This course is about training students to teach maths in the UK. Being a teacher is my dream and I like maths very much, so this course is a wonderful platform for me to fulfil my dream. After knowing the history, location and teaching quality of St Mary's, I felt this university was the best fit for me. The work placements offer me a good opportunity to see different schools, through which I can find out the difference between the Chinese teaching style and the British ways of teaching.
I have already started to teach maths in the placement school now. It is very challenging because English is my second language but with the mentor’s help, I did pretty well. I’ve made friends from all over the world. Experiencing different cultures and listening to different stories are really interesting and broaden my horizon.
