Trainee Business Studies Teacher

Joy Joshua views teaching not merely as a profession, but as a highly rewarding career that allows her to contribute to students' personal development. Her passion for business, deeply rooted in her own academic and professional journey, motivates her to show how it can benefit others as well. Joy believes the Grad2Teach programme is the ideal platform to cultivate her passion for teaching Business Studies. Her enthusiasm for business originates not only from owning a business but also from observing how business skills impact daily life. Skills such as organisation, critical thinking, analysis, problem-solving, and efficient decision-making are essential in both daily life and understanding fundamental business principles. Having completed an undergraduate degree in Law with Business at Nottingham Trent University, Joy has gained a solid understanding of core modules including Business Management, Business Analytics, International Management, and Managing and Organising for Human Resources. Her experience working in various business sectors has further broadened her knowledge of different business practices and honed her ability to convey complex concepts engagingly. Joy believes all teachers recognise the unique differences and learning habits of students. She strives to create a comfortable and engaging space that fosters growth and self-development, promoting self-empowerment. Joy is committed to ensuring every student enjoys and evolves in their learning habits. She aims to continuously encourage critical thinking and teamwork skills, fostering a passion for learning in every student. As a recent graduate with some tutoring experience, Joy finds the Grad2Teach programme’s emphasis on practical training and in-depth mentoring with coordinators aligns perfectly with her goals of becoming an excellent teacher. The programme's structure will help build and refine her teaching skills, which is a key factor in her decision to apply for the Grad2Teach scheme
