Why I Joined The NCS
“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited.” ~ Plutarch. This is a favourite quote that has stood true for me throughout the last twelve years of my teaching career. It incorporates enthusiastic, reflective teaching and independent learning. Why did I choose The NCS? It’s simple: to work as part of an outstanding team and help ignite the minds of our future generation. I believe every young person has the capacity to learn the appropriate skills with the right teaching and nurture. The challenge for teachers of all subjects is to make the subject interesting and accessible to young minds, and one aspect of teaching that excites me is experimenting with different strategies to motivate and engage students. I have a thirst for teaching and helping my students achieve. As Henry Brooks Adams said, “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops”, and I am looking forward to being part of that ripple effect in our community at The NCS.

Many students discover their true passions whilst at sixth form, and choosing the right post-16 provider can be a difficult choice, as it is a stepping stone to your future. Every aspect of sixth form is a learning experience, from meeting people from diverse backgrounds, and participating in enrichment opportunities, to developing the skills to do well and compete with the world outside. We at The NCS will be here to support you in making your academic vision become reality. I am looking forward to meeting you all in September and getting the ball rolling!

Why I Joined The NCS
I wanted to teach in an environment where I could talk to students about my passion for mathematics. The NCS provides a supportive environment so that students are able to explore their academic interests within and beyond the curriculum.

University of Bristol BSc (Hons) Mathematics and Philosophy
Why I Joined The NCS
I believe in equality of opportunity. I also believe that education is the most significant influence in creating opportunities for young people. I continue to remain excited about working at The NCS and being part of a group of teachers who have extremely high expectations and aspirations for the young people of London. The NCS is a hotbed for innovative and outstanding teaching, and we use our state-of-the-art facilities to develop an outstanding environment for learning. My vision, which resonates with The NCS’s, is for students to become resilient and self-confident young adults who, after spending two years with us, will leave as curious, independent, and dedicated scholars.

Why I Joined The NCS
Growing up in the local area, I have learnt to be grateful for having teachers that pushed me beyond what I thought I would be able to achieve. I have always wanted to pursue a career that would be fulfilling, one that benefits the local community and one that emulates the teachers whom I look up to. Being presented with the opportunity to teach some of the brightest kids in the country, who had a similar upbringing, it was something I could not turn down.
