I discovered Adult Education a couple of years after arriving in the UK through a friend who taught French. I was hooked; I never looked back and committed my career to provide learning to everybody irrelevant of age, social background, faith. On occasions, I have made a big change in people’s lives and for me this has been the most rewarding aspect. Moreover, I just love teaching. This is a passion. I consider that as a tutor you should always evolve. I constantly apply this idea while preparing for this course, with the aim to provide the best learning environment possible.
