Summary

I am a compassionate and dedicated learning assistant with a strong commitment to supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). My goal is to create an inclusive, nurturing environment that fosters each child’s unique strengths and helps them overcome challenges. I believe in the importance of personalized, patient guidance and I’m passionate about building trust and encouraging a love for learning. With experience in both one-on-one and group settings, I am adaptable, resourceful, and skilled at tailoring my approach to meet the specific needs of each child, ensuring they feel valued, empowered, and supported in their educational journey.

As a dedicated Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Teaching Assistant, my role is to provide individualised support to students who face learning challenges. I work closely with teachers to adapt lesson materials, ensuring they are accessible and engaging for students of varying abilities. My primary focus is on building each child’s confidence, helping them to achieve their potential by providing targeted assistance, and creating a positive, inclusive learning environment. With patience, empathy, and a deep commitment to every child’s success, I strive to make a meaningful difference in their educational journey and personal development.
