Trainee Primary Teacher

Maria Isabel is a dedicated and resilient aspiring primary teacher with a rich and varied professional background. After earning a BA (Hons) in Social Communication from the Technical University of Lisbon, she built a successful early career in journalism and media production. However, it was through motherhood and a growing passion for education that she chose to transition into teaching.

Since 2016, Maria Isabel has amassed extensive experience as a Teaching Assistant in a range of London primary schools. Her roles have included supporting pupils with SEND, leading interventions across core subjects, and fostering emotional and social development through nurture groups. Her work in inner-city schools has developed her strong behaviour management skills and deepened her understanding of the diverse needs within the classroom.

Maria Isabel’s strengths lie in her adaptability, compassion, and unwavering commitment to pupil success. She sees education as a powerful tool to shape lives and is now ready to take the next step in her journey by training to become a qualified teacher, motivated by a desire to be a positive, consistent presence in children’s lives.
