“Teaching has always been my passion. I am a qualified teacher with experience in another country. I moved to England 3 years ago and started working in a pre-school to learn more about English education and culture. However, I missed teaching, so I decided to apply to primary schools. I encountered a barrier. I was getting answers to my applications that schools were looking for a person with teaching experience in this country. After a few attempts, talking to various agencies, I gave up and started looking for a job as TA. Then I got a call from one of the employees of this company, Bryony. And that was a turning point that gave me hope. Bryony is a wonderful person who listened and understood my situation. Action followed very quickly. A few days after her call, I was at school for an interview!
I could not have dreamed of a better school. I have already met the children and parents. I spent a wonderful two days at school to see the resources and meet the employees. I was very warmly welcomed. Everyone was so kind and helpful. I know that I will have a lot of support and teamwork which is very important to me.
Thank you 4myschools for choosing this school for me. I wanted a school where I would be able to get support due to the fact that this is my first year of teaching in England. I’ll do my best. I am already starting to do various teaching resources. I look forward to September!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
