Does this sound familiar?

You chose homeschooling for good reasons. Some subjects still feel like a wall.

“Reading lessons end in tears.”

You have tried three phonics programs and none of them seem to stick.

“I'm not sure I'm teaching maths the right way.”

You know your child best, but specialist methods for dyslexia and dyscalculia are a different skill.

“I need one hour where it isn't me.”

Teaching and parenting all day is a lot. A trusted specialist gives you both a break.

You stay in charge of your homeschool. I bring specialist methods for the subjects that are hardest to teach. Together, your child moves forward.

Who I help

Specialist support for children ages 5 to 16

Every plan starts with your child, not a diagnosis. A formal diagnosis is welcome but never required.

ADHD

Short, active, structured sessions that turn restless energy into real focus and finished work.

Autism

Predictable routines, clear visuals and a calm, quiet space where your child can feel safe enough to learn.

Dyslexia

Structured, multisensory reading and spelling that builds fluency step by step, without the shame.

Dyscalculia

Hands on maths that makes numbers make sense, from number sense to times tables to word problems.

Focus & executive function

Planning, organising and getting started. The invisible skills that unlock everything else.

Learning confidence

For the child who has stopped believing they can. Small wins, every week, that rebuild self belief.

Meet Lianne

Quiet, patient and deeply attentive. Exactly what your child needs.

I'm an English teacher from Manchester, England, now teaching at an international school in Málaga, Spain. For 15 years I have specialised in children who learn differently: children with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and dyscalculia.

In that time I have taught children from more than 25 countries. Whatever your family's culture, language or background, I have almost certainly worked with a child just like yours, and I know how to meet them where they are.

My lessons are calm, patient and full of encouragement. I notice the small things: what makes your child light up, what makes them hesitate, and how they learn best. In that steady, reassuring space, children relax, grow in confidence and discover what they are truly capable of.

Every session follows a clear, predictable structure, with short focused activities, plenty of visuals and hands on, multisensory methods. For children with ADHD that means movement and momentum. For autistic children it means calm routines and no surprises. For dyslexia and dyscalculia it means structured, step by step teaching that finally makes reading and numbers click.

I also work closely with you. After every lesson you receive a short written note on what we covered, what is working and one simple idea to try at home, so you always know exactly how your child is progressing.

My teaching is grounded in a Diploma in Child Psychology, and I am now deepening that expertise through a Master's in Psychology. Every new insight from my studies goes straight into how I support your child.

Questions parents ask

Good to know

Does online learning really work for children with ADHD or autism?

Yes, often better than in person. Your child learns at home, in a familiar space, without the noise and social pressure of a classroom. Sessions are interactive, visual and broken into short, focused activities.

Do you have morning sessions for homeschool families?

Yes. I am based in Europe, so my afternoons line up with your homeschool mornings. I offer morning and early afternoon slots on Eastern, Central and Pacific time, and every time is shown in your own time zone when you book.

Will this fit our homeschool curriculum?

Yes. Tell me what you use, whether a boxed curriculum, a co-op plan or your own mix, and I will build our goals around it. Many families use our sessions as their specialist reading or maths block.

Does my child need a formal diagnosis?

No. Many homeschool families come to me simply because they sense something isn't clicking. I work with the child in front of me, and every session comes with a written note you can add to your homeschool records.

What do we need for sessions?

A laptop or tablet with a camera, a quiet corner and a pencil. I send any printable materials in advance.

Let's talk about your child.

A free, no pressure 20 minute video call. You will leave with at least one practical idea you can use at home this week, whether we work together or not.
