SEN primary tutor KS1-KS2 with four years experience in a wide range of settings

I have been providing high levels of tutoring for students, between the ages of 5-21, with Special Educational Needs for two years. I tutor in English, Maths, Science and History at KS1-KS2 level. I also offer interventions in emotional zones of regulation and art therapy exercises.

Prior to this I have two years experience working as a Learning Support Assistant with SEN primary students. I have worked in private academies, mainstream primary schools, SEN units and residential homes with early year students, primary school students and adult learners. I have taught students with various individual needs including ASD, Auditory Processing Disorder, SEMH, ADHD and Global Delay.

My current training in Art Therapy (Masters level) will further elevate my understanding of creative therapy interventions, which I will continue to apply within tuition sessions to enhance student’s wellbeing and engagement.

My student-centred approach has allowed students to transform as they become more confident in their own abilities and grow educationally, socially and emotionally. I provide high standards of individualised support whilst creating a positive and fun learning environment which allows students to thrive.

I have earned recognition from students, parents, and colleagues as a dedicated educator who cultivates meaningful connections with learners and their families to ensure maximum learning progress. Highlights of my experience include:
- Independently planning lessons whilst tutoring, including my own composed materials, to develop a targeted curriculum.
- Independently creating individualised targets and progress reports for Primary level students.
- Receiving training in sensory cognitive visual and kinaesthetic teaching and utilising these methods to allow students to utilise their individual learning styles.
- Completing NASEN safeguarding training.
- Completing Trauma Informed Teacher training.
- Running Occupational Therapy intervention groups for primary students with Autism, to allow them to improve their gross motor skills.
- Running zone of regulation intervention groups for primary students with anger management difficulties and ADHD.
