Kirsten Jamie
My journey into learning support began during my Early Childhood Studies degree, where I focused my dissertation on dyslexia. Since qualifying as a teacher in 2005 with a PGCE specialising in Mathematics, I’ve worked with learners from Reception to Year 8, including preparing older pupils for Common Entrance 13+ exams. I’ve always found it especially rewarding to support children who find learning more challenging and pride myself on creating a warm, inclusive environment where they can build confidence.
I hold a Level 5 qualification in Teaching Learners with SpLD and a Level 7 Diploma in Assessing for SpLD (Dyslexia), along with an active Assessment Practising Certificate (PATOSS). Over the years, I’ve supported learners with a wide range of neurodiversities including dyslexia, DCD, ADHD and ASD.
Through Glevering Learning Support, I offer assessments, consultations, and practical guidance for both families and schools. I work closely with parents, SENCOs, and external agencies to ensure that each child gets the support they need. Helping young people understand their learning profile and feel empowered in their education is at the heart of everything I do.
“My son has been seeing Kirsten for a few months now, and it wasn't too long before we started seeing positive results in his reading and writing at home and at school. As a result, he's much more confident approaching these tasks, which is great!”
