The REAch Teach Experience🥳

Discover the REAch Teach Experience Through the Eyes of Our Trainees

Step into the classroom with two passionate trainees as they share their journey of becoming teachers through the REAch Teach program.

From the very first day in September, they were immersed in hands-on learning, rotating through diverse school placements and gaining real-world experience.

With a strong support network and a vibrant community of peers, their training was more than just professional development—it was a transformative life experience.

Balancing Life
and Learning📚

Teacher training can feel daunting—especially when juggling personal responsibilities and stepping into a new career.

But choosing a school-based route offers more than just practical experience; it builds a community.

From the challenges of starting out to the joy of forming lifelong connections, the experience is shaped by mentors who go above and beyond—offering guidance, encouragement, and mutual learning.

It’s not just about becoming a teacher. It’s about growing through collaboration, discovering personal strengths, and being part of a learning environment that uplifts and empowers.
