Laila El Youssef

As a School Learning Support Officer, I provided dedicated assistance to students in grades 7 and 8, focusing on those with special needs, including autism and developmental delays. I worked both in group settings and one-on-one, ensuring that each student received personalized support tailored to their unique learning requirements. My role involved helping students who spoke Arabic as their first language, facilitating their understanding of English, math, and history. I collaborated with teachers to implement effective learning strategies and create an inclusive environment that promotes academic success and personal growth for all students.
