“She has also taught a teaching qualification to some of our tutors, as well as to staff from other partner organisations.

“Her knowledge, dedication, positivity and enthusiasm have been a valuable asset to me as the manager, and indeed to all my staff at the charity, as she is always willing to share her experience.”

Sarah leaves teaching to work on her PHD, which she is studying at De Montfort University in Leicester.
