I am increasingly aware of the responsibility that comes with a job in teaching. My conscious and unconscious action may have important long term effects for the young people I teach. Many of my students are impressionable or have been turned off education by unprofessional teaching. It is important to me that I relate to the people in my class whilst remaining professional. I am a Personal Tutor to twenty students. This involves advising my learners in various areas. Life skills, future career prospects, personal matters and, of course, the subject I teach. I believe myself to be a fair and unprejudiced person but I have welcomed the opportunity to ratify this with Equality and Diversity and Personal tutor training (see Appendix C).
