So what's your handwriting story?

We all have one

I'm lucky. Mine is generally a very positive one. Particularly as I've been able to help so many people over the years.

Yours may be too, it's just that you feel your handwriting has deteriorated through less frequent use.

Or maybe your story isn't positive at all. I've heard some terrible accounts over the years. Bad experiences stay with us but don't have to define us. We can take action to change things.

Improving your handwriting will involve reflecting on your story and can be very cathartic. Why not start today?

    My career in education kicked off in 1993 after studying a 4 year teaching degree and graduating with a BEd Hons. I've been in love with teaching from the start and - after 24 years in the classroom (working with hundreds of students) and then as a private tutor - I've been privileged to develop a deep understanding of the learning process and how to help others to develop skills and secure knowledge.

    I've been a Special Needs Coordinator, a Senior Manager in English and Maths, a Special Needs support teacher and a school governor. Oh and a parent to 2 (now adult) children with ADHD :)

    Teaching handwriting has always been a particular passion of mine. As a classroom teacher I saw clearly that students who felt proud of their handwriting had more confidence in learning and communicating. I wanted this for all students and always prioritised short spells of daily practice which had a significant positive impact.

    In 1999 my son was diagnosed with dyspraxia. One of the problems he faced was learning to write and I set out to help him, determined that he would have access to the many benefits and advantages that writing by hand brings.

    It was a long process but one I learned a great deal from. After 20 months of carefully planned, achievable and fun activities he had developed a beautiful, neat cursive style.

    My ability to teach people to improve their handwriting has continued to develop over the years and it has given me great pleasure to put this course together, knowing that it has the potential to help you. I have worked with adults across the world on a 1:1 basis; exciting results from doing so inspired me to create this course so that I could reach a wider audience and help more people.

Transforming my son's handwriting

So here's the reason I first became so focused on understanding how to helping improve handwriting.

My son was diagnosed with dyspraxia when he was 3 years old. He faced a number of challenges starting school, one of which was learning left from right, let alone how to hold a pencil.

The thing is children are smart and start to make comparisons early. Jack wanted to learn to write his name like his classmates. So we set to work.

5 minutes a day for 20 months achieved this transformation. I learnt a great deal in the process and have been privileged to helps hundreds of people make improvements to their handwriting ever since :)

FAQ

  • Is it too late to change my handwriting?

    No! Scientists have discovered that the brain is capable of learning and changing throughout its lifetime. You'll learn more about this in the course.

  • Will my writing end up exactly the same as yours?

    No :) It could be similar but it won't be exactly the same. It will be yours and will evolve as you progress. And at the end of the course we look at ways to personalise your style.

    Even when I was teaching the same specific formations to 30 pupils in a class, I would be able to identify an individual's work from their handwriting.

    Our handwriting is personal to us. That's what makes it special!

  • Will the course work for everyone?

    It will work for everyone who follows the guidance as it is set out.

    If you have specific issues that affect processing information or motor control, more personal guidance will be required. If this is the case please contact me (before you buy the course) to discuss your situation and any queries or concerns. I'll be very happy to hear from you :)

  • If my handwriting doesn't improve can I get a refund?

    We are totally confident that when you follow the course as instructed, your handwriting will improve. In the unlikely event that it is required, we offer a 14 day cooling off period, starting from the date of purchase.

    Our goal is your success! Please remember to use the Facebook group for additional support, clarification and encouragement :)

    I do work 1:1 with clients for an additional fee.
