I have been working in Education for 21 years in Creative Arts (with a focus on English, Functional Skills, Media Productions and Theory) and Special Educational Needs.

In these years I have worked in a wide variety of settings. These include:
nurseries
primary and secondary schools,
colleges and universities both private and mainstream, the workplace,
with adults in community centres,
specialist child residential care units,
specialist schools and colleges for learners with a range of learning difficulties and needs.

In these settings, I have worked as:
an Apprenticeship Assessor
an Additional Learning Support Worker
a Nursery Nurse
a primary-school and a specialist college Special Educational Needs teaching assistant
a Social Emotional Mental Health Trauma-Informed primary school teaching assistant
an SEN Adult Art Coordinator
a college Lecturer and Course Leader in Media and Art
a Personal Tutor
a Functional Skills Tutor
a Key Skills Tutor
a university graphics and Art Critical Theory Lecturer.

This has given me a huge wealth of experience in working with learners from all walks of life and of all ages (my youngest student was 6 weeks old, and my oldest was 80!) which allowed my now-considerable teaching and tutoring practice to grow to the level it is today.
