Currently, I am working as a student services advisor at my local college.
I chose my course because it is a requirement for the PGCE Maths entry at the University. I chose to do my course with ICS Learn as a friend recommended you and when I spoke to your advisor for advice I was greatly satisfied.
Initially, I did have some reservations as I was quite sceptical about online tutoring and tests. Even though I had attended online meetings via Zoom and Teams, I wondered how tests and exams would be conducted. Moreover, in previous studies I was used to doing group study work and sharing knowledge for better understanding. I wondered how I would be able to share my work with my peers.
But as soon as I logged onto my learning platform, all my reservations diminished because my tutor not only explained the lesson in detail but answered my queries. I was also able share my thoughts and work with colleagues and ask/assist where required. My confidence improved in each lesson I attended.
During the lockdown period, because I was working from home, my working times greatly differed from the normal period and extended to late evening and so I practiced my learning quite late in the night. I remember whenever I sent a question to my personal tutor, she kindly gave a swift response and where she would be delayed she kindly informed me.
She would always encourage me to do well in my efforts as sometimes even when I sometimes sent a late submission as occasionally my home, work and studies for a separate course at times prevented me to stick to the set timetable that we had agreed upon.
I intend to do a PGCE in Maths. Now that I have achieved the grade required, I will be applying to providers to continue a route into teacher training.
