What support did KMT provide you following your interview?

KMT were very good at keeping in touch. KMT were very good at supporting me with regards to my non-binary gender identity, and were supportive with liasing with the schools about how the students would refer to me – KMT suggested that I use “Teacher” instead of “miss or sir”, and this has been very smooth with the schools too.
