I’m a big believer in needing variety to keep you challenged and to support and help your mental health during these times. How are you doing mentally with being in lockdown?
Personally, I think you need to structured times and to be really disciplined yet, it is still tough especially when they’re grabbing your hand and wanting to play with you. I’m trying to make education as fun as possible to get kids around the UK who are stuck with limited or no education, learning at home.īut I’m trying not to feel guilty as it is actually work time, and I wouldn’t usually be at home – working and being home with the kids are two separate things: I try to remember that. So, for the past few weeks I’ve been bringing what I usually do at schools to YouTube, running two live lessons a week – every Tuesday and Thursday at 10am to inspire kids to read and love books. When the schools closed I was contacted by multiple parents and teachers asking for my advice on making lessons at home fun and engaging. I also had bookings to go to schools in other countries this year, but unfortunately they’ve been cancelled or postponed. This year, before the coronavirus hit, I have also been to Dubai and Colorado with work, which was amazing. I work part-time as a primary school teacher and part time as an educational consultant and advisor.įor the past two years I’ve also been visiting schools as MC GRAMMAR – a rapping teacher that delivers the national curriculum objectives by rapping and rhyming over fresh beats and melodies.īoth my role as an educational consultant and my work as MC GRAMMAR means I’m usually visiting up to four cities each week around the UK. Usually I’m not a home in the week during working hours. Hey, Jacob! How has the pandemic changed the way you work? H teaches children about English through rap (Picture: Jacob Mitchell)
