Maliha Khalid

I am a dedicated and compassionate SEN Tutor and Teaching Assistant with extensive experience supporting children and young people with diverse learning needs, particularly autism and additional educational challenges. I specialise in creating tailored learning strategies that adapt to individual strengths and needs, ensuring lessons are engaging, accessible, and effective. My approach combines patience, creativity, and resilience, enabling me to foster confidence, independence, and curiosity in every learner I support.

I am confident working with both verbal and non-verbal students, and skilled in managing behaviors that challenge while maintaining a positive, nurturing learning environment. I thrive equally when working independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating closely with parents, careers, and educational professionals to ensure consistency and progress. Above all, I am deeply passionate about making education inclusive and empowering every student to achieve their full potential.
