Love Literacy Mount Maunganui provides evidence-based learning support for reading, writing, and spelling using a Structured Literacy approach.
Love Literacy Mount Maunganui provides evidence-based learning support. Our services extend to any learner needing additional literacy support, including those with Dyslexia and other neurodiverse learning difficulties. Our approach is to carry out an initial diagnostic Literacy Assessment for your learner. From this, a comprehensive and detailed learning plan is provided showing areas of literacy needing specific support, alongside literacy strengths. Tutoring is delivered either one-to-one or in a grouping of no more than two learners. Face-to-face or Zoom sessions are available.
About Me:
Hi, my name is Heather and I am a Specialist Educator providing evidence-based learning support. Initially, my career path did not begin in the Education Sector, however, it has helped to shape me to be the teacher I am today. When our eldest child was diagnosed with Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Dysgraphia, we attempted to navigate our way through this and found there was a lack of understanding and support for neurodiverse learners like ours. From there my passion to realign my life and career emerged. I wanted to be able to support my son, as well as families like ours who did not know where to begin, or who to turn to when needing help with how to learn to read, write and spell. To achieve this I completed a year-long SPELD program, which provided me with the New Zealand Certificate in Teaching Individuals with Specific Learning Disabilities. Following this, I worked for a private tutoring service as a Specialist Educator. I now work independently providing evidence-based learning support. To find out more about my journey, you can watch me talk to Arti from Human Chapters here, or listen on Spotify here.
