You want the best for your child. You want to know they have been able to reach their fullest potential. My motto ‘no child left behind’ resonates with all families who have faced delays or denials to services. I taught for over 17 years and was a Head of Year to over 360 children, but I left my mainstream position to forge a better pathway when my son was 12 weeks old: I’ve not looked back since. During the pandemic I witnessed many children suffering with speech regression, especially my autistic families. I decided to undertake training in Speech and Language Therapy and Occupational Therapy for which I obtained a ‘High Distinction’ and in 2021 I successfully completed a MSc in Psychology (specialising in SEN) which informs my work. I am also registered with the BPS (British Psychological Society). Recently, ‘The Learn to Shine school’ appeared on the BBC after winning the ‘Making a Difference’ BBC award. I have extensive experience of working with and supporting children with Autism, PDA, foetal alcohol syndrome, Selective Mutism, ADHD, Dyslexia, complex emotional and behavioural difficulties, with significant results. It is essential to me that your child is nurtured as an individual, and given the correct tools for the rest of their life. I support numerous companies as an SEN consultant and currently advise Talent management The YMU group on neurodiversity. I am often interviewed for magazines and radio stations on SEN matters and want to dispel the myths out there! I created ‘Learn to Shine school CIC’ around the birth of my own little boy and girl. I know how hard parenting can be, and the challenges families face in the world of education, My passion is to enable every child, including my own, to be able to ‘Shine’.

Hello – I’m Jonathan Pollinger, a freelance social media and AI trainer and I’m here to help you make the most of social media and AI. Social media and AI can make a huge difference to your business or organisation as they can help achieve your business or organisation's objectives. MY BACKGROUND I’ve been working as a social media trainer providing straightforward, practical training for small businesses and charities since 2009…before social media for business was a thing! Before that I’d always been interested in bringing people together using technology, just as social media does today. Since 2022 I've also provided AI training on tools like ChatGPT [https://chatgpt.com] and Microsoft Copilot [https://m365.cloud.microsoft/chat]. I’ve over 110 testimonials on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanpollinger/] that demonstrate the quality of my training. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked with small businesses, PR and social media agencies, charities, an MP, local government, business owners, other freelancers and more recently social media influencers. As well as training I provide social media services to B2B businesses via Boost Social Agency [https://boostsocial.agency/].  JONATHAN POLLINGER – SOCIAL MEDIA TRAINER’S TESTIMONIALS “Jonathan combines precise technical expertise with a tolerant and humane approach towards those of us who have been a little slow on the uptake with new media.” Martin Horwood [https://blog.martinhorwood.net/wp/], Former MP for Cheltenham. “I’ve been blown away by the number of business enquiries I’ve received from Twitter since my training with Jonathan. Brilliant!” Sarah Townsend [https://www.sarahtownsendeditorial.co.uk/], Sarah Townsend Editorial Limited “The training was fantastic – very much targeted towards our team and what we do, so we didn’t waste time with things that we already knew.” Jo Evans [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jo-evans-2427a536/], Degreeplus Manager, University of Gloucestershire If I’m not providing training, I’ll probably be out running around Cardiff Bay. I love running the roads and taking part in races as it helps keep me fit and gives me energy. There can’t be many sports where you can continue to improve at my age! A bridge is known locally as ‘Pollinger Bridge’ as I run over it so often. In 2012 I co-founded Laptop Friday, a co-working and networking event, which takes place regularly in Gloucestershire and Devon.
