Welcome

Hello, my name is Anna Onuchina.

I have completed the Educational Support Diploma Program at Sheridan College. This portfolio showcases my academic studies, field placements, and professional experience in educational and community settings.

Throughout my studies and placements, I have developed knowledge and practical skills in supporting students with diverse learning, behavioural, communication, sensory, and emotional needs.

This portfolio highlights my growth as an Educational Support professional and demonstrates my commitment to inclusive education, student well-being, and lifelong learning.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my portfolio. I hope it provides insight into my experience, skills, and passion for supporting student success.

Profile

My experience in Canada began with working in the field of supporting older adults with disabilities, where I developed strong skills in empathy and individualized support, building on my background in clinical psychology.

I later worked as a Native Language Instructor within the OCSB Continuing & Community Education (International & Indigenous Languages – Elementary Program), applying the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and creating structured, supportive, and inclusive learning environments for students with diverse language levels, including those with ADHD and ASD.
