Charmaine Tearle
Charmaine Tearle has worked as a Speech and Language Therapist since 2009. Her experience includes work in pre-schools, mainstream schools, language units and special schools settings. Charmaine has developed expertise working with pupils with moderate and complex learning difficulties in school and home settings. Training is of particular interest as Charmaine’s working ethos is to empower parents and teaching staff in communication.
Over the years, I have worked with many different children, from a large variety of backgrounds and all with varying needs. It's clear to say that each individual child requires their own individual programme as no two cases are alike. My passion is to create a programme for the individual, really focussing on their needs and maximising their communication!

Learning is natural
Young children have lively minds from the start. I strive to make the most of this natural quality by enabling them to experience, investigate, interact, and develop in the world of communication.
David's Grandparent
I can honestly state that finding Charmaine was like finding your own personal angel. David took to her straight away and engaged in the work with enthusiasm. In the space of a year, he has gone from being broadly non-verbal, though being able to understand what is being said to him, to being able to hold conversations and having confidence in what he is saying.
I know without Charmaine’s professionalism and expertise, we would not be as advanced as we are now, and I would happily recommend her to anyone who felt their child would benefit from additional therapy.”
