Specialist SEND Tutoring

I have extensive experience working with young people with SEND, including those with Autism (ASC), ADHD, ADD, PDA profiles, SEMH needs, working memory and attention difficulties, and speech and language challenges. My focus is always on developing trusting and meaningful relationships that create a safe, supportive learning environment. By tailoring my approach to each individual, I help students feel valued, understood, and confident in their abilities.

Mindfulness-Based Approaches for Focus and Wellbeing

Where appropriate, I draw on my training in Mindfulness-Based Approaches to help students manage stress, build focus, and develop resilience. This can be particularly effective for students experiencing anxiety, emotional dysregulation, ADHD, or academic pressure. Techniques such as grounding, breathing exercises, and reflective practice are introduced flexibly, always at the student’s pace, to promote wellbeing and self-regulation.

Supporting Students with Working Memory and Attention Difficulties

For students with challenges around working memory, executive functioning, or attention, I use structured, evidence-based techniques such as breaking tasks into manageable steps, using visual organisers, and embedding active recall strategies. These methods support information retention and application while reducing overwhelm.

Teaching and Tutoring Across the Key Stages, Including A-Level

I have taught Art & Design and Design & Technology up to A-Level and have tutored a wide range of subjects across the key stages, including Maths, Biology, Psychology, Sociology, and English. My experience spans both academic skills and study skills coaching, from helping KS2 students build strong foundations to supporting A-Level students with exam preparation. I adapt sessions to balance academic progress with confidence-building and motivation.

Building Confidence and Self-Esteem

My sessions are designed to empower students by celebrating achievements and promoting a growth mindset. Through patient guidance and carefully structured challenges, I help young people rebuild self-belief and resilience, particularly those who may have experienced setbacks in their education.

Inspiring a Love of Learning

I design creative, interactive sessions that are tailored to students’ interests, making learning enjoyable and accessible. By connecting subjects to real-world contexts and personal strengths, I aim to reignite curiosity and intrinsic motivation, especially for those who may have disengaged from school.

Promoting Independence

A core part of my teaching is equipping young people with the skills to become independent learners. This includes supporting organisation, time management, problem-solving, and self-reflection. My goal is to help each student feel a sense of control and autonomy in their education, preparing them for success both in school and beyond.
