Natasha - 
Teacher of Philosophy

Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

About the job

Main responsibilities

I teach Philosophy A Level, GCSE RS, and Moral Philosophy to Year 9 and 10 students.

Typical day

I arrive at work at about 8.15, check my emails and look over what I'm going to be teaching for the day. The rest of the day will be spent, teaching, marking, planning lessons, organising activities, occasionally attending meetings with colleagues, and meeting students individually to discuss work.
