Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We had a lot of online talks, explaining to us what Teach First was, what their values are and how to apply to this company. A large focus was on self-evaluation, and self values. We focused on teamwork (group activities) as well as individual tasks (prepping and giving a lesson). We also had a lot of networking.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Really interesting, definitely wanted to potentially work for the company one day!

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I learnt how to self-evaluate. We had to preform a lesson, and at the end we evaluated how well we thought the lesson was. As we also had feedback from the invigilators, it was very insightful to look back in hindsight. I learnt to evaluate what I thought went well, instead of simply criticising.
