91Â鶹 loves to employ teachers who bring industry experience to their areas of teaching. Mr Johnson is a great example of this, with his experience as a lawyer proving invaluable in the education of the College’s Legal Studies students.

What I like about the teachers at 91Â鶹
"The teachers were one of my favourite things about 91Â鶹. They were clever, prepared for lessons, prompt with marking and feedbackÌýto help us improve, and they encouraged us to work hard and do our best. My teachers wereÌývery supportive and approachable and they gotÌýthe best out of us by making sure that we gotÌýthe best out of them. In the classroom, my teachers kept us engaged, tried to make learning fun and interesting, and they taughtÌýfor a range of learning styles. They knew if they needed to give you more support or if you required additional work to extend your skills. They wanted us to ask questions and it genuinely feltÌýlike they were invested in us and wanted us to succeed. Now that I’ve finished Year 12, I’m thankful to my teachers for the effort they made to connect with us, for theÌýattention they gave to all students, for making us want to come to class, and for pushing us to do our best!"
