A lecturer at Harrow College has won a teaching award from the University of Westminster.

Rebecca Eliahoo who trains teachers at the college's Harrow campus in Lowlands Road, has received a Teaching Fellowship.

She has also been given £5,000 for a project in teaching and learning.

Rebecca teaches on the college's Certificate in Education course, which is validated by the university, which has a campus nearby in Watford Road.

"This award reflects the hard work of the Certificate in Education team," she said.

"We work well with the university and its Educational Initiative Centre."

This is the first year the award has been granted. It will be formally presented at a ceremony at the unversity's Regent Park campus on Friday, March 17.

College principal Dr Barbara Field said: "Rebecca is the only applicant from an associate college of the university to receive this award, a great honour not only for her but for Harrow College.

"It is a tribute to her commitment to research so that she can understand students and what will help them to achieve even better. We are very proud of her achievement."

Before becoming a lecturer, Rebecca was a journalist, freelancing for newspapers such as the Guardian and the Times and writing for marketing and design magazines.

In 1997 she launched the college's journalism course and ran it for six years, helping to train many of the reporters on the Harrow Times and our sister papers.

She lives in Stanmore with her husband Julian and their two sons, Adam and James.
