NILD Professionally Certified Educational Therapist

Having attained an LLB Law degree, Lorna worked in commercial marketing in the UK, and in 2002 followed her interest in teaching. Her specialist interest lay in helping those students who were clearly bright but were struggling at school, because of learning difficulties. Lorna searched for an analytical programme that would help students with learning challenges and set up NILD Zimbabwe at the beginning of 2012.

Lorna has a passion for children and has spent the last 14 years using NILD educational therapy to help students realise their potential.

Lorna is a literacy specialist, and works with dyslexic students. She also offers a comprehensive, specific assessment to diagnose dyslexia and plan the best intervention to assist these students.

Lorna is married with two adult children.

NILD Professionally certified Educational Therapist

Having seen a younger sibling with dyslexia struggle through school, Nicola was always interested in dyslexia and its impact on self-esteem. She chose this as the topic for her thesis when doing an honours degree in psychology. Nicola’s intention was to become an educational psychologist but she discovered that what she really loved was teaching. NILD has been such a wonderful way to combine her two passions. Being an educational therapist brings such a feeling of reward. Nicola feels as though the programme has given her the opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of children who are battling with Dyslexia.
Nicola is currently overseeing the learning support department at Hellenic Primary School and is a full time NILD educational therapist.
Nicola is married with two children.
