Starting my second year at University like any student, a solid goal of mine was to get a part-time job related to my degree that I can grow in. After applying to a few jobs and receiving disappointing rejections from different companies, I started working as an English tutor at No1tutors.
At first, I was overwhelmingly nervous about teaching. I was unsure of to expect and did not believe I had the proper training to support students. However, I had the opportunity to shadow Femi Adams who had an extraordinary ability to teach and who helped me develop foundational teaching skills I will undoubtedly use in my future. It was one of the most valuable aspects of working with No1tutors- being able to observe a phenomenal teacher in action. Not only did I learn from simply observing Femi teach, but also from being able to discuss any questions or concerns I had about teaching and learning which made me realise the value of having a teacher-mentor to shadow.
