About
My name is Lamiah, and I am a fully qualified and experienced teacher with a strong background in primary education, early years, and special educational needs (SEN). I am now seeking to transition into the role of Governess, where I can bring my passion for child development, education, and individualised learning into a more tailored, home-based setting.
Over the past 9 I have worked across a range of educational environments, including mainstream primary schools, early years settings, and specialised SEN classrooms. I have a deep understanding of children’s developmental needs—both academic and emotional—and pride myself on creating nurturing, engaging learning experiences that help each child reach their full potential.
Professional Experience:

• • Utilize the outdoor classroom to extend learning, encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and connection with nature.

Why I’m Transitioning to a Governess Role:
I am drawn to the Governess role because it allows for deeper, more individualised teaching, and the opportunity to support a child’s academic and personal development in a holistic way. My background in both mainstream and specialist education makes me adaptable, empathetic, and highly responsive to different learning styles and personalities.
