Lecturer in Electrical Installation
With more than 25 years experience serving in the army with the Royal Corps of Signals and working in the cable television industry, Sean joined Sunderland College in 2014.
I have almost 10 years experience teaching at Sunderland College, and four years as a learning mentor in a school for children with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties.
I have 15 years experience within cable television working on power systems, cable systems and telephony systems. I also worked in telecommunications for 10 years with the Royal Corps of Signals.
I am an Electrical Installations Lecturer, teaching Year 1 and 2 students theory and practical skills, as well as how to write a CV and improving their interview skills.
Teaching was an opportunity that came up after I worked as an electrical contractor. I enjoyed the team spirit and the work so much I stayed and actually moved to Sunderland.
Watching the students grow in confidence and ability, and the fantastic team of lecturers that I work with.
Every day is a best moment for me and they just seem to get better.
Being waved at by students who have gotten an apprenticeship as they drive past in their work vans!
