Kia ora, I’m Kate Hey, a literacy educational tutor.
My programmes are designed and based on your child’s needs and strengths. I will create a personalised programme that is right for your child, working with them one-on-one, in Buddy sessions and or small groups.
Your child’s Dyslexia is their strength
Their brain has been created to work in the most amazing of ways. My approach is to work alongside your child to create a comprehensive and personalised programme that is right for them. I’ll help find your child’s strengths and build on them.
Dyslexia & Literacy Tuition
All our programmes are designed and based on your child’s needs as strengths. We focus on specific strategies to gain independence and literacy success.
Our Programmes
We’ve got lots of different ways to learn, so you can find the one that works best for you. You can do one-on-one sessions, buddy sessions, or small group sessions. Whatever you need, we’ve got you covered!
Dyslexia Screening
Screen Tests available: Using a range of screen tests, we can determine which traits your child may have. This testing is recommended for ages 8 and over.
Screen Testing for Speech and Language
Does your child share amazing stories and ideas that others struggle to understand? Does your child have difficulty expressing themselves?
Is it difficult for them to communicate in school, at home and with friendships?
We are excited to offer the renowned UK-based GL Assessment screening test for Preschool and Primary levels.
COMING SOON – Lego® Therapy Brick Sessions!
With the wonderful Melissa now on our Dare to be Dyslexic team, we are excited to be soon offering Lego Therapy Play sessions.
Playing with LEGO® in a safe environment fosters positive communication skills, social interaction, turn-taking skills, sharing, cooperative problem-solving, and learning new concepts. It nurtures social skills, language, and also critical motor skills. And most importantly, it is FUN! Session times and days are to be confirmed.
If this sounds like the perfect therapy play group for your child – email for more details and to place your name on the list so you don’t miss out!

Testimonial from Teresa Stowers
I have worked closely with Kate for the past two and a half years and have known this lovely lady for many years previous to this. Kate’s natural ability to work with children, especially those with learning difficulties, whilst always remaining calm with a positive attitude, is outstanding. I trust in Kate’s abilities to help children develop their knowledge and develop confidence in themselves and their learning. I highly recommend Kate if you want to see your child grow in confidence and skill.
