My favourite part of my job is helping people achieve their GCSE English, a key qualification which will open doors for them in the future.
Deb Williams started teaching at Lancaster and Morecambe College in August 2000. She came to LMC to help give excluded Year 11's a second chance and an opportunity at a fresh start in a new vocational environment.
Prior to working at LMC, Deb was a Youth Worker in Carlisle where she ran projects to aid young people at risk of being involved with crime. She than taught English at Preston College.
My favourite part of my job is helping people achieve their GCSE English, a key qualification which will open doors for them in the future. I also really enjoy the fun and interesting conversations I get to have with my learners. In the teacher education side my favourite part is helping trainee teachers gain confidence and knowledge in their new role.
When asked about why she enjoys working at College, Deb said:
I enjoy that I am contributing to the wider community, by supplying them with the knowledge to progress further in their personal and professional lives.
In regards to the teaching course that she delivers, Deb said:
Teaching is a challenging but very rewarding job. It takes a whole career to learn how to do it well – this course will give you a great start on that journey. The teacher training courses give lots of opportunity for interesting discussions and reading about the latest research in how people learn best. They focus on what really works in the classroom or workshop environment.
Industry specific apprenticeships are a great way to learn new skills and knowledge, achieve a recognised qualification and earn a wage. Customer service is the corner stone of every successful business, and courses at LMC will help you identify, improve and introduce these skills successfully.
My favourite part of my role is helping my students take the first step towards fulfilling their ambitions to go to university and, eventually, progressing into their dream careers.
I love working with my students and helping them to achieve their goals. It is extremely rewarding when students pass their exams, grasp a complex concept, and, ultimately, succeed in their qualification and in their careers.
If you are interested in finding out more about how children learn and how we best support them, are considering a career in education, child psychology or social work put LMC at the top of your list! We have excellent industry links for placement experience and combined with our experienced and highly qualified lecturers, we can give you a real edge in the world of work or applying for university.
I love working at Lancaster & Morecambe College with such an amazing team that are passionate about delivering outstanding teaching across the departments. The Apprenticeship courses at LMC are well developed programmes that offer students amazing opportunities and experiences, whilst allowing them to earn while they learn as they progress through the Apprenticeship.
In my role as a course tutor I’m responsible for ensuring that my students develop in many areas, and not just Hairdressing. I like to encourage my students to improve their well-being as well as support them with their personal development and learning journey, to gain the knowledge to be successful within their course to achieve the qualifications they need to progress in the industry.
