Hi, I’m Umesha! I’m a Learning Support Specialist currently based in Berlin, having recently moved from Sri Lanka. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Cardiff Metropolitan University and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of West London. My career began in 2018 as a Special Needs Educator at an international school in Sri Lanka, where I discovered my passion for working with children.

‍

Over the years, I have gained specialized knowledge and skills necessary to support children with diverse needs, including Autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, and behavioral issues. My work focuses not only on academics but also on developing children's emotional, social, and practical skills. I primarily work with children aged 6 to 12 years, creating tailored strategies to help them overcome their challenges and thrive in their learning environments. I believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued and understood.

‍

My approach is rooted in empathy and patience, ensuring that each child’s unique strengths are recognized and nurtured.

I’m from Sri Lanka, and I speak English and Sinhalese.
