About
Hi! I'm Hazel
Welcome to my teaching blog, as written by me :)
​
I am a 30-something year old teacher, writer and mum. I work as an English teacher and mentor in a secondary school. I work closely with trainees and ECTs, helping them through their early career journey. I hope that all the trainees and ECTs I work with see what amazing educators they are, and why they are fantastic in their roles.
​
With my blog, my goal is to offer honest and relatable advice and reviews about all things teaching, and anything else I find along the way. I’m not an expert, but I found that in the early days of my teaching career, particularly my training and NQT years, I struggled to find advice and support that was easily accessible, relatable to my current position and that I could read without it eating into my precious limited time.
​
I use this blog as platform for myself and others to share our experiences and offer relatable everyday advice on teaching, training, CPD, helpful tips and anything else I find interesting :)
