recommend
creating your own materials.

3rd Year English with TEFL Student
This opportunity taught the fundamentals of being a teacher and enlightened me to become the figure that influences students in a bigger classroom, the world. We were given new perspectives of the classroom through delivering a 10-minute class based on my interests. This activity was particularly helpful for me to adapt to my short lesson and my current placement at a SEN school in Coventry. I want to express my deepest appreciation to Your Students’ Union and Connor for their support.
