Paul found himself in a common predicament among university graduates. Despite earning a Master’s degree in Philosophy, he struggled to secure a full-time job, spending nine months in a fruitless search. During this time, he worked part-time night shifts in administrative support. It was then that he learnt about the Educational Learning Support Hub (ELSH).

Motivated by the opportunity, Paul joined ELSH as a classroom assistant volunteer and soon advanced to the role of volunteer teacher. He also completed a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) course, which significantly enhanced his teaching skills at ELSH.

Paul’s experience at ELSH proved invaluable. After leaving, he leveraged his newfound skills to secure a position as a supply teacher. Today, he works across various schools, teaching multiple subjects, including Geography.
