I provide personalised tutoring and 1:1 mentoring to support learners in building confidence, engagement and a more positive relationship with learning. My approach is calm, relational and responsive, with a focus on reducing anxiety and supporting individual needs. I have particular experience supporting learners with SEND and SEMH needs, including those who may find traditional classroom environments challenging.  

I work alongside families to offer practical guidance and emotional support around learning, behaviour and development. This includes helping parents and carers better understand their child’s needs, navigate challenges and build consistent, supportive approaches at home and school. My work is grounded in real experience supporting SEND learners, looked-after and previously looked-after children, and families managing complex needs. My approach is compassionate and non-judgemental.

I have a strong understanding of the realities of working in education, drawing on my experience in school settings to recognise the demands, pressures and complexities of the profession. I offer coaching, mentoring and professional guidance to education staff, including support with teaching and learning, curriculum development, inclusion, behaviour, SEMH support, trauma-informed approaches and reflective practice aligned with the Teachers’ Standards. I also work with early career teachers (ECTs) and middle leaders to build confidence, resilience and effectiveness in their roles.
