Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The first day included a debate session, an ambassador panel, a teach first mission session, as well as time to plan a lesson and frequent breaks. The second one had a problem-solving workshop and also a teaching episode.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was interesting to understand Teach First's mission and the opportunities they have available. After hearing from ambassadors and Teach First employees, it made me even more eager to apply for their training programme.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy the virtual experience?
I enjoyed the experience so much. I was nervous about participating, but within 30 minutes I was completely relaxed and comfortable. It's an environment to grow and develop, you can express your opinions and nothing is wrong. Everyone was learning from one another. I would 100% definitely recommend.
