Andy:
“I was a corporal in the British Army serving with the Logistic Corp and would oversee around 25 Lance Corporals and Private Soldiers.
There would be occasions where I would teach lessons which could be either weapon handling skills, First Aid or Physical Education. I found great satisfaction in doing this, especially when individuals who found certain areas a struggle then improved.
Teaching Personnel were extremely helpful and always there to answer questions. I attended a 2-day course called Team-Teach which involved appropriate handling skills and different ways to approach situations and help to defuse them. I found this course really useful.
I’ve had experience with learning difficulties from helping a family member but being at the school really opened my eyes. I found it really satisfying and rewarding to be working at the school and I was fortunate to be able to work with different ages and abilities.”
