Teacher, SENCO and Advanced Drawing and Talking Practitioner
Meet your tutor
I am Judith Taylor, an experienced primary school teacher and specialist tutor with over 25 years teaching experience. Having worked for 16 years as a SENCO and EAL Lead, and 10 years as an Assistant Headteacher, Designated Safeguarding Lead and Senior Mental Health Lead, I have extensive experience supporting children with a wide range of individual needs. I am also a registered Advanced Drawing and Talking Practitioner.
I'm passionate about providing nurturing, personalised support that builds confidence and helps every child, particularly those with SEND, thrive and I hold a full Enhanced DBS certificate and am registered on the update service.
I provide personalised tutoring sessions covering Phonics, Reading, Writing, Maths, Times Tables, KS1 and KS2 SATs preparation, language and vocabulary development and Home Schooling Sessions. My aim is both to fill gaps in learning, but also to develop confidence, independence and the ability to apply skills successfully.
As a registered Drawing and Talking Advanced Practitioner I offer 12 week blocks of attachment-based therapeutic intervention to support emotional well-being, encourage children to express their emotions, and allow them to process emotional trauma.
I am happy to work collaboratively with schools and other professionals to create a comprehensive package of support. I offer guidance to parents who have concerns about their child's development, including advice around SEND and assistance with completing school-based paperwork.
I have extensive experience supporting children with a wide range of additional needs, including:
Every child learns differently – my role is to understand their needs and provide the right support to help them thrive.
