My experience with special educational needs

I have extensive experience working with SEN/D in mainstream primary and secondary schools and in special provision schools. I also have experience tutoring 1:1 students of all ages and levels, including students with special learning needs.

A bit about me

I am a qualified Secondary MFL (French and Spanish) teacher. I have worked as a teaching assistant in a special provision for children and young adults with autism, as an individual needs assistant and as a higher level teaching assistant in a primary school, and as a class teacher in a therapeutic special provision for children with PTSD and complex trauma. I have extensive experience working with children and young adults with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, disruptive behaviours, PTSD and C-PTSD, etc.

My teaching philosophy

I tailor my teaching/coaching style to each individual student - there is no one size fits all with these things! That said, I am a calm, patient individual with experience working therapeutically with children and young people. I enjoy making students as comfortable as possible while maintaining high expectations of them. Building trust is the first step of the journey!
