Following on from my teacher training qualification, I joined Supply Desk as a newly qualified teacher. During this period I worked as a supply member of staff across a number of schools in Hampshire, often only being informed of the school and subject area to cover on the morning the assignment began. In this role I had to maintain a high level of flexibility and adaptability, often working in areas far removed from my own background in Mathematics. I also built a strong foundation for my consultancy and customer-facing skills, which I have since developed in my current role.

After graduating from my Mathematics course I completed a PGCE qualification. I covered a wide variety of studies based around meeting the Teachers’ Standards. This included areas such as classroom practice, professional conduct, and Maths specific teaching. This has enabled me to become a very strong presenter having worked with a variety of audiences with a number of different purposes and requirements. I refined my interpersonal skills and managed multiple projects successfully whilst completing the qualification at Masters level. During my two placements I worked in high pressure environments with a wide variety of individuals, making difficult and challenging decisions. For this course I was awarded the highest possible standard for my teaching practice.
