Megan Longville is an experienced Dyslexia Diagnostician and 1-1 Study Skills Tutor. She supports artists and creative practitioners with skill strategies relating to essays, revision/memory, presentations, research, challenges associated with dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD and ADD including short term memory, speed of processing issues, spelling, analytical/critical writing, proof reading and editing, presentation and performance.
In her experience of 28 years, Megan has worked with many students and professionals who have been creative artists such as graphic designers, illustrators, textile designers, stage and set designers, musicians and singers.
Course programmes include written studies and dissertations and despite students’ extremely high musical/theatrical abilities, end grades may be severely hampered by specific learning challenges such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD or ADD. Through her work, Megan aims to help level the playing field in the form of academic study support, enabling more automatous learning. She has taught for many universities in Wales and England and now teaches privately via an agency and independent requests, online and face to face.
