Becky Naylor-Teece
Academic Skills Officer (Pre-Entry)
Becky joined Enhancement in April 2024 as an Academic Skills Officer in the Learn with US Transition Team.
She delivers interactive workshops and taster lectures to Sixth Form students, aimed at developing the research skills required for EPQ projects (or other research-based qualifications). In addition, Becky hosts library visits and student 1:1 sessions, providing bespoke advice for students undertaking EPQ projects.
A former secondary Science teacher, Becky draws on several years of teaching experience to make her sessions interactive and engaging. During her teaching career, Becky worked specifically with students from disadvantaged backgrounds, raising their aspirations and encouraging their participation in HE. This experience gave her an in-depth understanding of the challenges and barriers students from WP backgrounds can face.
Becky graduated from Durham University in 2016 with a BSc in Psychology. She entered teaching through TeachFirst, meanwhile completing a PGDE teaching qualification.
Afterwards, Becky completed a MEd in education. Her research explored teachers’ motivations for transitioning out of the profession.
