Nationality: Irish
I was recommended by a PGCE course leader in UAE
to join Empowering Learning. She assured me it would
be the best way for me to get my QTS. I had been
teaching in the UAE for four years.
Empowering Learning arranged a paid placement (2
days at a Redbridge Primary School) for me during
the summer term where I could learn about working in
a British school. They have since arranged
interviews for me, from which I got a full time job.
Every step of the way in moving from Dubai to
London, Empowering Learning has been there, making
sure everything is clear for me, making sure I felt
comfortable with the change, always ready to offer
their support and guidance.
I am now attending a series of Professional
Development sessions offered by Empowering Learning
which are invaluable in teaching me about various
elements of the British education system. Empowering
Learning has also given me the chance to meet other
trainee teachers who are working in the same area as
I am. Empowering Learning stays in contact with my
school, making sure everything is going well. I have
already had one lesson observation from Sue Lee
Empowering Learning QTS consultant. Her feedback was
very structured and specific.
Empowering Learning’s strength is their humanity,
their friendliness, support, warmth and guidance.
Every trainee who works with them knows that they
are always at the other end of the phone and that
every question or issue, no matter how big or small,
will be dealt with promptly and efficiently. They
are an invaluable way to achieve QTS and I couldn’t
recommend them highly enough.
