In this episode, Clare is joined by Tem, an educator and podcaster who inspires students to fulfil their potential while providing practical strategies to help other teachers. At the age of 10, Tem moved from Saudi Arabia to London. She provides invaluable insight into what it is like to change countries as a child. Tem also explains how she moved away from her cultural norms without damaging family bonds.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When parents are nervous about the move children feel it too.
• Language skills make a big difference to how easy it is to settle.
• Trying new things is the key to developing social skills and building confidence.
• You have to be brave and follow your dream rather than someone else’s.
• Trust your instincts, listen to what you feel inside.
• When you try too hard to please others, you let yourself down and can´t be happy.

BEST MOMENTS
