Teaching has always been a career I have been interested in. I remember looking at my Primary 4 teacher at the front of the room teaching a history lesson on the World Wars; I just sat there watching, wanting to be her. For many years I never really gave my profession much thought but when UCAS came along I have to say I wasn’t sure. I took the plunge and went for teaching, knowing id always had teaching in mind, and since then I haven’t really looked back. Now, here I am, in first year at the University of Dundee embarking on this 4 year journey to become a primary teacher. I am excited to see what is to come and all that I’ll learn about teaching and how I can develop my own skills and qualities to help me become the best teacher I can be.

I’ve always loved children and have had a lot of the experience in both a formal and informal setting. A lot of the experience I have gained working with children has been so rewarding; Their innocent and immature nature is just so refreshing. I’m really looking forward to one day having my own class and helping them to develop both educationally and as people!
