My Summary
Send Tutor
About Me
I'm a dedicated and passionate special needs tutor, committed to providing holistic, child-centred support for children and young people (3 to 18 years old) with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
My approach is rooted in the belief that every child, regardless their learning difficulty, or disability/range of impairments, has the potential to thrive when given the right opportunities and guidance tailored to their individual needs and interests.
By tailoring activities to each child’s unique needs, methods of communication and personal interests and incorporating their individual strategies (when OT, SALT and Physiotherapy programmes are in place) in my sessions, I create a learning environment that is engaging and effective.
Keeping in mind that learners particularly benefit from learning that is structured around daily routines that provide opportunities for repetition, I also focus on using each child’s unique environment and daily routines as valuable learning opportunities to develop/consolidate skills. By using multisensory and immersive learning approaches that integrate fun activities and play based into their daily lives, I create opportunities for growth that are both meaningful and engaging. Whether it’s through hands on activities, sensory play, or creative problem solving, I tailor my sessions to align with each child’s individual needs, interests and strengths, and make adaptations to the child/young person’s environment when appropriate, ensuring they have the supports needed in place to thrive.
My ultimate goal is to make learning not just accessible, but enjoyable, helping children and young people with SEND thrive in every aspect of their lives.
