My experience with special educational needs
As an experienced teacher I have taught many students with emotional and SEN; including those diagnosed with ADHD, ADD, Irlen and Rett Syndromes, auditory and memory processing and high functioning Autism. - I assess each student on an individual basis. - Working with parents and students, I devise a flexible, bespoke learning plan to enable a student to achieve their full potential. My approach reflects the wide range of autistic individuals, with each person having a unique combination of characteristics and abilities, necessitating an individual learning plan.

Sarah
June 11, 2025
Sarah is brilliant at working with my daughter who is autistic and has learning difficulties and anxiety. Asked to describe Sarah, she said 'open-minded, intelligent and autism-oriented'. She also describes Sarah as caring, assuring and dependable. She takes a personalised approach which benefits my daughter hugely. Sarah taught my son the entire GCSE curricula, enabling him to achieve a 6, 7 and 8 in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. He'd crashed out of school with autistic burnout and was very unwell when he started online lessons with Sarah. She instantly understood him and rebuilt his confidence. I'll be forever grateful for her knowledge, kindness and support.
