Shamed Scots teacher who 'had sex with pupil' talks of 'clean slate' in social media return

A former PE teacher who allegedly had sex with a pupil at prom has returned to social media to post videos doing yoga and assuring viewers they can have a “clean slate”.

Melissa Tweedie was struck off the teaching register by The General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) in February following an investigation into her behaviour with a teen pupil. The 28-year-old was alleged to have slept with the 18-year-old after the school leavers night at SWG3 in Glasgow in June 2017.

The former teacher at Gleniffer High School in Paisley, Renfrewshire, moved to Dubai following the allegations and later locked her social media accounts down during the hearing. However, months after being struck off, Tweedie returned to social media to post meditation and online classes on YouTube after changing her career to become a yoga teacher in Dubai.
