Summary
I am a motivated and enthusiastic individual with experience working with children through coaching and education placements. I have completed three placements in school settings, including one in a mixed year group class, where I supported teaching and learning and helped create a positive classroom environment. Alongside this, I have developed strong leadership, communication, and organisation skills through my roles coaching young children in sport. I am passionate about supporting children’s development, confidence, and enjoyment of learning.
