Limin Bai
With 15 years of experience in childcare, I’ve built a strong foundation in supporting young children’s development and have a real understanding of the day-to-day realities of the early years sector. I also spent five wonderful years tutoring on the Early Years programme at Portobello Institute, where I guided students through both the practical and academic sides of their studies. As a graduate of Portobello myself, having completed both my degree and master’s here, I truly value the student journey from learner to professional. Now, in my role supporting you, my focus is on helping you move forward with confidence. No matter your background or previous experience with education, I’m here to support you in progressing your career and taking the next step in your professional development.
