Studying Childhood and Youth Studies Degree While Working as a Teaching Assistant in SEND School

I first met Esther shortly after I began my first year as a SEND teacher. I only qualified a year before that. I had a long journey to teaching, beginning as a teaching assistant and studying with Open University. Esther asked me questions; she has a very enquiring mind and is always keen to develop her skills. She asked me how to become a teacher, and I recommended Open University. Esther signed up quickly and has been diligent in her studies. Recently, Esther was transferred to my class, and I have had the joy of working with her. She observes and learns from her students what they need. She is calm and confident and able to manage her own workload. She shares ideas and is very supportive. Her approach keeps her students engaged and involved in their learning. She plans resources and is now actively sharing ideas to support our whole class teaching. She is a great asset in my classroom.

I worked alongside Esther at TAS and was consistently impressed by her patience, professionalism, and genuine care for students. She has a special ability to support SEND learners with understanding and encouragement while maintaining clear structure in her teaching. Esther builds trust quickly with students and parents, and I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive tutor.

Esther is kind and genuinely passionate about special needs children.
She is patient and can organize herself to ensure the child is achieving.
I highly recommend her.
