      Hi Chloe,
      My Science teacher was amazing. She loved Science and you could this by how passionately she thought us in school! She would even run some after school classes for more specialised subjects such as genetics. It was great!
      She really inspired me to do Science because she made it so interesting and easy for us to learn!

      Hey Chloe!

      I had two science teachers, one for Chemistry and one for Physics, and I loved them both. One really pushed me to the best I could. And the other didn’t teach for an exam, he just worked on the subject, trying to keep us all interested. He’s one of the main reasons I went into Physics.

      But above all it’s the subject that keeps people interested. I had a brilliant French teacher, but I always hated it. So I didn’t go into French!

      Follow what you love and you’ll always be on the right track!

      Hey,

      I liked all of my science teachers (and there were plenty of them), some more, some less, but there was never one I really disliked and they were all really inspiring!

      I had a few science teachers in my time in school. I liked all but one (and as I’ve said before, that one was the one who made me sure I wanted to be a scientist). The one I did not like was a really nice person, but she was not a scientist. She had no curiosity about the world and was only interested in teaching the book.

      But every other science teacher I had was engaged and enthusiastic and made science, for me, a thing to be enjoyed rather than pursued out of spite!

      I had some science teachers that I really liked, and other that I didn’t. I think it helped me that I also learned some about science from my parents and in Scouting, so I had a sense of what I found interesting in science that was separate from how I felt about my various teachers. But having even just one really good teacher can be huge for how you feel about a subject. I had an amazing maths teacher in secondary school who completely changed how I felt about maths.
