About Me
Hi, I’m an experienced SEND Teacher with over eight years working across specialist and mainstream settings. I’ve taught pupils with autism, speech and language needs, and complex learning difficulties—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
My teaching is calm, structured, and rooted in positive relationships. I believe progress comes from trust, not pressure, and I love finding creative ways to help each pupil communicate, connect, and grow.
