On work-life
“I am the Curriculum Team Leader for English and a teacher of classics and GCSE English. GCSE English is a hugely important qualification that can open doors. Learners can feel that they have failed and this leads to low levels of confidence and self-esteem. I try to instil the importance of perseverance, the need to commit to their own progress and a love of the English language.
