What do you love about your job?

I love that I get to engage with people daily and that I often learn more from the students I teach than I realise! I work with Jane Goodall’s quote at the forefront of my teaching “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

What do you enjoy most about being a tutor? 

Seeing a student “get it”. Sometimes it's instant, but the ones that take a while and then finally they get it, that smile is everything. Learner-centred and fun. Trying to make difficult concepts easy to learn with different modalities, videos, games, group, and outside work. I had always wanted to be a teacher right from an early age; I didn’t realise early on what group, so starting in secondary school and realising that wasn’t for me was disheartening; then I tried an older cohort, and I felt the connection. I love teaching adults.
