Hear from our alumni
Over the last 25 years NETT has trained successful teachers from a wide variety of backgrounds with a wide variety of qualifications and experience. Some of their stories are here for you to read.
Max Morris
Before starting the NETT PGCE History course I had taught in China for 7 years. After deciding to come back to the UK, I had the most amazing training year where I received help and support throughout from Jane, Angie, Sarah and the rest of the team in adapting to teaching in this country. The assistance and guidance they gave me through the year afforded me the best start to my career in England.
I am now a month into my post as a History teacher at Tendring Technology College. It really has been fantastic to have my own classes and to have the responsibility for their progress. Although it can seem daunting at times to be responsible for the outcomes of more than 300 students, for me, it acts as a great motivator. It is a cliche to say, but it is true nonetheless, there is nothing better than having the opportunity, everyday, to make a positive impact in the lives of each and every student.
Teaching is a great career to go into and having a meaningful job where every lesson you teach counts is a great feeling.

“My first weeks as a NQT in Reception have been fantastic. Starting reception is such a big step for children, so knowing that I am helping to lay the foundations for the rest of their school life is so rewarding. The feeling of having my own class after working so hard throughout my training is very special!”
Charlotte Harvey
Charlotte received the NETT award for Academic Excellence and is now a teaching English at secondary level.
“Before studying Shakespeare, many children have negative preconceptions and believe that the language is going to be a huge barrier to their learning. However, by modelling, translating and slowly unpicking the language together, I have found that everything has suddenly started to ‘click’. It has now begun to make sense, and as a teacher there is nothing more rewarding than to see the sparks of understanding on children’s faces.”
