Bhaskara used to work in a bank but decided to take a career break after his workplace closed because of Brexit. As he was considering his career options, he had a moment of reflection that led him to teaching.

"I wanted to do something that was different and a bit more useful in the community."

"There's a great shortage of teachers at the moment and that's what made me want to do it."
