Samuel Dickens

Instructor

I am Sam and I’m absolutely thrilled and excited to be part of the Tiffield Academy team on its new journey. I will be joining the Academy as an Instructor (Class Teacher) supporting across many of the primary classes.

Until now, I have 7 years experience in Special Education as well as some experience in SEND Support for the local authority. I am super passionate about SEND and love exploring exciting ways to teach those with diverse needs. My biggest motivation is having an empathetic approach to all I do.

3 facts about me:

  1. I love attending music events such as concerts.
  2. I like exploring different cities and places - my happiest place is a sunny beach abroad.
  3. I have a dog called Marley.

I am so excited for the Academy to open and to meet the students, their families and the rest of the Tiffield Academy team as we grow!

Sam
