As we head into the midst of exam season I just want to say how proud I am of each and every student I teach.
In August we’ll get the GCSE results and the media will produce statistics and talk in numbers and targets.
However, targets and statistics don’t show the real student.
Each and everyone is more than just a number. I am proud of
•The students who are managing their anxiety and nerves
•The students who are balancing revision with playing sport
•The student who battle illness but still push through
•The students who have shown that sometimes there can be another way of learning that doesn’t involve school
•The students who are good at maths but pushing themselves that bit more to make sure they do their absolute best
•The students who have struggled with maths all their school life but finally can say “oooh I love these questions”
•The students who have never given up and have shown perseverance by retaking their exams
To each and every one of my amazing tutees, I wish you all the very best for this week and send lots of positive vibes.
