I am a qualified Special Education & Music teacher from Dublin, Ireland. I also have a background in social care, working in residential with at-risk young people between the ages of 8 and 18 years. For eight years I have worked in a secondary (middle/high) school, teaching music two children between 8 and 18 years old both on an individual and group basis, particularly focusing on music theory and composition. I have also worked as a special education teacher with children of the same age group, again both on an individual and group basis. Particularly in the last two years of my tenure, I undertook a central role in the Special Education department, developing individual pupil profiles for pupils presenting with special educational needs. I was actively involved in the cultivation of both areas of literacy and numeracy, as well as promoting positive behavior, independent life skills and hygiene. I Read more meticulously read all available psychological and medical reports, communicated with all relevant classroom teachers, and liaised closely with senior members of the Special Educational Needs team prior to profiling which informed subsequent planning. I also acted as home tutor to students who were unable to attend school for differing reasons such as refusal to attend due to anxiety, expulsion and serious health difficulties (I. B. S). Through this, I have tutored students in several subject areas such as history, geography, religious education, social, political and health education, English and rudimentary math. I am currently working
