Which online platform do you use for setting homework?

Super helpful! Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you for this enlightening video 💙

I have just moved England and applied for my QTS with PGCE. And I have been offered a place. Holding my Masters degree from Pakistan when English is not my first language, how difficult it would be for me? Feeling under confident because my English Language is basic.

Overwhelmed 😫 but thanks for the tips.

Great video, really helpful ❤

Thanks a lot

Your videos are so helpful. I really appreciate your good deeds towards teaching professionals. I am about to start my PGCE secondary at the University of Manchester in September 2024. I keep watching your tips and experience, and it is fascinating that you have made progress within 3 years of being a head of subject. Congratulations on your achievement 🎉❤ It would have been so helpful if you could please make videos on your insight of us8ng ChatGPT to prep lesson planning and classroom material. Also, i would like to request that you please make a video on how you prepare class lecture, what type of lecture you normally use while ceturing such as ppt slides, etc. Thanks!

Thank u...

Thank you so, so much!

Just wanted to say that I'm really glad I found your channel. Your videos are really inspirational and fill me with hope for my upcoming PGCE and career change to secondary teaching. I know exactly where to head if I'm feeling stuck or need help with organisation/work load. I also appreciate your calm nature and positive attitude which make these a pleasure to watch and make me feel calm and positive in turn! :)

Hello I am looking forward to study and work in the United Kingdom . Please give me some advice on the teaching career path

Thanks Sofia, this video is so real and clearly articulates the challenges faced by teachers and how much of a mental load we carry for our students. Thank you for your honesty and all of what you said resonates strongly. I can sense your teacher-guilt (for want of a better term) at not being able to meet the needs of all students, all the time but I'm sure your students will take from your lessons a sense of having a passionate teacher who genuinely cares for them, their well-being and their progress.

Hi Sofia, I'm a secondary Science teacher (Chemistry) in Australia. Thanks for another useful video. I'm off to check out Notion thank you for the tip. Yes email is a challenge! I have a similar system to you however after processing my emails I either delete (if I don't need to keep), archive (if I might need the info for later, my archive is searchable) and I leave in my inbox only emails that need to be actioned. This way the inbox is a mini to-do list. Once actioned emails are either archived or deleted. Have a great day!

Could you do a video on paperflow, and parent teacher conference, calling parents.

I am a UK teacher too in secondary school in England, I teach maths and computer science

Wonderful advice. I appreciate that you are helping us teachers. I hope you end up in teacher therapy youtube channel and share your experiences in Uk.

It is very difficult, but for some reason I love teaching. Isn’t that weird?

Thanks for another great video Sophia. Hope you are keeping well. As a fellow middle leader, I am looking forward to hearing more about how you manage workloads and priorities across the department.

It’s a delight to watch your videos, you transmit a very peaceful energy and it really helps me get motivated to take things slowly as a secondary- school teacher in Spain. Sending love your way ❤

So lovely to see another video from you, Sophia!

Could you do a video about your roles as a HOD and what your job consists of maybe?x

I love your videos! They are so informative ❤ could you please share with us the main duties for HOD and how the week go in general!

Is it possible to do a PGCE in chemistry (I’m assuming I will teach all sciences tbh) to become a part time tutor? ☺️ I feel I have a desire to teach in some aspect but the behavioural aspect may not be sustainable long term ✨

I’m interested in this course

Thanks a bunch. You're a blessing.❤

I'm so glad you're back! Hope you're having a good start!

How did you decide on notion?

this was really interesting and helpful! i’m starting my PGCE in secondary chemistry this month, i’m sure i’ll find implementing your advice very useful 💗 thank you!

Thanks for the video! How long did it take you to become Head of Biology?

Your videos are super informative and are sooo appreciated!! I'm a new HOD this year at a new school and this handbook is perfect!! would love to see a copy of it and the feedback policy! ♥

Could you please suggest me a good stationary pack that a teacher need

I want to get into teaching, so id love to see your favourite science books or books that inspired you to become a science educator.

Loved this video! I was so happy when I saw your video pop up. Really looking forward to more content ❤

Schemes of work and more lesson prep videos would be amazing

Yayyyy for the upload! 🎉 I hope you know how your thorough and detailed videos are sooooo appreciated

So glad you’re back 🥰

Welcome back ! Glad to see you again

Hello 👋🏻 congratulations on you year as HoD; it’s no mean feat! 🤓 You do seem to have a heavy TT for it though!? I miss AQA so much 😂 the SQA for Sciences just doesn’t compare in my opinion. Also, would you ever consider using OneNote instead of Notion? The 365 capabilities are really vast, especially for what you have been doing for documentation and the ability to link/ sinc with outlook for deadlines and meeting notes etc are really easy to navigate. Just a thought. Have a great summer, enjoy the rest, school starts again here next week (Scotland) 😢

Welcome back.

Hi!! Glad you're back! Im starting my secondary science PGCE this September and your channel has been a wonderful resource and has made me feel more confident going into it

Lovely video, would like to see a video on curriculum mapping and sequencing

Do you have any samples of evidence for primary teacher please ?

Thank you for this video. You are great!

You seem so cute and sweet. Thanks for the advice!

Can I apply for the post graduate certificate in education? I’m an international student

Sad my mentor woman is a harsh person, no sharing no helping

I have bachelor's in medicine but not from uk and academic ielts certificate score 6 Can I find ajob as science teacher in uk ?

Hello, I am doing research related to lesson planning in different countries, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions on this topic. 1. Do you prepare a plan for each lesson? A-yes B-no 2. How much time do you spend preparing the plan of the lesson? 3.What part of the lesson plan is the most important in your opinion?
