24About Me
Hello! I’m Lorna. I’m a dedicated and approachable lecturer who believes that every student has the potential to succeed when given the right environment, encouragement, and support. I work hard to create a welcoming, respectful, and engaging learning space where students feel comfortable asking questions, expressing ideas, and growing both academically and personally. My teaching approach is interactive and focused on real-world connections, helping students understand the relevance of what they’re learning. I believe that strong communication and trust between lecturer and student are key to a positive educational experience. I continually seek to improve my teaching practices to ensure that I provide high-quality, student-centered learning that inspires confidence, curiosity, and independence.
My teaching style
My teaching style is learning-informed, structured, and supportive. I design lessons with clear goals while adapting to student needs. I enjoy using short, segmented activities to keep learning fresh, engaging, and moving at a comfortable pace. This approach helps maintain focus, encourages active participation, and allows students to absorb information in manageable chunks. I believe that structure combined with variety leads to better understanding and long-term success.
My past experience
I have over 15 years of teaching experience in Further Education colleges across Birmingham, London, and Brighton, and more recently, I’ve expanded my practice to include online teaching. Throughout my career, I’ve taught a wide range of subjects, including Science, Sports Science, Business Studies, and English. This diverse background has allowed me to develop a flexible and inclusive teaching style that meets the varied needs of learners across different subjects and learning environments.
