In my lessons, I employ a variety of effective teaching methods to ensure an enriching educational experience. With a background encompassing over a decade of dedicated work with children with additional support needs, 2 of those years working with children aged 5-12 in school settings, I bring a deep understanding of their diverse learning needs. This experience is complemented by my personal commitment shaped through caring for a younger family member with autism, providing me with profound insights into their challenges and strengths.
I begin by engaging closely with parents and children to understand each student's unique needs and preferences. This initial consultation helps me tailor lessons specifically to cater to their learning styles, interests, and areas requiring additional support. Throughout the sessions, I utilise interactive online platforms that facilitate real-time communication, interactive whiteboards for visual explanations, and multimedia resources such as educational videos and games to enhance learning dynamics and enjoyment. Visual aids like charts, diagrams, and infographics are also incorporated to reinforce key concepts and promote better comprehension.
Moreover, I adapt my teaching strategies based on ongoing assessments and feedback, ensuring that each student progresses at their own pace. Regular communication with parents allows me to provide updates on their child's progress and promptly address any concerns.
As a Makaton-trained educator, I integrate Makaton signs and symbols into my lessons to enhance communication and accessibility, particularly beneficial for students who thrive on visual learning methods. This holistic approach not only supports academic growth but also nurtures confidence and independence in learning.
Overall, my goal is to cultivate a positive and supportive learning environment where every student feels empowered to succeed, regardless of their individual learning needs. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing how I can support your child's educational journey.
