About Me
Skills & Experience
My teaching philosophy is holistic, my CV is diverse and my values are rooted in creativity and compassion.
Specific diagnoses
I have recent and substantial experience working with students who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum conditions, ADD, ADHD, anxiety, selective mutism, communication and language delays, visual impairments, dyspraxia, dyslexia and Down’s syndrome. For each child with additional needs I have taught, I have worked closely with the team around that young person: parents, therapists, SENCos. Additionally, I have read and studied more about specific conditions and research-proven ways to teach effectively.
SEMH
I have a wealth of experience teaching children and adults with SEMH needs. Especially since the pandemic, I have found that there are significant barriers to learning for some people who might not have a formal diagnosis. I have been successful in raising aspirations and outcomes of those who have a history of clashing with the traditional schooling system.
Secondary-aged pupils
As part of my self-employed tutor role, I support teenagers around Greater Manchester to raise their grades in GCSE maths. I am able to complement their school education with weekly tailored guidance and practice in areas I identify as needing support. I keep diligent records on their learning to ensure consistent progress.
Adults with SEND and SEMH needs
Alongside my self-employed work, I spend half of my working week teaching Functional Skills to adults who are preparing to re-enter the workforce. I have experience teaching fast-track courses in order for my students to gain important qualifications – namely Level 2 maths and English, which is required for almost all job applications.
Other skills
Since 2020, I have worked as an Au Pair in Spain during the summer holidays. I joined the family I work with for the first time with zero words in Spanish at my disposal. Through living and travelling with them for weeks at a time – along with reading books, watching grammar videos and listening to reggaeton – I have taught myself Spanish. Although I am not fluent, I am able to read books, newspapers and speak Spanish everyday with my family and friends.

My Teaching Philosophy
…How to interact on a deeply personal level…
Teaching is a sacred profession; I began my career with the aspiration to be like the great polymaths of ancient times, like Plato and Ptolemy. During my career, I have found myself drawn to teaching individuals who think differently, those who experience life against the expectation of written curricula and national averages.
For me, working 1-1 with children who have additional needs is vital to ensure their education suits them best. Pupils with SEND should not be put to the back of the class, excluded from teaching or passed off to an assistant. Through my years as a primary school teacher, I have met a vast range of children with additional needs. Each one of those children taught me an incredible amount how to interact on a deeply personal level to pursue learning and self-development.
My practice is trauma informed. I have studied the psychological and physical development of people with trauma and the impact on executive functioning and learning. My entire approach to supporting a student has this at its heart.

Something Sensational About Me
I love a lot of things:
- Music. Especially rock, soul, jazz and folk.
- Art. I have won painting competitions, sold my work and performed at interactive art events in Manchester.
- Nature. The diversity and resilience of life astounds me. I love surrounding myself with the greenness of local nature (or of course orangeness in autumn).
I study a lot of things:
- I have studied classical music for the majority of my life. I enjoy singing or playing with others, writing music and memorising famous pieces on the piano.
- I read about others’ teaching practices daily, alongside recent events that impact our children’s world.
- I am teaching myself Spanish (advanced level) and I am excited to use this to teach myself other languages.
- I read daily about the lives of those with different cultures to me. This is incredibly important to me.
I love to create cross-overs with the things I love:
- I love taking my dog to watch the ducks and geese.
- I love sharing fascinating facts about the night sky with my friends.
- I love watching local artists perform.
- I love making links between nature and the things we as humans create.
