Hi.
I graduated from uni last year, and am preparing my PGCE application at the moment, as I'm really interested in going into teaching.
I also applied for Teach First earlier this year, and was told a couple of weeks ago that I'd been unsuccessful. Today, I had a feedback call from them explaining that I'd been very close to getting accepted but had missed on one thing - problem solving (one of the assessed competencies).
I still want to continue applying for a PGCE (to start from September this year, so I know I haven't got very long left to apply!) but since the feedback call, AIBU to consider applying for TF again.
I have something lined up that I'm considering for next year (tutoring English abroad), but I suppose my question is:
Is it worth potentially putting my career plans on hold to tutor abroad for a year (there is, among other things, a fairly decent salary involved with the tutoring) or is it best just to go for a PGCE from September this year? What do you think?
Thanks everyone!
