Hi, I’m Rosie
I’m a specialist dyslexia teacher and assessor with more than 20 years’ experience in teaching, and a qualified Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO). Dyslexia runs in my own family, so I understand the challenges first-hand.
- Postgraduate Certificate in Specialist Teaching and Assessment for Dyslexia, Canterbury Christ Church University
- Assessment Practising Certificate (APC). This means I’m qualified to carry out the diagnostic assessments students need to apply for Disabled Students’ Allowance at university.
- Qualified SENCO, so I understand how school support works and what makes a report useful to teachers.
Who I assess
Dyslexia looks different at every age. Wherever you or your child are, an assessment gives you a clear explanation and practical next steps.
PRIMARY SCHOOL · AGES 8–11
Bright and chatty, but reading and spelling just aren’t clicking?
An assessment explains why, and gives you and school a clear plan to help.
SECONDARY SCHOOL · AGES 11–16
Working hard, but falling behind or losing confidence?
It’s never too late. A diagnosis helps your teenager understand how they learn, and helps school see what support works.
COLLEGE, UNI AND WORK · AGES 16–25
Working twice as hard as everyone else to get the same result?
Find out why some tasks take you longer, and what support you could get at university or work.
How it works
Four simple steps, and it’s not a test anyone can fail. Most people find the activities feel more like puzzles and word games.

What families say
“For a long time we thought our son wasn’t very academic and didn’t put much effort in at school. After his diagnosis we realised that he struggles with the processing of language. Rosie has helped our son access the support he needs in school, and restore his confidence.”
CT, parent
“I felt safe and comfortable whilst having my test for Dyslexia. Rosie was patient and understanding and was willing to repeat herself to help me understand. I would definitely recommend Dyslexia Discovery.”
FB, age 13
“She was very patient and welcoming, offering me breaks when I needed them. She took time to explain in detail her reasoning for diagnosing me. Thank you Rosie.”
AR, age 16
