Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Student taster day. It was a great opportunity to network with many aspiring teachers and talk to people within the profession and who work for TeachFirst to get to know more about the company and the work they do. There was also the chance to plan and teach a short teaching episode and get feedback from peers and professionals.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very interesting and educating. We were able to gain knowledge of TeachFirst that is not available on the website so it has helped greatly to develop my knowledge and understanding of them and the work they do.
