My Summary
About Me
I am a UK qualified teacher (QTS) with over 12 years experience across academic settings both in SEND and mainstream. I am currently undertaking NPQ SENDCo training while being a certified Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aider.
I have a trauma-informed approach to teaching and learning, with significant experience supporting students experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties and additional learning needs. I believe in a compassionate, kind but firm approach to behaviour while maintaining clear and appropriate expectations.
I recognise that sometimes a child’s difficulties with learning are not simply about the subject itself. Anxiety, low confidence, emotional regulation difficulties, previous negative experiences or simply feeling overwhelmed can all become barriers to learning. My focus is therefore not just about getting through the work; it is about understanding the child, identifying what is getting in the way, and helping them gradually rebuild their confidence and positively re-engage with learning.

- 7+, 11+ and SATs
- GCSE Foundation Maths, English and Science

- Certified Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aider - ALGEE Action Plan
