As a teacher, I aim to have a significant, positive and life-long impact on my students. I hope to not only impact my student through my teaching but also by fostering a sense of student self-esteem and belonging. Through these practices, I hope to increase student engagement and motivation. I want students to have a positive outlook on schooling and when they look back to their schooling days, have good memories of their time there.

Vineetha demonstrated a high degree of commitment to the teaching profession and was willing to put in the extra hours in order to meet the demands of the job. Her maturity and friendliness has been most welcome within the Science faculty. Vineetha displayed an obvious commitment to teaching and was able to develop personal and professional relationships with students and staff during her time at Blackfriars. This was evident through her relaxed and confident approach with the students, which enabled her to gain their respect. Vineetha was able to begin her teaching block very well due to the fact she knew many of her student’s names within a couple of lessons. She immediately became familiar with the school’s behaviour management policy and was able to ensure that the students knew their boundaries and abided by them. She demonstrates a genuine interest of all students in her care and conveys an enthusiasm for teaching which definitely fostered a pleasing level of respect. Her students were eager and enthusiastic learners under her guidance.
