Our client is seeking a Russian speaking SEN teacher to work with their 13 year old son(I) with Speech and language delays, difficulties in social communication, sensory processing issues, as well as negative experiences at school which have hurt his self confidence.
There are a few options currently being explored for the boy. One is full time home schooling with the exception of attending a few classes in his mainstream school such as music, PE, and other easily accessible classes for him.
This would happen in his home town which is a busy international town home to a large university so many options to meet students both English and Russian speaking.
Another option is for I to attend an international school in Kiev and have the teacher go to school with him adapting lessons as needed.
We are talking to different international schools to try and secure a place for him. If this is not possible the homeschooling route will be how he will be taught.
He recently was assessed by an educational psychologist in London who reports that he will benefit from visual supports and time tables, as well as a routine based school day.
The role includes some travel with the family to their country home, as well as other locations in Europe and further afield. All travel and visas covered, flat included.

• Have experience working with adolescents with special needs, especially speech and language disorders.
