Greg Larmouth

I first attended the University of Sunderland in 2008, completing my undergraduate degree in 2011. I then qualified as a secondary school teacher via School's Direct training, specialising in English at Key Stage 3 and 4, Media Studies at Key Stage 4 and 5, and teaching in schools across the north-east of England.

I have worked at the University since 2018, initially in Student Support Services. At this time, I was responsible for implementing the University's PASS scheme and helped to oversee its subsequent expansion before joining the IITT team in 2022. It was during this time that I also completed my MA in Education, with my thesis research looking at the employability benefits of being a PASS Leader.

I am Programme Leader for the February intake of iQTS. I am also module leader for the first Teaching Practice module on this course, IQS300 – Emerging Professional Practice in International Secondary Education, and module leader for the first Teaching Practice module on PGCE Education, PGE300 – Emerging Professional Practice in Education. I am also a Personal Academic Tutor for our PGCE and an assessor on the Assessment Only Route to QTS.

I have previously qualified as a Mental Health First Aider, trained through MHFA England, completed Suicide Intervention training, and have a student-focused approach to my practice and research.

Currently, my research is focused on using podcasting and audio-based content to assist in the assessment and delivery of International Teacher Training and Education
