Helen

I have been a teacher for 16 years and have taught pupils of all ages across the primary range. I am also a qualified and experienced Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo). I am particularly skilled with younger children and develop rapport quickly with them. I have a wealth of experience in phonics, maths and literacy and can teach any subject on the primary curriculum. I have planned and delivered specialised and targeted interventions to children with additional learning needs or to those who need to `close the gap`. I am also qualified to carry out cognitive assessments of children which help to identify underlying learning needs and can offer this at a reasonable price. I understand individual learning plans, EHCPs and annual reviews and am happy to offer my services to help parents and carers meet targets or to understand jargon!
