Experienced English Tutor and SEN specialist

I’m a highly experienced SEN teacher and education specialist with a wealth of experience in teaching and facilitating classes for learners with complex additional needs. I am a highly experienced personal tutor and mostly work with young people who are neurodiverse and have previously struggled within a traditional classroom setting. Otherwise I am predominantly contracted by local councils to deliver classes in addition to working with specialist provision schools and charitable organisations. I love to write and have written plays for the stage and screen (so of which have been performed at regional festivals) and I spend my free time performing stand-up comedy. I am also a trained singer and multi-instrumentalist and as such my life is thoroughly infused with music and the arts. I am practical, hard to flummox and extremely confident within the world of academia. I am a warm, compassionate person who laughs loudly and cares deeply. My experience: I have over 10 years of teaching experience, including targeted intervention for children who struggle within mainstream schooling. As a private tutor I currently work with a range of children and young people with additional needs - providing support from functional skills at KS1 to advanced A-Level tuition. This, I believe is part of what makes me different to other tutors - I obviously want to help your children get the best grades that they can, but I also place real importance on their life skills, and provide support to help them to independently thrive in their academic and professional lives.
