"This year I personally participated in Teach First Week and actually taught a class myself. It was probably one of the scariest experiences I've had in many years, going up in front of a year 9 maths class, and it really brought home just the wonderful work and the impact that Teach First can have in so many schools, every day."
David Thomlinson, Accenture

"Deloitte recognises the power of Teach First's Ambassador Community and their ability to make systemic change whether inside or outside of the classroom. We have a number of ambassadors working for us here at Deloitte and their classroom experiences have given them an excellent grounding in leadership skills. Their ability to enter our business whether as summer interns or as permanent members of staff and very quickly make a difference across our business is hugely valuable to us. They are effective agents of social change and we are excited to see the potential this community can bring in shaping the future of education in the UK and beyond."
