Designed for those with ADHD, dyslexia, or exam anxiety.

Is your bright teen pouring effort into English but still underperforming?

Hi, I'm Katie
I help brilliant but misunderstood students unlock top grades — and feel good about English again.
Is you teen pouring their heart and soul into finishing the 150th episode of Lost rather than reading the damn book they've been set for homework?
I've been there...
I work with all sorts of learners, including brilliant neurodivergent ones across the UK and who think they're the only one not getting it.
Students with ADHD, dyslexia or simply brains that don't 'fit' in mainstream classrooms.
The ones who excel in class but underperform in exams. The ones who say things like:
'I felt a bit lost in English...now I actually understand what I'm doing." RP, year 10
"The learning is fun...it doesn't even feel like a lesson." RD, year 11
"I rediscovered that I actually like creative writing." KG, year 11
I’ve been a secondary English teacher, an ADHD and dyslexia specialist, and I’m also a parent who’s been through the system with my own children. I know the heartbreak of watching your brilliant kid lose confidence, and the stress of trying to figure out how to help — without pushing them away.
Welcome
How is this course different?
It's designed with neuro sparkly students in mind (but it works for everyone): I know what teens struggle and need some extra support, and I know where they're brilliant, so where they need to be challenged more.
Students with ADHD/dyslexia often struggle with academic shame built up over years of feeling inadequate. We tackle these feelings head on so that they no longer hold us back from learning, and we learn to spot all the ways our brains are brilliant so our new found confidence can drive us forward.
It's not just about the exam. My real goal is to get your teen to love English (again). And if you read my testimonials, you'll see that's what I do over and over. Oh, and the grades are pretty great too.

The courses
Three options:Three self-paced online courses covering everything you need for GCSE English Language and Literature:
-
Writing (creative writing + non-fiction) Learn how to craft compelling stories, descriptions, articles, speeches, letters, and reviews. This is where we fix the "I don't know what they want from me" problem.
-
Analysis (reading comprehension) Master how to analyse language, structure, and writer's methods. The skills that turn "I wrote loads but only got a 3" into consistent high grades.
-
Literature (essay writing for set texts) Build confident, convincing arguments about the books, poems, and plays you study in school. Works for all exam boards.
What's in the Programme?
The Live Sessions
3 small group sessions per month (max 8 students). We practice together, work through real exam questions, and you get instant feedback on what's working and what needs fixing.
Sessions focus on whatever your teen needs most right now. Starting GCSE next year? We build foundations. Mocks coming up? We tackle exam technique.
The Feedback
After you complete checkpoint tasks in each course module, I review your work and send you a personalised video message. Not generic comments. Specific, clear guidance on what you did well and exactly how to improve.
My students love this part. One parent said: "You gave her clear, concrete steps to follow. She said that for the first time ever, she actually understood what to do next."
Wordbanks
This is the secret weapon. Most students have brilliant ideas but lose marks because they're using the wrong words. You'll get downloadable word banks with the exact phrases, sentence structures, and vocabulary that get high marks (and the ones to avoid).
Schools assume you'll pick this up. I don't assume. I teach it.

Teens who have lost confidence in English and need to rebuild it
Success in school, and especially in exams is as much about the HOW as the WHAT. The right skills can take your teen's grade from disappointing to WOOHOO! My programme will teach them how.
Taking you from struggling to confident
We learn HOW to write compelling stories, descriptions, articles and speeches.
We learn HOW to analyse language and structure.
We learn HOW to craft a convincing argument about the books, poems and plays we study in school.
And in so doing, we learn what the examiner really wants from us, so that we can get the best grades possible.
Learning with Katie was AMAZING. I feel so much more confident now.
