Objectives

At Helen Arkell, we are passionate about removing barriers to learning and life, such as dyslexia. We want to promote unsung skills, champion new ways of approaching life. We give people the tools they need to learn in their own way. We train dedicated professionals to inspire people to love learning. We help parents to nurture their children and employers to support their staff.

Together we inspire people to believe in themselves, achieve their goals and succeed on their own terms.

"With technologies that help spelling, reading, grammar, memory and organisation many of the dyslexic hurdles are being removed. In tomorrow's world, creativity and attitude will be key to success. These are areas that dyslexics can excel in and I believe there has never been a better time to be dyslexic.

There really is no reason why dyslexics cannot achieve their dreams. We may have to work harder and find our own way, but we will get there in the end! Anything really is possible, just remember there is always a way."  Tom Pellereau.

We believe that people with dyslexia have a lot to offer the world. If you learn to believe in yourself, anything is possible. We go that extra mile to get to know you and find the best way we can help.
