Christine Johnson runs a private tutoring centre in Farnborough, Hants, England. The aim is to help adults and children with reading and spelling as well as various special educational needs. The centre is situated in the Borough of Rushmoor which is surrounded by the Boroughs of Hart, Surrey Heath and Guildford. Most of our students come from local areas such as North Camp, Farnborough, Aldershot, Fleet, Camberley and Woking. The multi-sensory techniques used together with the use of computers and one-to-one tuition allow dramatic improvements in reading, writing, spelling, language and thinking skills which specifically help the intelligent dyslexic as well as the slower learner. Although tutoring throughout the working day, it is after school that the majority of the work is carried out.

Christine is a fully qualified SEN (Special Educational Needs) consultant having spent many years in the state education system. An assessment is carried out to ascertain the degree of learning difficulty, if any. Our assessments are based on the Special Needs Assessment Profile (SNAP) by Hodder Murray because of its holistic approach which closely matches ours. Assessments are supplemented by other tests to provide a reading age, spelling age and susceptibility to visual contrast. Preferably, students attend the centre for at least two hours per week and spend most of the time working with our own computer program called SureSpell and the associated procedures called DysCypher which have been specially developed to provide the maximum help in the shortest time.

The procedures used are to develop the cerebellum, connect or reconnect the neural pathways in the brain as well as to improve memory and organisational skills. Not only do these help those who are dyslexic (dysphonetic and/or dyseidetic) but also those who have other speech and language disorders, dyscalculia, dyspraxia and behavioural difficulties such as ADD/ADHD.

Please click on the menu items in the table on the left to find out more. Pages have a coloured background to reduce the contrast normally occurring between black writing on a white background which can adversely affect visually dyslexic people.
