Kitty McWhirter, an Education Consultant with Simply Learning Tuition, was one of the first people I got to know in my new home area in Suffolk. Kitty has been coaching me to improve my tennis playing over the summer, and we struck up a conversation about teaching and learning and recorded a podcast. This podcast has captured our conversation in five questions about “Reaching Our Full Potential”:

1. How would you define "reaching your full potential"?

2. What do you need to reach your full potential?

3. At what age do children start striving and trying to get better at something?

4. How can schools help children reach their full potential?

5. How can parents help children reach their full potential?

6. What are the main things holding children back from reaching their full potential?
