I am currently a Physics teacher in Nigeria. I want to continue teaching Physics in a UK secondary school.

Thanks Camara for sharing your experience, I have gained more insight from you about Teach First, I have applied for this career recently and I hope we can be colleagues in the future.

Camara - thank you for your honest video. I am hopefully embarking on Teach First next summer as a History teacher and your video is both inspirational and helpful. I'm glad to hear you enjoy the scheme and I really feel your passion for teaching resonate with me. I especially like your breakdown of your day, and how you manage your personal life alongside your professional life. I wish you all the best my dude, and who knows, maybe we will meet in the Teach First journey!

Thank you so much for sharing this! Funnily enough, I studied Biomedical Science and I worked for the NHS for a bit, and have just started my journey in education!! This video really helped me feel better about my next steps and gain a little bit about what a school day would look like! Your commentary was great, I think you made a lot of valid points and gave some great advice, so thank you so much for sharing! 🤩

[@tyrieshadavis4305]

Same here, I just finished studying biomedical science too and I’m considering going into teaching as well!
