Meet Dr Ingrid Kanuga
Helping parents understand how their child learns and how to support them effectively.
I’m Dr Ingrid Kanuga, and I specialise in helping parents understand how their child learns.
My work focuses on providing clear insight into how a child thinks, processes information, and approaches learning, so that parents can support them with confidence. My work further involves developing Executive Functioning skills, Study Skills and overcoming exam anxiety (through BPS accredited STEPS program).
I have over 20 years of experience in education, research, and applied learning science, supporting children, families, and educators.
My Approach
A clear and structured approach to learning.
I use structured learning assessments (similar to CAT4), combined with insight into learning behaviours and attitudes, to build a complete picture of both ability and mindset.
This means we understand not just what your child can do, but how they approach learning and what may be helping or holding them back.
The outcome is a clear, practical report with recommendations that can be used at home and shared with schools.
Practical, reassuring, and focused on real progress
As both an educator and a parent, I understand how frustrating it can feel when a child is capable but not thriving in their learning.
Parents are often given general advice, but not a clear explanation of why their child is struggling or what to do next.
My aim is to provide clarity, reassurance, and a clear path forward — so you can support your child in a way that is structured, effective, and realistic.
Who I Work With
I work with children and teenagers who:
- are capable but not reaching their potential
- struggle with organisation, focus, or confidence
- are preparing for important exams such as 11+, 13+, SATs, and GCSEs
- would benefit from a clearer, more structured approach to learning
Experience you can trust
My background includes over 20 years of experience in education, research, and applied learning science, with a focus on how the brain learns and how this can be translated into practical strategies.
I have also contributed to conferences, publications, and professional development for educators, sharing evidence-informed approaches to learning and teaching.
Every learner can succeed with the right understanding. I believe that when we understand how a child learns, everything becomes clearer: from how they approach tasks, to how they build confidence and independence. With the right insight and support, every learner can make meaningful progress.
