Teach First Reviews 3

My daughter applied for this, having a passion for helping deprived children. She was invited to an assessment centre, but then had to chase repeatedly over a number of weeks for details. Once they arrived she booked her travel, then asked for details of what to expect. None were forthcoming. Then at 21:00 on the Friday before she was informed she would need to attend an interview on the following Monday and Tuesday. These coincided with her 21st Birthday dinner, for which family members were travelling from 3 continents, and a lecture. On asking to rearrange and offering alternatives, she received an extremely condescending reply that suggested if she was unwilling to change her plans she should reconsider her fit fir the program.

If this serious lack of organisation is reflected in their approach to training avoid like the plague.

Incompetent and heartless, these people should have no part to play in the education of vulnerable children.

They do not reply to e mails juat suggest phone numbers (uncontactable).They are handling the NTP - how on earth were they awarded the contract. I am a retired teacher trying to apply as a tutor. Please do not waste my time Teach First

Before applying, I questioned why their drop out rate was so high. Well, I guess now I know. They value brown-nosing above and beyond all other traits.
