Carmel Finnegan

Mrs Finnegan has given my son the confidence he needs to improve his literacy and language skills, using her ‘Cracking the ABC Code Program’. Her lessons are very well organised, and are targeted at the child’s learning needs to help them improve their literacy and language skills, which they are lacking. I couldn’t highly recommend Mrs Finnegan enough, she is an amazing teacher.

Carmel has done an amazing job with my daughter. She was patient and welcoming and made my daughter feel at ease. Carmel did a wonderful job at explaining content in a way that my daughter could understand and we had huge improvements with my daughter’s abilities. We cannot recommend her enough.

I can't recommend Carmel enough. She has been absolutely fantastic with my daughter who was very reluctant to participate in the program at the start. However through Carmel's patience and persistence my daughter eventually began to look forward to her sessions. She made huge improvements in all areas and a 2 year improvement in reading accuracy. She no longer adds in words which was a real issue for her. Carmel is also very good at recognising when my daughter needed a break and then getting back on to task without an issues.
Thank you Carmel your a God send.

I conducted many classroom walkthroughs in Carmel's classrooms and found her to be thorough and inclusive. She differentiated the curriculum appropriately with great detail. Carmel was also our Therapy Dog Handler and went above and beyond in this role to work with students experiencing difficulties accessing the curriculum, those with school refusal and those who had anxiety.
