About Me

Hi:)

My name is Andra, I am 31 years old and originally from Croatia. I came to Scotland in 2019 for a short trip, but ended up falling in love with Edinburgh and decided to stay.

I have many years of experience working with children and young people with additional needs, both as a teacher and as a practitioner.

I am fluent in english and volunteered as an english tutor for a few years, back home as well as in Thailand.


I love the outdoors, I love working with children and I love combining those 2 when possible.

My Experience

For the last 2 years I have been working as a practitioner with children and young people with additional needs within short breaks services.
I have years of experience working with toddlers and young children with learning disabilities, CP and children on the autism spectrum. I have worked as a SEN teacher in Croatia for 18 months, teaching children with multiple disorders and learning challenges.
I hold a master's degree in Educational Rehabilitation, a program that specialises in the field of child development and all activities that encourage it. My major was Creative therapies with a focus on Drama therapy.
I held a couple 2 month drama programs for children with learning disabilities focused on the development of their social skills. I firmly believe that by giving children a safe space and playful tools you can teach them how to effectively maintain friendship, get better control of their own emotional well being and overall get a better understanding of the world that's surrounding them.

I am available to babysit and watch children, but I also offer skill development tutoring. I have experience both in social skills training and in cognitive skills training. I use a very simple and playful approach in these, and aim to get the best out of the children without causing them additional anxiety and frustration.
