Teacher
Who went from having a dream to living her dream?
Read how Helen Varga went from having a dream to living her dream with the help of Bradford College University Centre.
Helen Varga had a life long dream of being a teacher. She gained a first in BA (Hons) Primary Education with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) at the University Centre and now manages Science in an outstanding school.
Helen chose to study at the University Centre because “it had the best course on offer”. The course covered all of the subject areas in primary education plus child development studies and optional modules that allowed Helen to follow her personal interests.
The University Centre has a worldwide reputation for developing first class teachers. Tutors lead by example, instilling best practice, creativity and individuality in all of their students. This support helped Helen balance academic study and her personal life. Teaching placements are an important part of teacher training.
Helen enjoyed three teaching placements that gave her the experience of working with children from diverse social, cultural and linguistic backgrounds. As a newly qualified teacher, Helen’s job is, “Intellectually stimulating and extremely satisfying.” Her advice to you is, “Take the time to get to know your tutors and school placement officers. They are there to help you achieve your goals and get the best from your time in on the course.”
