  • S02E13 A Day in the Life of Syd
    Oct 3 2021

    S02E13 A Day in the Life of Syd Welcome to Season 2 of the UK Educators Community Podcast, where you'll get a sneak peek into Educator's diaries, as Syd asks her guests to run through one of their typical days. This is the final episode of this season, and due to popular demand, Syd will be sharing details of one of her days. Just some of the points raised during this season finale are:

    • Syd is PASSIONATE about disrupting and improving the current education system. She knows many other educators share her thoughts, and identifies that we need to collaborate and pull in the same direction, to cause impact through a movement and create change together.
    • Syd talks about the importance of flexibility. Before the pandemic, her business was all face to face. As with many businesses at the time, it ground to a halt overnight. Her flexibility allowed her to adapt, and create an online model which works brilliantly.
    • When you work for yourself, you don't need to be bound by typical working hours. Syd often works into the wee small hours, because she can be productive and effective at that time. It's important to identify what working practices work best for you, and embrace them.

  • S02E12 A Day in the Life of A Primary Maths & English Specialist with Siobhan Simpson
    Sep 19 2021

    S02E12 A Day in the Life of A Primary Maths & English Specialist with Siobhan Simpson Welcome to Season 2 of the UK Educators Community Podcast, where you'll get a sneak peek into Educator's diaries, as Syd asks her guests to run through one of their typical days. On this episode, you'll meet Siobhan Simpson, who helps professional Mums raise their child's confidence in maths through online learning through her company, Primrose Tuition You can see more about Siobhan and her tuition business here: https://www.primrosetuition.co.uk/ The conversation on today's episode covers many points, including:

    • Siobhan LOVES working for herself as a tutor. When she worked in a traditional schooling environment, her "to do" list would keep her awake at night! She always felt overstretched in school, but now she's got time to offer her students much more quality support.
    • Siobhan is currently tutoring one to one, but has recently tested out a group teaching programme in KS2 Maths, which was successful. She'll be filtering this model into her business over time.
    • Siobhan's advice to people starting in their education business, is to "keep going and be consistent", as there's always another client "just around the corner". Consistency is also absolutely key in social media marketing. It CAN be tough, but a positive mindset will get you through the testing times.

  • S02E11 A Day in the Life of An Art and Design Portfolio Educator with Julie Read
    Sep 12 2021

    S02E11 A Day in the Life of An Art and Design Portfolio Educator with Julie Read. Welcome to Season 2 of the UK Educators Community Podcast, where you'll get a sneak peek into Educator's diaries, as Syd asks her guests to run through one of their typical days. On this episode, you'll meet Julie Read, who's an Art Tutor from Edinburgh. Julie works with art students to expand and develop their portfolios, and helps them get into their top university choice. Check out her company "Portfolio Oomph" here: https://www.portfolio-oomph.com/

    • Julie's used to working in colleges, with her day starting at 9am and finishing at 4pm. Since starting her tutoring business, she's had a big shift in mindset. Initially she used to stick to those rigid times, but now allows herself more flexibility in hours, and loves it.
    • Julie encourages risk taking in art, when the piece isn't being assessed for exams. Risks allow creativity to grow and can lead to amazing things. If a risk doesn't pay off, she encourages the student to reflect and develop.
    • Julie encourages her students to use many different tools to express their artistic ideas in the most relevant way. The finished piece may be a painting, a photograph, a video, just about anything!
