Mentoring and reviewing at Queen Mary Academy provide a valuable opportunity to support colleagues in their professional journeys, refine their teaching practice, and navigate career development. Being part of this process allows me to contribute to a culture of collaboration and shared learning.

For me, mentoring is an opportunity to gain fresh perspectives, as each conversation brings new insights into the challenges and innovations shaping teaching and learning. Engaging in these discussions strengthens my ability to offer constructive feedback, enhances my ability to support and guide others, and reinforces my commitment to continuous growth.

Reviewing fellowship applications for teaching recognition is equally rewarding, as it allows me to celebrate colleagues' achievements. It is particularly fulfilling to help individuals gain well-deserved recognition for their work. The most rewarding aspect of both mentoring and reviewing is seeing colleagues grow in confidence in their teaching approaches and practice while achieving their professional goals. Knowing that I have played a small part in their journey makes the experience incredibly meaningful.
