I have now worked in education for approximately 10 years, starting off voluntary, then as an LSA, then as a teacher which has undoubtably helped achieve a better understanding of the education framework as well as the importance of all people in a child's life. During that time I have worked with children and young adults from 6 weeks to 18 years of age from many different backgrounds. This has enabled me to see where children start off, where they might be currently and where they need to get.
Having 4 children of my own has also helped with this, especially from a SEND/SEMH side due to 3 out of 4 of my own children needing additional help. My second eldest, now 17, was diagnosed with ADD before Covid which had some impact on her education, however her mental health had also suffered. This is something that thankfully she is now on the better side of and after being homeschooled by myself during COVID and the help of her school afterwards meant that she passed all of her GCSE's. My son, now 13, is dyslexic but is learning ways to ensure that this is not a barrier to his learning from help by myself. My youngest daughter, who is 10, has ADHD and is now finding ways to become more independent on a daily basis. I too myself have dyslexia which was not picked up until my teacher training as I have always found ways to overcome the struggles, however this has now given me the gift of being able to see and know the struggles that child with learning disabilities face along with a sympathetic ear to help children in their education.
Throughout my time in education I have worked 1-2-1, in groups and as a class (sometimes bigger). I have worked with school refusers, last chance students, students with SEMH, SEND and children who have EAL. I have worked with children who have been impulsive as well as those who have been unable to express their needs and wants, generally starting with picture cards, visual timetables, colourful semantics and zones of regulation. The list includes but is not limited to;
Children with EHCP's
ADD
ADHD
ASD
Down Syndrome
Cerebral Palsy
Speech and Language difficulties
Global delay
Dyscalculia
Dyslexia
EAL
Dyspraxia
Mild/Moderate/Severe learning difficulties
Tourette's
Various SEMH needs
Various medical disabilities
Mute/non-verbal
I currently already support two children who have both made significant progress, one of which is non verbal, has ASD, under the age of 6 and been delivered via Zoom duE to distance. I moved up TO Lincolnshire in August from down South, and have been trying to find my feet as to which area of education I would like to work in after being a full time primary school teacher, which I loved, however children with additional needs has always been where my heart lies. I have a passion for working with children that need additional help in a mainstream setting where help is not routinely available. Whilst I have some experience of working in a special setting school, my view has always been that children in a special setting school have met a criteria to enable them to have the extra help, however, there are so many children that are missed or unable to have the help that is needed in mainstream school that will unfortunately, in many circumstances, end up without an education due to not 'fitting' a criteria. It is these children, along with those waiting for a placement in a special needs setting, or those children who 'refuse' to work that I feel my heart lies with and where I belong teaching.
I have always prided myself on gaining and maintaining fantastic professional relationships with both students and parents/carers/LSA's in every setting that I have worked in, knowing that the child's views and thoughts are paramount. I take great pride in knowing that all children that I have worked with whether as a class, group or individual have all made progress, no child has ever stopped flourishing whilst under my watchful eye. I always ensure that I build a good professional relationship with the child first which has undoubtably led to the great outcomes, attendance and behaviour of students that I pride myself with.
Sorry, currently unavailable to teach from my home address unless remote.

Welcome!
My name is Jayne and I have been teaching for over 30 years, mostly in higher education, but also at FE and secondary levels -I therefore have covered most if not all problems that students might face and helped them find their way out of the maze of the wonderful subject that is English - he's, help is at hand!
An initial assessment lesson will allow me to discuss your needs and concerns and formulate a plan that is best for you. I will be able to give you an idea of the number of sessions it should require to reach your desired goal . This could be anything from a single session for those just needing assistance with a one off project/essay to a course of tutorials for exams. I recommend no more than 1/2 sessions per week as many of you will have other study commitments and it's important not to stretch yourself. However- I will always give you a task or prep to do before the next session which will extend or complement your knowledge.
I encourage questions -so I am very happy for you to ask if something isn't clear or isn't working for you.
My preferred teaching method is online , including teaching files/marking. This is predominantly because I live in the back of beyond! Plus, most of my students like the convenience of attending from home .
If you have any queries, please do get in touch.

I am an enthusiastic and patient tutor, and have had previous experience tutoring 11+, as well as ancient languages. I have taught 11+ English, Maths, Verbal and Non-verbal reasoning for both the CSSE and CEM exam boards.
As someone who learned both Latin and Ancient Greek ab initio as part of my university degree and is now proficient in both, I feel I am able to confidently teach the skills that enabled me to learn these languages to students of any but the most advanced level. Due to COVID-19, all lessons will be taught online via Skype.
I am able to provide full-length lessons teaching material for the first time (11+, Latin and Ancient Greek only), as well as mark work, provide feedback on essays, and work through past exam papers (particularly relevant for 11+).
