I am qualifed as a secondary school English teacher in the UK, and worked in a range of schools over 4 years (including special schools). I then worked in vocational training for a few years (3 years), before moving into Adult Education teaching a wide range of functional skills (literacy and numeracy) and vocational courses (which I did for 4 years). I left formal teaching 2 years ago in order to home educate my son, who is on the autistic spectrum.
