About Me

Hello,

I'm Maaria, From Blackburn Lancashire.

Qualified highly experienced special needs tutor offering individually tailored support for students.

I have wide ranging experience of working with students (in both primary and secondary age groups) with CLDD (including those with PMLD, autism, ADHD, and physical disabilities) in residential care settings, SEND provisions, schools, and a Pupil Referral Unit.

I am a strong team-player and have very good relationships with staff, students, parents, and the wider community.

I plan imaginative and differentiated lessons (for instance interactive, sensory stories at a variety of levels) to meet the needs of individual students, supporting those with speech difficulties, and encouraging independence and communication at appropriate levels.

I have used Makaton and British Sign Language to meet the needs of young people with communication and other difficulties, used braille/visual cards, large print, flash cards, sensory art, stories, and games within the learning environment.

I endeavour to promote each pupil’s independence and employ strategies to recognise and reward achievement.

Through my experiences in different schools so far, I have developed resilience, reflection, and adaptability. These are skills I view as essential to nurturing the continuous development of a successful teacher.


Thank you
