much more with my life and applied for a graduate assistantship at Hartpury College as a teaching assistant in undergraduate laboratory lessons. I was awarded internship that allowed me to complete one year of Equine Science MSc at Hartpury College for free together with free accommodation and paid for 22 hours a week as an undergraduate teaching assistant.

As a teaching assistant, I could see how I could influence learning in lessons, setting goals and targets for progression over a period of time for students and, of course, seeing my students achieve their qualifications. I then went on to become an LSA for two years and then moved to Oxford to complete PGCE at Oxford Brooke's University, where my teaching career really took off. It was during my employment at Abingdon and Witney College as a study coach that I developed an interest in SpLD/Dyslexia and later qualified as a Specialist  SpLD/Dyslexia Study Skills Tutor.

I feel that with the DSA changes, students are not able to receive the support that they are entitled to and I would like to help these individuals.

My specialities include:

• SpLD/Dyslexia FE and HE student support. 
  
• Employer screening and support for employees in corporations.
  
• Getting students back on track to achieve their goals
  
• Patience and empathy
