About Julianne
As a consultant practitioner, I provide creative solutions for parents and young people working with co-occuring educational differences. While I respect labels, I can go deeper than that, looking at the scholastic issues created by the underlying cognitive differences and in particular, their interplay. I go beneath the diagnosis to identify and create working solutions to support young people and their families.
When parents find me, usually by word of mouth, they are frustrated and despondent. Years of ineffective support, coupled with decreasing motivation and self esteem, have begun to affect the whole family unit. I am here to help you turn this around.
My skill in dynamic assessment enables me to spend a few hours with your child and understand the best way for them to learn new material and retain information. I love young people, and understand how to deliver complex information simply, using language they can understand. My teaching is imaginative, my delivery is lively and I have a knack for seeing latent potential and scaffolding teaching to achieve this potential. My kids know that I am ambitious for them, and the respect I earn by seeing past their ‘problem’ can translate into unimaginable success.
I can help you to navigate school. I can help you to write knowledgeable emails which tend to get schools moving. I can help you to understand the long term trajectory for your child, based on their unique profile, and support you on that journey. Best of all, I can help you help your child.
I hold a BA (Hons) in Applied Linguistics and Education and an MA in Special and Inclusive Education. I am a specialist assessor and specialist teacher. I have lectured for UCL/IOE and won DfE grants to upskill parents. I have worked with both state and independent schools, and have been both a school SENCO and an intervention specialist for an academy chain. I also hold a diploma in counselling.
