Here's a bit about me

I've worked in education for over twenty years and have successfully supported a wide range of students over that time.

Having completed a huge amount of formal studying in specific educational needs and behaviour, I know that it's actually the many students, families and schools I've worked with that has increased my experience and knowledge - enabling me to continue to successfully provide support to others.

Often, by the time I meet a student they have been struggling for a while and have very low self-esteem. I'm therefore passionate about enabling my students to learn about their individual strengths as well the strategies needed in order to support their own way of learning.

Being a mum to three amazing girls and having supported them through their own education I have first-hand experience of many of the challenges that parents face.

I'm neurodiverse (dyslexic) which I feel enables me to better connect with my students and empathise with their challenges.

I love - the awesomeness of the outdoors and nature and often bring this into my work with my students. I also love to study, having a laugh, my gorgeous dog and my lovely family.

Having high self-esteem and a positive internal narrative are key to our wellbeing. For children and young people it is also crucial for their learning.

I know personally some of the struggles pupils encounter, and how their learning, behaviour, confidence, and self-esteem can be affected.

Often, despite receiving support through school, many children require that bit extra - individual support for their individual needs. For some it is about filling some gaps in their literacy learning, for others it is ongoing academic, behavioural and emotional support.

Whatever the reason it is usually initially about mindset, dealing with their anxieties, and increasing self-esteem and confidence. I endeavour to create a positive attitude in my students whilst working with me.
