21 years of teaching, assessing, supporting, marking, planning, running, laughing and living a life dedicated to others – my learners, one thing I’ve learnt is that learning does not always happen the way most people think it happens. It doesn’t always happen best in a classroom or on an online Zoom lesson. Learning can take place on your journey home after a lesson, at home while cooking, on holiday, while watching your favourite show on Netflix, scrolling through Instagram or TikTik, or even while listening to your playlist on Spotify or YouTube.
Learning does not always depend on you attending a course, paying attention in lessons (although this is a very good idea!) or always doing your homework on time (also wise if you don’t want to get told off!). It really depends on whether YOU are interested, motivated or invested in LEARNING. Also, nothing beats being PASSIONATE about learning, ENJOYMENT of the process, and having plenty of FUN working towards your goals.
