A tutor who has extensive experience of working with learners with additional needs; often complex.
Someone with excellent communication skills who can read the room and respond in a positive way to provide effective intervention to manage classroom behaviour.
Someone who can build excellent relationships with partners, parents and carers, other tutors and professionals who work to support positive outcomes for learners with SEN needs.
