Like many young people I didn't know what career path to follow when I left College. When an apprenticeship for a teaching assistant position became available something became clear and I felt that this would be my chosen path. I'm now a qualified teacher and have my very own Learner Mentor group. I feel very privileged to work with such a great team and get to support so many amazing young people who inspire me every day.

Hi, I'm Sophie and I'm one of the teachers within Supported Studies. I first started at Harlow College as an Apprentice, supporting young people with additional needs. From then, until now, I have had some different roles to get to where I am now. I absolutely love working in Supported Studies and getting to watch my learners' progress and succeed throughout their time with us. I find it very inspiring working with young people with Special Needs and love watching their journey and their confidence grow from when they first join us.
