Dyslexia / Dypraxia / Reading and Writing difficulties support

Is your child having difficulties with reading and writing due to Dyslexia, Dypraxia , ADD or an other unspecified learning difficulties? Is your child struggling with reading in English? Is mastering spelling still a difficulty in spite of endless revisions? Has your child entered the Secondary cycle and is still a reluctant writer or is unable to correct and review his own work? I specialize in tutoring children who have difficulties in reading and writing either due to dyslexia and other literacy challenges/English is not their native language. I am specialized in evidence-based multisensory methods (Orton Gillingham approach) supporting students with literacy, such as: handwriting, reading and decoding.
Upon request, I also give parents suggestions to support school work, spelling strategies, etc. The lessons are on a one to one basis or maximum two students.

I am a qualified special educational needs teacher working in an International school.

About Me

I use strategies which are evidence based, i.e. they are based on the most current research on the acquisition of literacy. The lessons are multi-sensory and highly structured, to assure that your child understands the sound system and logic of the English language. Your child will enjoy these lessons because they will learn through 'play' and multi sensory strategies.
For me it is a joy to discover the challenges of your child, and find the right tool to help him/her improve his reading and writing skills.
Students in the Secondary Cycle are taught strategies to review their work, auto-correct, etc.
The joy of reading and writing is a necessary tool which can be taught to all students if the right methods are used.

Education

Experience / Qualifications

I work in an international school, Belgium tutoring students with dyslexia and other literacy difficulties since 2017. I draft individual learning plans for the students based on their learning challenges. I previously worked at the University of Malta (Theatre Studies Program) tutoring students, improving their English writing skills. I also taught Art for many years. It is through teaching Art that I came across many students with learning difficulties which led me to pursue my studies in Special Educational Needs, specializing mainly in Dyslexia and ADD. This background has given me the resourcefulness and creativity to find solutions for the challenges my students face.

Gamze
Experienced English Teacher (B.S.Ed.) / Gifted Education Mentor (M.S.Ed.)
Hi there! I am an English teacher with 10 years of experience. In addition to teaching at school, I give interactive and holistic English lessons to groups or individuals. My academic field is the education of gifted students. I also conduct out-of-school support activities with these students and provide counseling to parents. Before we start working together, I offer a free initial meeting to get to know you and understand your needs. I am based in Haarlem, the Netherlands but I also offer online classes all over the world. I believe that any kind of effective learning is an adventure that begins with a personal bond and ends with autonomy. Peter Drucker says, "Learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change, and the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn." In this age, every paradigm is changing very fast, so the teacher must help students find out how they learn best. Instead of continuing to deliberately learn something for years, let's find this "know-how" for English and ourselves together!

Speech therapy classes in Ukrainian for children from 4 years old and adults learning Ukrainian.
Hello! I am a speech therapist, I conduct classes online. I conduct classes in Ukrainian. What kind of help do people ask me for? Staging sounds in Ukrainian for children from 4 years old (bilingual, trilingual) and adults if you are learning Ukrainian, you have a good conversational level, but you need clear sounds. I work with bilingual children, help to coordinate words in a sentence (my cat, one hand, blue pants), teach to compose sentences, stories. Fuzzy speech in children. There are no sounds or when the child replaces the sounds sh on c, z on zh, r on l. Beginning from 4.5 years. Does the child "speak out for himself"? Maybe so, maybe not, it is worth not wasting precious time and giving the child the opportunity to speak clearly before school or at school age. Stuttering. Logoneurosis. It is difficult to pronounce words, sentences, the child is out of breath, can not express his opinion. I work according to the method of breathing, development of pace, rhythm, fluency. I work with teenagers, adults of different professions, age, if the lack of sound / sounds is not comfortable, interferes with communication, development in the profession, if the sound was worked, but never appeared in words, if your own voice recording is not fun while listening.
