Nancy to become a Lipreading Tutor

The number of lipreading tutors in the UK has now dropped below 200. 

One of these is Caroline Court, who will retire in June 2026 and hand the reins of her Lipreading Classes in Milford on Sea to Nancy Weatherson. 

Nancy's many qualifications in the deaf and disability world include being a Level 3 lip speaker.

To enhance her qualification further, Nancy has been accepted as a student on the Lipreading Teachers Training Course at City Lit, Covent Garden. She is one of only 10 who made the grade.

Milford on Sea Community Lipreading Group is sponsoring Nancy's year-long course fees to add teaching qualifications to her repertoire.

About FeelHear

Nancy founded Feelhear in 2018. Her business provides professional support services to deaf and disabled people. She also holds British Sign Language Courses for corporate organisations.

The BSL Act was passed in 2022, which recognises BSL as an official indigenous language in the UK.

In addition to being a British Sign Language teacher and lipspeaker, she is also a Sign and Electronic Notetaker for deaf and hard of hearing adults. 

Alongside this, she is currently running her fourth Introduction to British Sign Language Course in the village and also the founder and host of the New Forest Social Deaf Club each month at The Cave in Miford on Sea.

Nancy has over 20 years of experience in Hotel Management, where she completed her CIPD-HR Masters qualification. This is also where she started her love for British Sign Language when she passed BSL L1 back in 2006. She did this to enable her to communicate with deaf guests who visited her hotel.
