About Me
Skills & Experience
I am experienced in breaking down EHCP targets into small, realistic steps that help children achieve meaningful progress. Teaching in a school setting has also allowed me to work with children and young adults with a wide range of needs, including those with dual diagnoses. My teaching expertise includes literacy, numeracy, phonics, science, functional skills, and independent skills such as toileting, eating, and fine motor development. This breadth of experience has equipped me to address various challenges and tailor my approach to meet each individual’s requirements. I am particularly skilled in supporting children who find the classroom environment difficult, creating bespoke strategies that enable them to engage and thrive.
I have experience teaching in a variety of environments, including the swimming pool, kitchen, and climbing wall, where I adapt lessons to suit the context and the child’s needs. By tuning into each child’s interests, I ensure that learning is engaging, meaningful, and personalised. This approach fosters positive relationships and encourages children to connect with the material in a way that resonates with them.
Collaboration is one of my key strengths. I have extensive experience in sharing strategies with other professionals and delivering high-quality CPD to parents, teachers, and senior leaders. By promoting consistent approaches and fostering teamwork, I help ensure the best outcomes for the children and young adults I support. My ability to guide and empower others builds confidence and creates a unified approach that achieves results.
As a Physical Development Lead Teacher, I’ve introduced sensory diets, movement breaks, and essential life skills such as scooting and bike riding—abilities parents value deeply as they allow their children to explore and connect with the world. More recently, I have taken on the role of Careers Lead, supporting sixth-form students in developing independence, participating in work experience, and engaging with their local community. These roles demonstrate my commitment to equipping children and young adults with the skills they need to thrive both in and beyond the classroom.

My Teaching Philosophy
I believe that all children should have access to education that inspires and empowers them to flourish. I enjoy teaching face-to-face, allowing me to interact, play, and build meaningful relationships with children and their families. When working with children with complex needs, I focus on understanding the whole child to provide the best possible support. I celebrate every tiny success and break down targets into realistic steps, working hand in hand with parents every step of the way. With experience in a wide range of interventions, I am used to employing multiple approaches to achieve positive outcomes. Teaching in a special needs school allows me to embrace creativity, designing unique strategies to achieve meaningful results for each learner.
