Trainee Science Teacher - Arooba

About Arooba

Arooba is currently working as an unqualified science teacher at Conisbrough College, where she teaches KS3 and KS4 across Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Her work in both mainstream classrooms and specialist SEN departments has strengthened her ability to differentiate effectively and manage mixed-ability groups with confidence. She has been trusted to plan and deliver lessons, manage practicals, and support with exam preparation.

Alongside teaching, Arooba is proactive in her own development—regularly seeking feedback, attending CPD, and observing colleagues to refine her approach. Her prior roles in education, healthcare, and administrative settings reflect strong organisational and interpersonal skills, which she now applies in the classroom. She also brings experience supporting neurodiverse learners and tailoring learning for a range of needs, including in a resource base and through small-group tuition.
