Lots of information to take in last week, felt a little overwhelmed, but maybe that's just because it was mainly going though the IT stuff! I have purchased the recommended text book from Amazon for about £10 if anyone else wanted to buy one; I know there's only a limited amount of copies in the library. Looking forward to learning and the first online session on Tuesday 😊. 

So for those of you who don't know me, I'm Lauren and I'm a Study Coach, I support cross college. I'm wanting to get a better understanding of the role of the teacher to improve on my coaching skills. Some random facts about me are I'm a video gamer, an anime fan and find 'gruesome history' very interesting. Currently looking into theories about Jack the Ripper, I recently visited Whitechapel 😊.
