I have been lucky enough to have been taught by some truly inspirational teachers and am well aware of the effect they have had on my life and the choices I have made subsequently. My own passion for working extends from my desire to emulate these role models and perform the same inspirational function in the lives of my students. By fostering good relationships with staff, pupils and parents it is possible to provide a holistic educational experience that compliments the child’s extra-curricular life as much as possible. Studying and working in education has shown me that it is a challenging and rewarding career, but I believe my track record of dedication and hard work in both elements suggests that I can meet its demands. As a teaching assistants support classroom teachers to provide information and additional resources for struggling students. Working as a teaching assistant has allowed me to finely hone my ability to lead one-on-one and small group remediation lessons, which I know will empower my instruction throughout my career as an educator.
