What I'm looking for

I am seeking a learner-focused role delivering apprenticeships, functional skills or SEND support where I can drive engagement, measurable outcomes, and continuous improvement.

I am a passionate, results-driven tutor and assessor with extensive experience across adult and child education, apprenticeships, and SEND. I combine practical classroom delivery with Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) responsibilities to maintain high standards of assessment and learner outcomes.

Over my career I have managed large caseloads, delivered functional skills programmes, and supported learners with additional learning needs by adapting plans and implementing reasonable adjustments. Notable achievements include a 78% pass rate on a functional skills caseload and supporting dozens of learners to distinctions and merits.

I bring strong skills in resource development, stakeholder relations, coaching and mentoring, and curriculum delivery, backed by qualifications such as a Certificate of HE in Psychology, Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training, and Level 5 TEFL. I aim to continue improving learner engagement and measurable achievement in education and training roles.
