Wondering if you or someone close to you might have dyslexia?

I’m Philippa Hawkins, a qualified teacher, specialist tutor and dyslexia assessor. I provide professional assessments and tailored one to one support from my home in Haslemere, helping children and young people better understand their learning and build confidence.

How I Can Help

I offer specialist support for children and young people aged 8–18, with a focus on understanding individual learning needs and providing practical, effective support.

About Me

With over 15 years’ experience in education, I have worked across mainstream and specialist settings in both the state and independent sector. I am passionate about helping children and young people access the support they need to succeed and become confident, independent learners.

I am a member of the Dyslexia Guild, hold an Assessment Practising Certificate, and am regulated by SASC.

The Assessment Process

A diagnostic assessment is a clear, structured process designed to understand how a child or young person learns.

From an initial discussion through to a full written report, I guide you through each stage in a calm and supportive way, ensuring you feel informed and confident throughout.

Local Support

Based in Haslemere, I support families across Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire, including Midhurst, Liphook, Petersfield, Farnham, Petworth, Godalming, Hindhead, Chiddingfold and Grayshott.
