Season 5, Episode 10 - From Law Books to Logarithms: An Unconventional Route to Teaching

In this episode, Syd speaks to Jessica; a UKVS maths teacher, about her journey from learning about law and going straight into teaching maths. Here are some key takeaways:

➡ Going from subject to subject isn't hard if those subjects are even mildly related.

➡ AI likely won't replace good teachers in their roles, they don't offer the human aspect of a teacher.

➡ Being a teacher is really fun and it's really inspiring to see future generations grow and thrive.

Season 5, Episode 9 - From St Andrews to Stateside: Chemistry Journey Across Borders

In this episode, Syd speaks to Sara - an established science teacher at UK Virtual School - about her journey from Scotland to the US, how she found UKVS and how to teach science virtually. Here are some key takeaways:

➡ Science isn't just about the outcome of an experiment, but how you get to that outcome.

➡ Doing experiments that are gore-y isn't the only way, there are case studies that don't have to be so gruesome.

➡ Online schooling offers teachers and children the option to work from the comfort of their own home and be more confident in that space.

➡ Packing up and moving away from your area can be hard, but it can put you in just the places you need to be to move forward.

➡ Online Schooling allows Sadaf to work from home, an amazing luxury for a mother and it scratches that teaching itch she has.

➡ Moroccan culture is beyond awesome!
