My lessons are engaging, practical and tailored to each learner. Before the first session, I send a short questionnaire to understand their goals, existing knowledge, interests, additional needs and preferred way of learning, whether visual, auditory, kinaesthetic or discussion-based.

I use accelerated learning techniques and adapt the pace, content and delivery to suit the individual. I have experience supporting learners with special educational needs (SEN) and work inclusively, focusing on each person’s strengths rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Sessions may include creative slides, discussion, music, practical activities, reflection and relatable real-life examples. Together, we identify the learner’s personal “why”, the purpose behind their learning and what they will gain from it.

My sessions are structured and designed around clear learning outcomes, while remaining flexible, relaxed and enjoyable. I do not rely solely on formal tests; learners can demonstrate their knowledge and understanding in ways that suit their individual strengths and unique learning style.
I have delivered programmes for the John Haynes Foundation across schools and colleges, working with learners aged 13 and above.

With experience in training, coaching, counselling, personal development, wellbeing and workplace safety, I bring warmth, energy and practical knowledge to every session. My aim is for learners to feel comfortable, valued and confident while successfully achieving the required learning outcomes.

My experience includes supporting SEN interns and delivering employability, First Aid, Mental Health First Aid, Health and Safety, and Fire Safety training in educational, community and workplace settings.
