Why I founded Leslie Learning Ltd to help you Overcome Obstacles to Your Education
Max Leslie, MSc, MA (Hons)
It is a pleasure to meet you and welcome to Leslie Learning; my vision of a modern, accessible e-learning platform for students of all backgrounds.
I am an experienced and enthusiastic educator of children and adults with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and those facing a range of challenges to success during school studies. With you or your child as my new student, I hope that we can build a stronger understanding of your school subjects (even the ones you currently dislike... argh!) and general study skills.
My hope is to help you to achieve your potential.
I was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia aged 10, to a dyslexic father (and grandfather), so I know more than most educators about how difficult it can be to live and study in a household with children that have Learning Differences. This is why I founded Leslie Learning in 2021 to provide the services that I wished I'd had access to as a child.
My parents and teachers provided tremendous support whilst growing up, but didn't have all the answers when I struggled with learning in traditional classroom environments. I was bullied by other students and most teachers found it difficult to accommodate my individual needs. My lived experience with a Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD) meant I developed my own coping techniques to "survive" at school.
My hope is to share these insights with you. Now, I might not have all the answers for your circumstances. But 15+ years living with my own diagnosis, over 1,000 hours tutoring students with Learning Differences, and excelling at GCSE & A-Level at Dulwich College as well obtaining outstanding undergraduate & postgraduate degrees from The University of Edinburgh... I believe that I could have more answers than you'll find elsewhere.
I recognise the potential in every student.
I see our many abilities, not our disabilities.
