In-person teaching experience in a wide range of settings for very different purposes has given me a deeper appreciation of how people learn. Added to the Level 4 Certificate in Further Education Teaching Stage 1 from City & Guilds, this foundation offers me an appreciation of the importance of learning styles, making learning fun and interactive, and this very much applies to my approach to eLearning.
