About Me
Special Education Needs Teacher and Education Professional
I am a PhD student (Birmingham City University) and a dedicated and qualified special educational needs teaching assistant and PhD student (Birmingham City University) with over eight years of experience supporting children with complex needs in groups or one to one. I have a robust background in teaching a range of subjects at the Primary Level, delivering teaching with passion and empathy. Educated with a master's degree, I know current education issues in relation to terms of practice, process and curriculum. I am very interested in supporting children and young people with challenging behaviour. I possess exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, engaging and building trust with children, colleagues, and parents. I am very interested in continuing my studies involving researching intervention approaches such as dialogic reading and their implementation into the education system. I have applied various methods to my teaching, which I have learnt in my academic studies, such as Vygotsky's zone of proximal development and Brunner's theory of scaffolding, furthering my passion for one to one support.
I am now looking to use my skills and experience to progress my career with a forward-thinking and innovative organisation; please connect with me to discuss our industry and career opportunities.

I want to share how good our experience was with this tutor. In just six months, she helped my daughter go from a 'working towards' to 'exceeding expectations' grade. She was always calm and patient, which really helped my daughter learn better.
She was also very friendly and made the lessons fun, which made my daughter like learning more. As parents, we appreciated how respectful and communicative she was, keeping us in the loop about our daughter's progress.
Overall, this tutor is great at what she does. She's not just about grades; she makes kids feel confident and interested in learning. We're really thankful for her help and would recommend her to other parents.

Saima has worked with my 3 children for the last two years, very patient and knowledge and adapts her technique according to the needs of the child. Thank you from the Sharif family. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much for this review.
Saima is an amazing tutor. She has been tutoring my daughters and they both enjoy her lessons and are making good progress. She motivates them to learn. She is also very attentive to their individual needs and provides good feedback on their progress. They continue to make good progress in their maths. Thank you!

We have gained confidence in Ikram's education thanks to your teaching. Her behaviour towards my child is nice,calm and friendly bringing focused atmosphere whenever she teaches him. Our child has several learning disabilities has mild autism but Saima has overcame that when most tutors failed.
