English / ESOL

Background & Experience: 

My journey in education began in 2010 when I actively volunteered as a Teaching Assistant in a primary school. This experience enriched my teaching practice and broadened my perspective on education.

In 2011, I became a learner myself, and it was during this time that I discovered my passion for adult learning teaching, successfully achieving my Level 2 FS English qualification.

In 2014, I began working as a Teaching Assistant, where I gained invaluable practical experience by working closely with learners to help them overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

In 2017, I was excited to step into the role of a teacher, bringing with me the skills, knowledge, and passion that I had developed over the years.

Gaining the BTEC Level 3 Award in Education and Training in 2017, enabled me to further enhance my skills and refine my professional abilities.
