Listen to this podcast and more.
I’ve officially finished my A Levels today and I just thought I’d send you an email just to say a massive thank you for all the opportunities YWTT has given me over the last 2/3 years.
Thank you for the masterclasses for the Yorkshire Wolds Teacher Training Experience, I have enjoyed every second of it. It’s been so eye-opening to see all the aspects of teaching and how each is implemented and planned. I am so excited to be able to implement all this knowledge that I have learned when I go into the teaching profession. I can’t wait to start university and become a teacher.
