My favourite part of my job is helping people achieve their GCSE English, a key qualification which will open doors for them in the future.
Deb Williams started teaching at Lancaster and Morecambe College in August 2000. She came to LMC to help give excluded Year 11's a second chance and an opportunity at a fresh start in a new vocational environment.
Prior to working at LMC, Deb was a Youth Worker in Carlisle where she ran projects to aid young people at risk of being involved with crime. She than taught English at Preston College.
My favourite part of my job is helping people achieve their GCSE English, a key qualification which will open doors for them in the future. I also really enjoy the fun and interesting conversations I get to have with my learners. In the teacher education side my favourite part is helping trainee teachers gain confidence and knowledge in their new role.
When asked about why she enjoys working at College, Deb said:
I enjoy that I am contributing to the wider community, by supplying them with the knowledge to progress further in their personal and professional lives.
In regards to the teaching course that she delivers, Deb said:
Teaching is a challenging but very rewarding job. It takes a whole career to learn how to do it well – this course will give you a great start on that journey. The teacher training courses give lots of opportunity for interesting discussions and reading about the latest research in how people learn best. They focus on what really works in the classroom or workshop environment.
I would say come to College, study Beauty Therapy, be pampered, pamper clients, but be prepared to work hard for the qualifications to get far in the industry. It's a very rewarding career to go into, putting smiles on clients faces and giving them a new found confidence.
