Hina

I am an experienced and dynamic education specialist with over fifteen years of experience supporting young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) across a variety of settings, including further education, outreach, and 1:1 tutoring. I have worked with learners with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), anxiety, global developmental delay, speech and language needs, selective mutism, visual impairment, and SEMH challenges, and anxiety tailoring my teaching to meet each student’s unique needs.

My approach is person-centred, compassionate, and flexible. I create a safe, predictable, and supportive environment, helping learners feel secure, engaged, and motivated to learn. I use multi-sensory and interactive strategies, incorporating students’ interests and hobbies into lessons to make learning meaningful, enjoyable, and relevant. Whether through practical activities like cooking and sport, or core subjects such as Maths and English, I aim to build confidence, independence, and essential life skills.

I specialise in 1:1 tutoring, adapting lessons to learners working below age-related expectations, using pupil-led sessions, creative icebreakers, and engaging strategies to sustain focus and motivation. I also have experience supporting learners affected by trauma or dysregulated behaviour, using trust-building and communication-focused techniques to promote engagement and positive outcomes.

Through my work, I have seen learners develop social skills, teamwork, self-esteem, and academic progress, which I find incredibly rewarding. My ultimate goal is to help every student realise their potential, enjoy learning, and feel confident in their abilities.
