Why do I want to be a teacher? A question I’ve been asked since I applied, even before. The answer is the same as most; inspiration from a teacher I had in primary school. However, it was not for writing or music but for maths and science. My teacher, with her signature Sketchers Sandals, allowed us to explore science and maths in a way, until then, I had not had the ability to do. I loved it. Her passion and confidence for the subjects that were not typically ‘fun’ created an environment that allowed us to grow as pupils. I want to do this for the next cohort of children – show them that maths can be enjoyed and that science is fun. To give them a space where maths can be explored with the same level of curiosity as other subjects, without the automatic categorization of children being good or bad at maths.
