‘My strengths come from the same place as my weaknesses...’
The Times Higher Education Supplement

“I am dyslexic. I am also a writer with a PhD in English literature. Contrary to popular perception, these things are not incompatible. People are often surprised to hear this. Most assume that all dyslexics are aspiring architects, artists or entrepreneurs, not writers having to deal with the messy business of words as the tools of their trade. When I completed my doctorate in English literature at Oxford University in 2002, I was the only dyslexic person to have achieved this as far as I knew. I swung between feeling like a proud pioneer and an isolated freak.”

Adult Dyslexia Support

I work with dyslexic adults, helping them to find ways to maximise their strengths to enable them to overcome their difficulties.

“As a result of my work with Rebecca, I discovered the best ways to study and write. This has made my working process less stressful and tiring and more productive and successful.” Sarah

“Dyslexia tuition with Rebecca has helped me immensely, from getting my ideas out and planning and structuring my argument, to grammar and study/reading strategies.
Her support has enabled me to gain confidence and to produce work to the best of my ability.” Emma

I also run workshops and give talks about adult dyslexia.

NEVERODDOREVEN

I joined a group of fellow dyslexic adults at The Serpentine Gallery, London, and, with artist Abigail Reynolds, we spent several months exploring how we think through designing various activities.

Out of this process emerged a set of unusual games called NEVERODDOREVEN.

The games come as a set of cards. There are 9 unique games. Each game confronts the players with how their mind works and enables them to explore their own way of thinking. You can buy this pack through The Serpentine Gallery.
