Jane Opie

I have over 30 years’ experience within education, as a qualified teacher of English, working predominantly in the further education sector, teaching English to young people from 14 upwards and adults and as a manager. I am also qualified as a basic literacy tutor and have experience working with adults to develop their basic literacy skills or equip them for returning to work. I have taught within a range of settings, including designing and delivering bespoke literacy programmes in the workplace. I have also taught and provided support to young people and adults who speak English as a second language.

I have more than 20 years’ experience working with young people and adults with disabilities and specific learning difficulties, providing assessments and tuition to all age ranges.  I have the Post Graduate Diploma in Dyslexia and Assessor Practicing Certificate (APC) from the Professional Association of Teachers of Students with Specific Learning Difficulties (PATOSS)

I enjoy training and have designed and delivered training programmes for schools, colleges, universities and employers and have been involved in a range of interim management and consultancy projects across the UK.

I have close links with trusted experts in dyslexia and specific learning difficulties who provide a range of services including assessment, support and tuition for people with specific learning difficulties including dyslexia and dyspraxia.
