MA MASTERS IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION, UCL
 

I completed my PGCE in 2018 and have found much joy in being a secondary school maths teacher, despite the many gasps and sheer horror I see on people’s faces when I first reveal my career choice.

Being a teacher is a humbling and rewarding experience. More so, you are not only a teacher, but you are a cheerleader, counsellor, role model, hero, motivational source and many other things. Being such an influential person in a student’s life can be profound and is an Amanah. Hence why I want to become the best teacher I can possibly be whilst representing and impacting the Muslim community.

Undertaking this postgraduate degree will equip me with the skill set to really maximise my students’ engagement, progress and improve attitudes towards maths in school.
