Summary
I am a compassionate teacher who is able to manage behaviour and discipline in the classroom effectively due to the meaningful relationships I am able to build with pupils from a diverse range of backgrounds. I passionately advocate and promote play-based learning with a strong focus on stimulating creativity and imagination. I also have expertise in providing support for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), which I have refined in both the professional arena and in my personal life. Throughout my teaching career, I have been able to demonstrate patience and resilience, aiming to foster an inclusive educational environment that nurtures individual growth and development.
