Why do I teach?

I am extremely passionate about supporting our learners in their progression and professional development; providing advice, guidance, and information to empower them to take control and responsibility for themselves, their learning and completion of their training. I attempt to create a professional partnership approach, to help our learners realise their full potential, and primarily this involves being a good role model. I treat everyone I meet with respect and value their opinions and I am open to other's thoughts, feelings, and ideas. I like to think that others can come to me for support and advice, and I really enjoy building a rapport with our learners, especially when meeting with them regularly.

Another core value of my teaching and academic advising is the ability to be inclusive and ensure that equitable environments are created and maintained. For example, I have previously worked in partnership with learners, ensuring that the content of sessions is inclusive and accessible to all.
