I specialise in working with children with autism, anxiety, complex needs, ADHD, cerebral palsy, PDA, learning difficulties and children with emotional/ behavioural challenges. I have extensive knowledge of using calming strategies to support children with anxiety issues, for example music therapy, sensory toys, flickers, sensory rooms etc. Whereas I currently work as a specialist SEN tutor, I previously worked as a member of a school Inclusion Team. I led occupational therapy sessions and speech language lessons using various resources including PECS, makaton, visual support strategies, TEACCH, and IT.

I was responsible for planning and organising specialist 1:1 and group ‘catch-up’ lessons. I support children to develop receptive and expressive language using a variety of strategies including matching puzzles and games. I have extensive experience working with children to develop their social/general skills and ability to focus and concentrate. Helping to develop their confidence within English/comprehension and Maths (from number bonds to word problems).

I have experience working with students with PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) within mainstream school (inclusion) and privately. The main target was to develop trust between student and me (and if possible another adults/closest peers), to help them understand how to regulate their emotions and concentration using various tools -learning breaks, physical activities etc.

I have worked with students with dyslexia which led to anxiety issues and in some cases, very challenging behaviour. We used positive approaches with lots of positive praise and tailored their tasks towards their specific needs. This included using various visuals or writing the answers for them in order to build confidence and interest in the various tasks. As the confidence grew, we then started to model various real life situations and how to potentially deal with them. During all tasks we made sure there were lots of breaks so as to not overwhelm the student with too much information. I have also worked within school settings with students who had various levels of cerebral palsy and communication difficulties. I helped them to access curriculum using special personalised communication toolkits.

My Teaching Philosophy

My motto is - strict but positive-
I always try to encourage confidence with positive approach. I praise a lot, especially when children have challenges with their self-esteem/ confidence. I try to ensure that children are engaged by asking questions. I develop sessions depending on the student's individual learning style and specialise in providing visual or play-based support. I allow for a lot of 'movement breaks to keep focus and concentration, and recognise that very student is different and requires a differentiated approach.

Something Sensational About Me

I love to include music in my teaching sessions! I have played the piano for 8 years and teach students to use the drums, xylophone and simple clap-tap rhythms as a calming strategy and to help them maintain focus.
I also love to do outdoors activities and sports. I am a big football fan and am an Arsenal season ticket holder. One of my favourite activities is going for long walks with my dog.

      Vojtech is very warm, kind and caring person who approaches his role with sensitivity and understanding. Vojtech has built both a positive and professional relationship with staff members and the students he works with. Vojtech works closely with a number of students within in my house, supporting students with their academic progress, behaviour as well as their emotional and mental well-being. I have overseen and monitored the work Vojtech has undertaken and I have been hugely impressed with his professionalism, knowledge and commitment to working with some of our more challenging students. Vojtech takes the time to listen and shows sensitivity, it is evident that the work has been successful and has had the positive impact expected. For the past 2 years, I have worked alongside Vojtech at The UCL Academy, during this time I have been impressed with his passion, dedication and commitment to both his work and the students he supports. The role of a Learning Support Assistant can be a very demanding role, Vojtech works with a number of students who have difficulties in accessing the curriculum and at times have complex SEN needs.

      Sam Morrow

      I have worked with Vojtech for several years and have relied on his support with some of our most challenging students. He works 1:1 with our most complex young people, and liaises closely with teachers and parents in order to offer the highest level of support to the young people and their families. He has achieved fantastic results especially with our ASD and SEMH students who look to him for support and rely on his skills to achieve progress every day.

      Cindy O'Sullivan

      I worked with Vojtech in my previous role as Deputy Head in a special (SEN) school. At that time Vojtech worked as a 1:1 support worker for a pupil with ASD (autism) within the mainstream school on site. They had an excellent relationship, and the pupil engaged well in the mainstream environment. Vojtech worked closely with the parents and the school for the benefit of his pupil, and tutored him successfully through KS2 SATs. Vojtech set up great links with our school and offered us a lot of advice on our pupils with ASD. He sourced training for us and we subsequently employed him directly. The strength of his connection with children with ASD, MLD and SEMH was an absolute strength. Vojtech is self-motivated and professional and I would definitely employ him work with children and young people with complex needs.

      Haidée

      Vojtech has been tutoring / supporting both my children (ages 7 and 10) with autism and complex SEN needs for a year. He has brought much joy to his sessions and works in a very flexible way. Vojtech has an abundance of energy and has been brilliant in supporting my sons individual sensory needs such as creating sensory circuits and sensory diets in order to help them with their sensory processing disorder as well as emotional regulation. He works best in a very kinetic way helping to guide them through movement play based learning activities and works really hard to help find solutions in order to support their every growing developmental needs. Vojtech even brought his wonderful dog to a session for an animal assisted therapy session. We are are delighted to have Vojtech as part of my sons team of support.
