About us
Is Your Child Struggling With Learning?
You may have noticed your child:
- Avoiding reading, writing or homework
- Becoming anxious, upset or frustrated around schoolwork
- Losing confidence after repeated difficulties
- Struggling to sit still, listen, concentrate or remember instructions
- Shutting down, withdrawing or becoming overwhelmed
- Finding traditional classroom methods too fast, too verbal or too text-heavy
How Huw Can Help
For many children, learning difficulties are not caused by a lack of ability. They happen when the teaching approach does not match how the child thinks, feels or processes information.
Huw’s work is built around a simple idea: when a child feels safe, understood and engaged, learning becomes possible again.
His course materials explain how anxiety, sensory overload, auditory processing difficulties and emotional barriers can affect learning, particularly for dyslexic and neurodiverse learners.
Specialist Tutoring
Personalised tutoring for children and young people who need a different route into learning. Sessions can use visual, kinaesthetic, creative and interest-led strategies to make literacy, English and wider learning more accessible.
Play Therapy
A safe, creative space where children can explore difficult feelings, anxiety, frustration or trauma through play, stories, sand tray work, drama and art. Huw is listed as a certified play therapist on the PTUK register.
Parent Support and Consultancy
Practical guidance for parents who want to better understand their child’s learning needs, communicate with school, reduce homework anxiety and build confidence at home.
Books, Courses and Resources
Huw has developed books, training, worksheets and teaching resources to help parents and educators support dyslexic and neurodiverse learners. His TES shop lists a large library of English, dyslexia and SEN resources.
The Student-Centered Approach
Huw’s approach starts with the child. Instead of asking, “How can we make this child fit the lesson?”, we ask: “How can we adapt learning so it fits the child?”
- The child’s interests and strengths
- Multi-sensory learning
- Movement, play, art, drama and storytelling
- Emotional safety and trust
- Practical strategies parents can use at home
- A therapeutic learning environment built on empathy, acceptance and authenticity
This approach is explored throughout Huw’s course, A Journey into a Student-Centred Approach, which contrasts traditional teacher-led methods with active, multi-sensory and personalised learning.
