227: How to Teach Students With Dyslexia
Lois Letchford’s dyslexia came to light at the age of 39, when she faced teaching her seven-year-old non-reading son, Nicholas. Examining her reading failure caused her to adapted and change lessons for her son. The results were dramatic. Lois qualified as a reading specialist to use her non-traditional background, multi-continental experience and passion to assist other failing students. Her teaching and learning have equipped her with a unique skill set and perspective. As a teacher, she considers herself a “literacy problem-solver.”
Reversed: A Memoir is her first book. In this story, she details her dyslexia and the journey of her son’s dramatic failure in first grade. She tells of the twist and turns that promoted her passion and her son’s dramatic academic turn-a-round – as in 2018 he received his Ph.D.

225: Get the Teaching Job You Want with Tanya Bunting
Tanya Bunting is an early year’s practitioner at heart – a teacher through and through! She first came across NLP in 2014 when she decided to take a career break, after 17 years in school leadership. After learning with Dr. Richard Bandler, she was hooked! Tanya couldn’t wait to return to the classroom or to begin working with individual clients to share her skills. Her diverse background supports a number of specialisms including Learning, Life and Career Coaching.
Tanya is a Licensed Trainer of NLP as well as a Clinical Hypnotherapist. She loves combining her skills to assist clients of all ages to follow their dreams. Her mission is to support her clients to believe in themselves, take control and determine their own destiny.
Tanya’s book “Get the Teaching Job You Want”, was a labour of love and written with you in mind. It takes you on a special journey where you experience every step of the application and interview process through stories that entertain and teach you what to do, as well as what not to successfully write a winning application and shine as you tread the boards on your interview stage.
Her unique career path and experience have enabled Tanya to combine her school leadership experience with the latest Neuro-Linguistic Programming [NLP] techniques; and, the suggestions in the complementary hypnosis download, “Your Trance to Shine & Get the Teaching Job You Want”, enable you to take a well-earned rest and program your subconscious mind to thoroughly prepare for that positive mindset – easily accessing all the confidence and motivation you need to secure that teaching job you want.
Tanya now works flexibly as a teacher, trainer, coach and therapist at the Bournemouth Consulting Rooms as well as other venues in Southampton and London. She is a Trainer and Student Liaison Lead for the International College of Clinical Hypnotherapy, as well as a valued member of the Trainer Assistant Teams for Dr. Richard Bandler and Paul McKenna.
Her successful change work includes managing anxiety, overcoming phobias & addictions, trance-forming childbirth and managing weight issues.
Tanya holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis and am a licensed NLP Trainer and Master Practitioner, having studied with Dr. Richard Bandler, a co-creator of Neuro-Linguistic Programming [NLP].
She is a member of the Society of NLP, the General Hypnotherapy Council and an executive member of the British Society of Corporate Coaching and Mentoring.
