About Me

As a specialist dyslexia teacher with experience of teaching English at GCSE, KS3 and KS2, I have tried a variety of multi-sensory methods to support students who find spelling and reading problematic.

I must admit that I had limited success in this regard. Using language-based support, many students progressed in terms of grammar and text structure, but spelling and reading fluency was still problematic.

On returning from Abu Dhabi where I worked as a SENCO and English Teacher, I decided to set up my own education and well-being business – the main advantage of this has been having the time to think more deeply about this problem.

Featured Course Books

 

The HF Colour-Code Method Coursebook and Workbook can be purchased as a stand alone. A course can be booked to provide a more in depth explanation of the HF Colour-Code Method. 

The HF Colour-Code Method Coursebook and Workbook Series  explains how to use the HF Colour Codes along with a Phonics Phase 3 – 6 (UK) series which teaches each spelling pattern. The Bundle includes 5 books (also available as a flipbook).   

The HF Colour-Code Bundle includes the following resources: 

  • A coursebook outlining the HF Colour-Code Method. It includes an outline and effectiveness of the approach and ways in which the method can be incorporated to support dyslexic students. 
  • A series of workbooks based on the Phase 5, Phonics (UK) spelling words. These are presented by illustrating one word per page for students to practice. 
  • Phase 3, 4 and 6 wordlists. Each list is colour-coded to use with your students.

In total there are 15 booklets in total! 

  • The booklets can be used directly with your dyslexic students or students who struggle with spelling or reading because of an additional need. They offer a visual approach that improves visual memory so that they can memorise each word. 

 Face to face or online training sessions can be  booked to support the use of the HF Colour-Code Method by emailing your request. 

 

  Further Course will be added to the page at a later date. These include 

  • Colour-Codes and Model Texts to teach Writing. This will teach how to use colours to help memorise sentence structures and paragraph structures. 
  • A Student Centred Approach for Students with Additional Needs. This will provide a method to use students’ interests to teach basic English skills and will provide example books based on topics such as football and cars.

Reviews

Mr Huw is an amazing Teacher! My son asks me to call him because he really enjoy the lessons with him that are really helpful for his improvement. He's always calm and patient, he reviews the topic before the lesson and shares with the parents improvements or weakness. I couldn't ask for more!

The colour-code method helps me break words down. I remember how to spell and read these words in school. The lessons are interesting and fun because I'm interested in what I'm doing.

Huw taught my son prior to his GCSE’s. Huw quickly pinpointed gaps in his learning and helped to give him confidence going into the exams. My son hated his school English lessons, and although he was rather (very!) reluctant to work with a tutor, once we started the sessions he was much more confident about the subject. These lessons have had a positive impact and my son passed his Language and Literature GCSE!

The student-centred approach has really helped me as the lessons are fun and engaging because they're things I'm interested in. Also, the colour codes have improved my spelling!

Huw is an absolute gem! As someone who struggled with dyslexia, I was hesitant to try training, but Huw made the experience so enjoyable and enlightening. He has a natural talent for breaking down complex information and presenting it in a way that's easy to understand. I've seen remarkable improvement in my reading and writing abilities since working with Huw. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their dyslexia skills!
