Become the language teacher your neurodivergent students deserve

Dyslexia Smart Teacher program

Language teachers around the world tell me they see more and more students with dyslexia and ADHD every year, but they don’t know how to help them.

This is NOT a global trend. It’s a reality. Estimates are that 1 out of 5 students has a neurodivergent condition (dyslexia, ADHD, autism, dyscalculia, etc).

But these students face 2 problems:
1. There is still a very low level of awareness, screening and diagnosis (although this is on the rise)
2. Most teachers are not trained to take these students to their highest potential.

This is WHY I created the Dyslexia Smart Teacher program.

This program will take any language teacher to the next level in inclusive teaching. If you teach groups of students in a language school, work in a state school or university, or you are a private tutor, this teacher training program will help you understand and teach any neurodivergent student effectively. But it will also help you create more inclusive learning experiences for ALL your students. And it will increase your level of student satisfaction, student retention, and, in case you run your own teaching practice, higher intakes of new students.

Testimonials

As a teacher, I felt ill equipped to help our pupils with dyslexia and other learning differences as I knew they COULD learn English (if they'd learned their native language then they could totally learn another one), but I didn't know how to assist them in their learning, what would work for them.

Deb Nicholas - Director Little LinguistsItaly

The idea that we can shift the focus from deficits to strengths, talents and potential. And that simple but powerful adjustments can be made in class that can benefit all students, neurodivergent and neurotypical. That empathy and boosting self confidence are really important.

Fran Seftel - English TeacherIH Braga

I was surprised to learn that dyslexia affects more than just reading and spelling; it can also impact language processing, memory, and even listening. I didn’t realize how individualized the challenges could be, and how early intervention and personalized strategies are crucial for supporting learners with dyslexia.

Hind Lamnaoui - English TeacherALC Rabat

It is a really well crafted course and extremely worthwhile. It’s also self-paced, which is a boon when you are working.

What this program is NOT

This program does NOT teach you to diagnose your students. Diagnosis is for diagnosticians. Not for language teachers. But I do believe that it IS any language teacher’s duty to understand how their students learn best, and how their brain works. This is why I created this program.
This program is NOT just another teacher training course. The Dyslexia Smart Teacher course has already changed the lives of many teachers (and their students). You will not be the same teacher again, and you will start seeing your neurodivergent students with different eyes.
This program is NOT about putting extra work on your plate. It is actually the complete opposite. With the Dyslexia-Smart strategies and materials, your work will become easier and more effective, because whatever you do will now work for ALL your students.
