As a fully qualified English teacher at a secondary SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) school, I have developed a range of teaching skills and techniques tailored to meet the diverse needs of my students. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered to achieve their full potential.

I specialize in differentiated instruction, ensuring that lessons are accessible to students with varying abilities and emotional needs. I use a range of teaching methods, including interactive activities, group work, and individual tasks, to engage students and cater to different learning styles. My ability to build strong relationships with students, based on trust and respect, allows me to understand their specific challenges and strengths, which informs my teaching strategies.

In terms of academic achievement, I have consistently helped students achieve impressive GCSE results, even those facing significant barriers to learning. My focus on personalized learning plans, coupled with regular assessment and feedback, ensures that students remain motivated and clear on their progress.

I also integrate social and emotional learning (SEL) into my curriculum, recognizing the importance of emotional wellbeing in academic success. Through targeted interventions and a positive behavior management system, I guide students toward both academic achievement and personal growth.

Ultimately, my goal is to equip students with both the literacy skills and the confidence they need to thrive in and beyond the classroom.
