About Me

My name is Amber, and I have been an Early Years teacher for over 20 years. I am also a freelance Makaton Tutor based in the West Midlands. I am very proud mum of three wonderful sons who have all benefitted from using Makaton.

 

I have loved using Makaton to enhance young learners’ communication throughout my role as a teacher, but it was when I became a mum to our first

son that I was able to fully experience and appreciate the power of Makaton!

 

The impact Makaton had on his ability to communicate his needs, lessen his frustration and convey his feelings to us was incredible. He used signs before he was ready to use words, but Makaton gave him a voice. I knew Makaton could have a such a positive impact on families, settings and communities and I wanted to share this. That is why I became a Makaton Tutor.

I am passionate about how Makaton can be used to enrich lives. I’d love to help you get started on your Makaton journey. Please get in touch.
