Lavinia Singarajah
ABA Tutor. BSc Psychology.
I have over three years' experience as an ABA tutor, which started while I was studying Psychology at De Montfort University. I came across a job advertisement when I was looking for work experience, and soon realised I could help change the future of the children I worked with.
I worked part-time at first, and after graduating in 2024 I combined a teaching assistant role with ABA tutoring. In 2025 I moved to ABA tutoring full time, and I am now preparing to start my ABA masters and train as a supervisor.
I take a child-centred approach and build sessions around what each child enjoys. When I follow their interests they are more engaged, and that is where the positive interactions that support learning come from.

If your child has regular sessions, the tutor is the person they see most. Tutors deliver the teaching set out in the programme, record how each session went, and feed that back so targets can be adjusted.
Tutors work under the supervision of a Consultant Behaviour Analyst, who designs the targets and reviews progress. Every practitioner at Open Avenues is registered with the UK-SBA, DBS checked and insured, and receives regular supervision.
