What our students, families & schools say…
My son had his dyslexia test on the 9/7/18. She was extremely calming made us both feel relaxed enabled him to work at his pace and didn’t make him feel pressured at all. Once I received results, she explained everything to me and was patient with all my questions giving me advice and helping me find the next step to take.
Thank you so much!

Excellent detailed re-assessment and report completed in preparation for EHCP annual review. Highly recommended!

My daughter had a dyslexia screening 8/10/18. We will receive the report in a couple of days. Georgina was very understanding and made my daughter feel very comfortable (to the point that she started to show her little quirks that she reserves for family/close friends only). She was patient and when concentration started to wane, she brought her back to the task at hand. If we need to apply for an EHCP, this lady is the first person that I will be speaking to. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and so relaxed!

Wow, certainly in-depth (assessment report). Great to see lots of practical suggestions and things to work on for teachers and myself.

I just wanted to say thank you for arranging the training session Georgina Smith. As a tutor I found many aspects of it relevant and gleaned a few ideas 🙂

CodeBreakers® Success Stories
Since leaving school I got a place at the local football team academy. It was a two year course and I now play and train in semi professional football and completed a Level 3 Diploma in Sports and Coaching. I worked part time saved and bought my first car and passed my driving test. After finishing my diploma I decided I wanted a full time job. I was successful at interview working for a large leisure company and now work full time in housekeeping and maintenance”

“After leaving school with a negative view of education I later went on to work in the Youth Service. I’ve worked for many years as volunteer with St John’s Ambulance and as an instructor. I have also worked as an ambulance technician for many years. I’ve just been accepted to university for the first time to train as a paramedic”.

Our working mum in Derbyshire had been attending adult education but wanted a more personal approach to learning. Her aim was to be able to support her child with reading and spelling, once they became of school age. She’s now writing more complex sentences and reading with good flow and is passing on good skills for reading and spelling development.
Working Mum, Derbyshire, Age 37
“I’ve successfully completed GCSEs which has now led to a Foundation Diploma in Art after completing the first year of a BTEC with a double star distinction and year 2 with a B. I’m now looking to complete further study in surface pattern design and completed work experience in 2 of the top pottery manufacturing companies in Stoke.
Student, Staffordshire, Age 18
