My Summary

My Experience

I have 15 years of experience as a Teaching Assistant, Higher Level Teaching Assistant, Emotional Literacy Support Assistant and Tutor (primary age and school phobic secondary).

I have SEN and behavioural experience having worked as a member of a primary inclusion team for many years as well as in a number of schools - reception to secondary, mainstream and special schools and in residential children's homes.

I have set up and run art and gardening clubs, worked as a one-to-one tutor, helped children of all ages understand and remove their barriers to learning.

I am well known for my patience with children and have had lots of success teaching children of all ages to read and write - where they have struggled at school.

I have worked with children with autism, ADHD, visually impaired, ODD, FDD, school phobic and selective mutes. I have my own lovely son - now 19 and about to fly the nest for uni, as well as 4 nieces and 2 nephews.

I love working with children and am known to be patient, fun and able to put in behavioural boundaries.
