Hannah Martin
BA (Hons)QTS SpLD(Dip) APC

I offer specialist tuition and assessments for children aged 8 and above who are finding reading, writing, or spelling difficult.
I provide:
• Full diagnostic assessments – giving you a clear understanding of your child’s strengths and challenges, which may lead to a formal dyslexia diagnosis.
• Specialist teacher assessments – detailed reports with practical recommendations to support your child’s learning (without a diagnosis).
• One-to-one tuition – personalised lessons that build confidence, reduce frustration, and help your child succeed.
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Specialist Teaching for Literacy-Related Difficulties, plus a Level 7 qualification in Specialist Assessment and Intervention, demonstrating advanced skills in supporting students with dyslexia and other literacy challenges.
I also hold a current Assessment Practising Certificate (APC), meaning my assessments are accredited by SASC (the SpLD Assessment Standards Committee). This ensures that my reports meet national standards and are officially recognised by schools, colleges, and universities. For students entering further or higher education, an APC-backed report can be used to apply for the Disability Students’ Allowance (DSA)—additional financial support covering resources like specialist software, equipment, or one-to-one study skills tuition.
I am deeply committed to identifying learning barriers and helping children build on their strengths. By working closely with both parents and schools, I make sure each student receives the right support to reach their full potential—while also developing a genuine love of learning.
About me
With over 20 years of experience as a primary school teacher and as a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo), I bring a wealth of expertise to my work with children and families. I have supported learners with a wide range of needs, including dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other neurodiverse profiles, giving me a deep understanding of the different ways children learn.
My approach is centred on identifying each learner’s strengths, understanding their challenges, and creating tailored support to help them grow into confident, capable students. My goal is always to empower every child to reach their potential and to thrive both academically and personally.
I hold an enhanced DBS certificate and a current Assessment Practising Certificate (APC). As a member of the Dyslexia Guild and Patoss, I stay informed about the latest developments in dyslexia and learning support, helping me give children and families the most effective help.
