Advert description
I received Distinction in my Advanced GNVQ in Art and Design and a further Distinction in my Foundation Diploma which included Art and Craft Studies specialising in Life Drawing. I have over 18 years experience of working in education working closely with primary age children specialising in working with children with learning difficulties ,ASD and SEN studying for my Level 3 NVQ and a Level 3 Diploma in Teaching and Support work in schools.
Alongside this I worked in a Family Counselling Service providing wellbeing support to children who had suffered trauma through play and Art focussing on comprehension of emotions. I gained my CACHE Level 2 Diploma in Supporting Children and Young People's Mental Health, a Level 2 Certificate in Attachment, Separation and Loss and another Certificate in Child Bereavement.
Within my 18 years of working in schools I trained and studied with a psychology service and gained my ELSA certificate ( Emotional Literacy) where I planned and taught 1.1 or small group sessions of emotional support using Art. I then took it further to gain a Distinction in Art therapy supporting children to express feelings through different mediums and become more confident individual
10 years ago I studied for my Higher Level 4 ( HLTA) TQ and have been planning and teaching whole classes of primary age children in all subjects but specialising in Art.
I currently have my own tutoring business Colora Art Tutoring where I do online tutoring to primary age children and adults with SEN in Art or Wellbeing , also providing 1.1 ELSA/ wellbeing sessions helping to support mental health using a form of Art therapy.
