Who I Support
I work with a wide range of students, each with their own strengths, needs and reasons for seeking support.
Some students are happily settled in mainstream school and simply want some extra support with English, whether that's building their skills, improving their confidence or working towards a higher grade.
I've worked with students from a range of schools across the Nottingham area, including Nottingham High School.
I also have particular experience supporting students who may find a typical classroom environment more challenging, including those with SEND, school anxiety or who are accessing alternative provision.
Whatever a student's circumstances, I take the time to understand what they need and how they learn best, so that they can feel comfortable, supported and able to make progress.
I Have Particular Experience Supporting Students Who Are
- Home educated
- Accessing alternative provision
- Experiencing school anxiety or emotionally based school avoidance
- Struggling with confidence, motivation or engagement
- Neurodivergent or have additional learning needs
- Benefiting from a more personalised pace and approach
SEND-Informed Support
Many of the students I work with have SEND or additional learning needs. I continue to develop my practice through ongoing training and professional development, so that I can better understand and support the individual students I work with.
For me, it's about understanding the student in front of me rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Every student is different, and what works well for one student may not work as well for another.
Sessions can be adapted to suit the individual student, including:
- The pace of learning
- The structure of sessions
- The style of tasks
- How we communicate and explain things
- Building confidence and self-belief
- Creating routines and a sense of predictability
