What people are saying.

  • "Catriona's learning techniques have had an amazing impact on my daughters learning. As she entered P4, I was concerned she might be dyslexic due to letter and number reversals and frequent spelling errors. Catriona took the time to explain the spelling rules she would teach and assured me she would let me know if she had any concerns. Within just a few months, I saw a remarkable improvement—especially in my daughter’s confidence and abilities. The positive change was entirely due to Catriona’s tailored support and the learning techniques she refined during P4 - that I was able to support her with. I am deeply grateful for her help and would highly recommend Catriona and the ParentEd teaching to any parent seeking support."

  • "When we moved schools, we were met with some worrying assessment results for our son, who had just started Year 4 (P5). From the beginning, Catriona was honest, supportive, and completely transparent with us. Unlike previous teachers who had told us things would “click eventually,” Catriona recognised that something deeper was going on with his reading. She immediately began working with him using MSL - Multisensory Structured Literacy strategies, supporting him daily with focused, 30-minute sessions. She also involved us every step of the way—sharing practical things we could do at home to help. For the first time, we felt like someone truly understood our son. He was always bright and articulate, and could understand stories when they were read aloud, but reading himself was a huge struggle. Catriona changed all of that. She gave him the tools to start making real progress—and most importantly, she gave him back his confidence. He went from dreading school to actually enjoying it again. We know he still needs regular reinforcement and plenty of practice, but the progress he made with Catriona was life-changing. She didn’t just teach him—she empowered us as parents to feel confident in how to support him. She was always there when we needed help or advice, and her support made all the difference. We are so grateful for everything she has done."

  • We honestly couldn’t be more grateful for the literacy tutoring Catriona gave our daughter, Jean. In such a short time, the progress Jean made was incredible. Catriona just gets how kids learn — her knowledge, her teaching style, and the way she makes everything fun and memorable really made all the difference. Our daughter actually looked forward to her sessions, and it was amazing to see her confidence grow so quickly. Catriona has a real gift for making learning stick in a way that feels exciting, not hard. We’d still have her tutoring her now if she hadn’t moved back to Ireland!
