Q&A with Najma Khan

Najma is a trainee Maths teacher and a mother of two. How does she find time for it all?

Don’t be put off by the narrative that it is very intensive and too tough – every job is tough but teacher training is very rewarding and worth the effort. You need to prioritise your tasks and stay organised.

I’m a mother of two with many responsibilities and I manage to juggle work, family time and hobbies. I don’t have much extra time for much more socialising but I prioritise what is important and know my limits.

I want to give children a chance – I can work with any group of children, particularly low attainment, so you can really see the reward.
