About

I am a qualified primary teacher with over 21 years’ experience teaching children across all primary year groups, from Nursery and Reception through to Year 6\. My particular strengths lie in English, phonics, reading, writing, and maths. Throughout my career, I have held leadership responsibilities, including Maths and Science Lead, Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead and Designated Teacher for Looked After Children\. I have extensive experience supporting children with SEND, autism, ADHD, anxiety, attention difficulties and low confidence. I pride myself on building positive relationships, making learning enjoyable and adapting my teaching to suit each child’s individual needs, abilities and learning style. I also have experience preparing pupils for Key Stage 2 SATs and some limited experience of the 11+. My approach is patient, encouraging and nurturing, helping children build confidence, develop essential skills and achieve their full potential at their own pace.

SEN/SEND support

Karen H. has experience supporting learners with special educational needs.

With over 21 years of primary teaching experience, I have supported children with a wide range of Special Educational Needs, including autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, attention difficulties and anxiety. I use a patient, inclusive and individualised approach, adapting lessons to each child’s needs, abilities and learning style. I break learning into manageable steps, using visual resources, interactive activities, repetition and positive reinforcement.
