Thinking of changing career?
From working in banking to becoming a business and economics teacher….
“There were so many rules in banking and so little flexibility over my day to day tasks. Becoming a teacher gave me so much everyday freedom. I can choose how I teach each lesson, I can be as creative as I want, and I get to make a difference to young people.
Jo, business and economics teacher
The whole experience has been excellent. Everyone has been really helpful and I have been lucky to have a great mentor and wonderful class teachers working alongside me and offering their support. The students have made it all worthwhile – what an amazing start to a fantastic profession!
