  • Worked with a student (Byron) in year 10 on Mathematics and English weakly throughout 2023 who had auditory processing disorder. His Mathematics results increased substantially from consistent D's to B's and his English results increased steadily to B's. I adapted a more tactile approach with Byron and utilised spaced repetition of concepts at the start of each session to access areas of focus to review. I also concentrated on teaching him how to plan out his assignments and exam study in small, specific steps to reduce overwhelm.

She was diagnosed with ADHD and executive dysfunction, (and later Dysgraphia). I adapted a significantly more structured approach creating scaffolds, writing examples and a coloured highlighting system, specifically unpacking the ISMG in extensive detail, and providing weekly feedback on her written paragraphs and assignments in extensive detail.
  • In 2022 I worked with a student (Liv) in year 8 on mathematics. The main focus points with her were understanding the content and learning study techniques.
  • In 2022 I also worked with a student in year 7 (Alkira) we worked together for around a semester and focused on all her subjects, specifically study techniques, assignment scheduling, and finding strategies for her to utilise in class to minimise her homework load.
