Francesca's story   

Francesca, English teacher
"I had such an enjoyable experience throughout my school life that I wanted to be able to actively play a part in allowing students to get the same joy out of learning. Plus, teenagers are absolutely hilarious and I am definitely learning a lot from them too! I can’t quite explain just how special it is to know that even in the smallest of ways, you are changing lives for the better."

You can search for postgraduate teacher training courses, filtering by location, training provider and subject, using the Department for Education's search tool.
