- Tell me about your qualifications.
I am qualified to design and deliver tailored teaching programmes to those experiencing literacy difficulties, including dyslexia. The methods used are equally effective for those who would like rigorous support with literacy difficulties.
I have two qualifications at Master's level. I received a merit for my Post Graduate Certificate in Specific Learning Difficulties (Dyslexia teaching and assessment qualification). In 2014 I was awarded a Post Graduate Certificate in Autism and Asperger Syndrome, for which I received full marks. I hold a BA (Hons) English Language and Literature 2:1 from UCE (now Birmingham City University), and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (Secondary) English.

Lessons take place in a dedicated room at the front of my house. Hartlebury is easily accessible from Kidderminster or Stourport-on-Severn. It is about twenty minutes from Worcester or Droitwich and half an hour from West or South Birmingham.

My son first went to Stella as struggling with his spelling was undermining his ability to succeed in English and other subjects.
In a short time there was a significant improvement in both his spelling and test results.
Stella also identified that he demonstrated mild dyslexia. We have spoken to his school and he is receiving additional support now.
Her teaching style is very engaging and she uses a wide range of techniques to enrich the learning process.
I would highly recommend Stella.Very good tutor, helped our daughter achieve the exam results she was looking for.
