I can't pick from my MFL teachers! They were all incredibly engaging and really made me believe in myself. My enthusiasm for languages is undoubtedly down to them.

My favourite teacher was my RE teacher, Mrs Hinder. She was the most fun and sarcastic teacher in the school and always made her lessons incredibly engaging and inclusive (and she helped me get an A*!).

One day my favourite English teacher (I can't remember her name!) asked me to read out a story I'd written to the class – It was, and still is, one of my proudest moments.

Mrs Shall and Tony Scola were wonderful English teachers, who inspired a lifelong love of the subject. They shared books with me and believed in me, and I'll always be hugely grateful to them.

When I first started secondary school I didn’t enjoy languages at all, but thanks to a couple of very energetic and engaging teachers I ended up loving them!

Mrs Wiseman, my drama teacher, was the best! Her passion for the job and the way she taught was contagious! If there was an Award for the Best Teacher, I’m sure she would have got it! She was a true inspiration!

The lovely Miss Monro was a bit unconventional and made English lessons fun. One memorable year, she encouraged us to write a summer panto and dreamt up the title 'Ali Baba and the murky tea leaves'.

Mrs Harvie, my maths teacher, was my favourite! She really believed in me and as Maths was not a particular strength of mine, she had endless patience too!

My favourite teacher was Mr Mac. He was one of the first teachers to see potential in me and encouraged me to believe in myself and aim higher. He also wore some very cool ties!

My favourite teacher has to be my A-Level law tutor, his laid back nature and ability to explain subjects in such an easy and interesting way, left me with a lifelong interest in law.

My favourite teachers were Mr Body and Mrs Toddman who taught music. They were so inspirational and spent countless hours helping me realise my creative potential.

My favourite teacher was Brian, he was my lecturer at uni and was always there to help with not just uni but also life's little problems.

My most memorable teacher was my GCSE French teacher, Madame Helmore, who was a very small lady with a very big personality. She taught with fury and sarcasm but her unique ways of helping us to remember vocab still stick with me even now.

A teacher that stands out for me is my grumpy but very witty secondary school art teacher, Mr Elgey. His art room was full of weird and wonderful items collected over the years and I always looked forward to his classes.
