What are people saying about Robyn?
  • "I found working with Robyn very easy. She was excellent with communication (even while travelling!) and very accommodating when it came to changing our meeting times. During our face-to-face, she broke information down in a way that was understandable to parents. She made all parties involved feel relaxed - I think this is potentially a difficult thing to do, given the delicate nature of some of the things we discussed."
  • "Clarified and gave evidence to support our thoughts around a student, aided parents to come to terms with the academic capabilities/strengths/weaknesses of their child."

  • Is finding it difficult to learn to read?

  • Providing a written report that explains in plain English what is going on with your child's learning and what we can do to help.
  • Meeting with parents and school staff to discuss how to help and making sure everyone is clear about what to do next.
