What our 2024/2025 trainees have to say about the ITT programme?

Jibran, a former Langley Academy student, previously worked as an accountant. He is now bringing his expertise in finance to the classroom, applying his skills to inspire and educate students as a maths teacher.

“Interaction with students is the thing I am enjoying the most…… The behaviour of students is outstanding and drives me every day to deliver lessons to the best of my ability.”

“I have learnt a plethora of academic knowledge, mainly on the pedagogy of teaching, but the most valuable thing I have learnt is that regardless of your background, teaching can be for anyone.

AY, inspired by his mother’s passion for education, chose to follow in her footsteps. After graduating, he embarked on his journey to become a teacher, driven by a desire to make a difference in young lives.

“Every great teacher starts as a student, and every challenge faced in my training is a stepping stone towards becoming the educator I aspire to be. Arbib and Ambition have allowed me to embrace the journey with patience and passion, they are the foundation of my continuous success, they are the shoulder I lean on day in and day out and I am forever grateful.”
