@nadinewilliams
Experienced early years and SEN educator specialising in ESL, curriculum design and Functional Skills.
What I'm looking for
I am an education professional with over seven years' experience across early years, SEN, ESL and alternative provision, including international teaching in China. I design CEFR-aligned English curricula and prepare learners for IELTS and academic entry exams.
I've led kindergarten departments and managed curriculum development, mentoring staff and ensuring progression toward Key Stage readiness. I deliver Functional Skills English and Maths, tailored tuition, and structured learning programmes for diverse learners.
My approach is calm, adaptable and outcomes-focused: I maintain safeguarding and professional boundaries while collaborating with parents, schools and professionals to support reintegration and academic progress.
I bring strong organisational and management skills, experience in online and in-person delivery, learner assessment, and a track record of improving engagement and measurable learning outcomes.
