TA in CONTROL

Ever feel like you’re just moving pieces on someone else’s classroom chessboard? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay that way.

Welcome to TA IN CONTROL, the place where TAs, LSAs, 1:1s, CAs, HLTAs get practical answers and real strategies that actually work.

I was a TA/HLTA/1:1 TA for 20 years. I started with almost no qualifications, worked through NVQs, and earned a first-class degree while working full-time in schools. I even tried teacher training (6 weeks!)—and hated it. I’ve been in the trenches, faced uncertainty, and had days where confidence just vanished.

This channel is here to give you practical, easy-to-use strategies that you can apply today, without endless training sessions. From TA interviews, behaviour management & SEND support to classroom organisation, and building strong student relationships—you’ll find answers to the questions every TA wishes they had.
