Siti Asjamiah has been providing English literacy support to learners with dyslexia and other specific learning differences (SpLDs) since 2012. In addition to working directly with students, she serves as a lecturer at the DAS Academy, where she conducts workshops and courses for parents, educators, and both local and international audiences seeking to deepen their understanding of SpLDs and effective support strategies.
Over the years, she has been actively involved in curriculum and resource development for young learners, the design and delivery of courses for adult learners, as well as programme evaluation and research. Currently a Fellow with the Register of Educational Therapists (Asia), Siti strongly believes in the importance of continual learning and reflective practice as foundations for professional growth and effective teaching.
She is committed to empowering learners with SpLDs to develop confidence and independence in their learning, while equipping parents and educators with practical, evidence-based strategies to support learners meaningfully. Through her work, she hopes to inspire a lifelong pursuit of learning in her students and to enable those who guide them to help every learner thrive.
