Helen Fox Specialist Dyslexia Assessor and Teacher Surrey Hampshire West Sussex

Helen Fox

Specialist Assessor

With over 15 years experience working in primary schools, I am absolutely passionate about teaching and supporting children. I was inspired to train as a specialist dyslexia teacher by some of the wonderful children that I worked with in my early days of being a class teacher. I trained at the Helen Arkell Dyslexia charity as a specialist dyslexia teacher and worked as a 1:1 specialist teacher and SENCo for a number of years before continuing my training to be a specialist assessor. I currently continue to work as a specialist teacher and SENCo alongside offering private dyslexia assessments, tutoring and advice.

Emma Taylor

Specialist Assessor

I am an experienced primary school teacher who has worked in both independent and state schools across London and Surrey. Following a short career break to raise my young children, I specialised in supporting children with dyslexia and other additional needs as a specialist dyslexia teacher, before completing the National SENDCo Award and the Helen Arkell Level 7 Diploma in Teaching and Assessing Learners with Dyslexia. For over 15 years, I have worked as a SENDCo, supporting children, families and colleagues, collaborating with a range of professionals to ensure effective provision, and I am passionate about building children's confidence, self-esteem and engagement in learning.
