Summary
I am an enthusiastic and dedicated education professional with 3 years of experience supporting many primary school students. Throughout my career, I have cultivated a deep passion for nurturing students’ growth and development, not only academically but also socially and emotionally. As a committed team player, I have gained valuable experience in a range of classroom settings, working closely with teachers to implement tailored lesson plans, adapt resources, and provide one-on-one support to students with diverse needs. My experience includes supporting students with special educational needs (SEN), including those with autism, adhd and most recently Down syndrome. I am well-versed in creating an inclusive classroom environment that values diversity and promotes positive outcomes for all learners.
