My Summary
About Me
Though I am a qualified English teacher and worked as a teacher for 5 years, I am now a Senior Practitioner in a children’s home in Castleford. I have over 10 years experience teaching and looking after children, particularly with SEN/ SEMH needs.
I have an autistic younger sibling and therefore have ample experience working with young people who are on the spectrum. I am energetic, reliable and responsible.
I have 10 years of experience working in education, 5 of those as an English teacher. I specialise in teaching students with Special Educational Needs and, as such, can provide personalised teaching as per your child’s needs.
I can ask your child to complete a simple diagnostic test to ascertain their levels, discuss with yourself their targets and provide a plan to help them achieve.
My Experience
I’ve looked after my siblings from a very young age, one of which is autistic.
I’m comfortable with looking after small groups of children; cooking, cleaning and helping with homework. (I also offer tutoring for English for children Key Stage 1-4)
My experience teaching within an alternative provision school allows me to work closely with children of different levels of special educational needs- (including, but not limited to, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, social anxiety, dyslexia and dyspraxia etc). Some of the children I teach are also potentially vulnerable, which requires me to be patient and accommodating of their needs and/or emotions. Each child is different and I would consider myself to be a responsible, fair and flexible person, as a result of my job.
In my current role as Senior Practitioner in a registered children’s home, I am able to manage high levels of need and challenging behaviour.
I am adept at communicating effectively with young people and understanding quickly how to best manage any big emotions.
