Learning Needs
I have experience of teaching learners with unique learning needs and disabilities, such as ASD. Please let me know about your child's needs and I will make adjustments, such as additional processing time and differentiated written work.
Supply List
Handouts will be provided for each class and on requests about topics that students are interested in. Handouts will be differentiated according to students' stated additional needs. Students will need a system of making notes during the class. They are welcome to watch the class recording after the class, pausing the recording when necessary, and making notes then if that is easier. A French/English paper or online dictionary can be helpful.
