Description of tutoring experience

I am currently a private facilitator for a 9-year-old boy. I assist him in class with his academic progress, sustained attention, and emotional regulation. Before my current employment, I worked for the star academy as a senior ABA instructor with children on the spectrum. My roles included leading a team of instructors on various cases and ensuring the programmes were implemented correctly, with the guidance of my supervisor. This included providing sensory stimulation, cognitive skill development, academics, and behaviour management. I also assisted with homework and assignments for the older children.

Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

My name is Shaune H, and I am 25 year old female. I am currently working privately as a facilitator with a sweet 9 year old boy, which I do from 8:00 to 13:00. I completed my BA in Psychology and Sociology in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape. I graduated in the top 15% and was awarded Golden Key. I believe I went into psychology because I had a need to help people, and after my nephew was born, I realized that my true passion was children and their development. It was during my child and adolescent development modules that really helped finalize what it was I wanted to do, and that was to aid in the development of children. Before my current employment, I worked for the Star Academy. It was a lovely chapter, which taught me more about children on the spectrum. I am confident in saying that I have gained the skills needed to aid in your child's growth. I look forward to hearing from you.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am dedicated, passionate and loyal, thriving in environments where initiative and creative thinking are encouraged. I have a passion for working with children and aiding in their overall development, especially concerning children on the spectrum. I aim to help find strategies that make independent learning achievable but still fun. I always strive to deliver excellent results and my working style is open, participatory, and encouraging.

Hobbies and other interests

During my spare time, I enjoy doing outdoor activities, playing a sport, helping in my community, and spending quality time with my family and friends.
