About My Kind of Thinking

My Kind of Thinking was founded by Vicki and Alice, experienced teachers and specialist assessors with more than 25 years’ experience supporting individuals with specific learning difficulties (SpLDs). Their vision was to create a professional, accessible assessment service designed specifically for adults and young people who may have struggled for years without clear answers.

Today, My Kind of Thinking works with a team of highly qualified specialist assessors who share the same commitment: helping individuals better understand how they learn and providing practical recommendations that enable meaningful progress.

Our Expertise

We specialise in assessments for adults and older students with SpLDs such as dyslexia, dyspraxia (DCD), and ADHD. Many of our clients come to us after years of uncertainty about their learning differences. Our role is not only to identify challenges, but also to highlight strengths and provide clear, practical guidance that can be applied in education, the workplace, and everyday life.

Our assessors understand the distinct needs of students, professionals, and organisations, ensuring that every assessment is both thorough and relevant to the individual’s circumstances.

Professional Standards

Maintaining the highest professional standards is central to everything we do. Our specialist assessors are affiliated with recognised professional bodies including:

British Dyslexia Association (BDA)
PATOSS
The Dyslexia Guild

All team members hold enhanced DBS checks and professional indemnity insurance, ensuring a safe, trusted, and professionally accountable service. Every assessment and report is carefully quality-assured to maintain accuracy and reliability.

As an assessor-led organisation, we focus on delivering a personal and efficient experience—from prompt booking to the delivery of clear, detailed reports that help clients take the next step with confidence.

Thank you again for being so helpful and quick with your replies. All the advice you have given us has been invaluable and the online assessments have been a quick and easy process, and you have made applying for exam access arrangements much more straightforward than we expected.

Online School

We have used My Kind of Thinking to complete assessments for our students for the last 4 years. Our students find the assessment process a positive experience and Alice always takes the time to talk through the outcomes with us, and we have been able to use the recommendations to help our students as they progress through their courses with us.

International School

Thank you for today.  The assessment was very comprehensive and worthwhile.  It gives us so many answers and will provide extra support for Elena at the university. I really appreciate the kindness you showed her today.

Mum of HE student

Thanks for listening and being supportive. It was a great insight and a big eye-opener, and I wish I had done this months ago!

Sam, Medical Science Student

Vicki always makes our pupils feel at ease – it’s a daunting prospect, having an assessment, but I always tell the girls not to worry, because Mrs Angel is lovely! Results of the assessments are returned promptly, so I can notify teachers of the access arrangements the pupils should practise with in plenty of time for their forthcoming exams.
