About
I am an experienced and dedicated educator with over 10 years of teaching, training, and learner support experience across Further Education, Adult Education, Apprenticeships, Functional Skills, GCSE Mathematics, ESOL, Employability, and SEN/SEMH provision. I hold a Diploma in Education and Training and have successfully delivered high-quality teaching to diverse learner groups in colleges, training providers, community settings, and custodial environments.
My strengths include teaching GCSE Mathematics, Functional Skills Maths and English, ESOL, employability skills, and vocational qualifications. I am passionate about helping learners achieve their full potential by creating inclusive, engaging, and supportive learning environments that build confidence, independence, and academic success.
Throughout my career, I have developed strong skills in lesson planning, learner assessment, progress monitoring, curriculum delivery, safeguarding, behaviour management, and learner support. I have extensive experience working with young people and adults from diverse backgrounds, including learners with additional learning needs, SEND, SEMH, and those requiring targeted interventions to overcome barriers to learning.
A notable achievement in my teaching career includes being observed and assessed by Ofsted and receiving a Grade 2 (Good) judgement. I have consistently supported learners in achieving positive outcomes, improving mathematical skills, progressing into employment or further education, and developing confidence in their abilities.
My recent roles have included Main Grade Lecturer in GCSE Mathematics, Functional Skills Maths and English Tutor, Multiply Tutor, ESOL Tutor, Employability Coordinator, and Outreach SEN/SEMH Tutor. These positions have enabled me to develop expertise in delivering both classroom-based and one-to-one learning, adapting teaching approaches to meet individual learner needs, and maintaining high standards of learner engagement and achievement.
In addition to my teaching qualifications, I have completed extensive professional development in Safeguarding, Prevent, Trauma Awareness, PACE, Positive Behaviour Support, First Aid, Equality and Diversity, Mental Health Awareness, Data Protection, and Health and Safety. These qualifications support my commitment to learner wellbeing, safeguarding, and creating safe and inclusive educational environments.
I am a committed, professional, and learner-focused educator who enjoys working collaboratively with colleagues, stakeholders, and support services to help learners achieve success and realise their ambitions.
