Video transcript

Hi my name's Laura, erm, I've been a teacher for about seven years, erm, my first job was at a school in Ascot, working with young children, erm, and then I went to Poland where I taught, erm, children, teenagers and adults and I worked there for a year. Erm and then I came back to London and I've been working at Embassy CES school in London, erm, for about, yeah, six years now. It's a great school, we have a really good mix of nationalities, it's interesting and erm, in the future I think I'd like to go into teacher training, but we'll just have to see where that goes.
