About Us

Hi, I’m Catriona—mum of five and a primary school teacher with over 20 years of experience, specialising in literacy.

Throughout my teaching career, I’ve supported children both in and out of the classroom, with a particular focus on those who struggled with reading, spelling, and writing. I’ve seen first-hand how much progress children can make with the right support—and how empowering it is when parents feel confident helping at home.

Tutoring can be a huge expense, and I truly believe that with a little guidance, parents can provide that same support themselves, in a way that works around busy family life. My husband often says, “I don’t know how to help—I’m not a teacher,” but with simple, step-by-step activities and built-in tips, he can—and so can you.

That’s why I created ParentEd NI—to give parents the tools they need to support their child’s learning at home. Our resources are practical, evidence-based, and designed to build confidence in key literacy skills, without the overwhelm or the high price tag.

Let’s help your child thrive—one small, manageable step at a time.

At ParentEd NI, our mission is to equip parents with simple, effective tools to support their child’s learning at home.

We believe that with the right guidance, every parent can help their child grow in confidence and skill—without the stress or cost of tutoring.

“Small, consistent steps at home can make a big difference in your child’s learning.”

— Catriona, Founder of ParentEd NI
