Iram Iqbal

A highly courageous, responsible and hardworking individual, with a first-class honors degree in Primary Education with recommendation with QTS. My range of teaching experiences, such as university placements and supply teaching, has equipped me with a logical and analytical mindset, allowing me to swiftly adapt to diverse classroom settings and addressing challenges in pupils' learning through effective problem solving. I am deeply passionate about the significance of continuous learning and skill development, which drives me to engage students of all ages and abilities within the classroom, creating an inclusive and highly stimulating learning environment.

As a proactive and goal-orientated team player, my strong communication skills enable me to coordinate with teaching assistants efficiently, share insights with colleagues, and actively support and enhance team meetings with my contributions. This empowers me to build substantial relationships with students and staff and provides me with opportunities to make a positive impact to schools' education system. Furthermore, my excellent project management and organisational skills influence my ability to competently execute lesson plans, monitor student progress, and make a beneficial difference to every school I join.
