Work experience:
I have 15 years of teaching experience - 3 in the UK, 2 in China, 4 in Saudi Arabia, 4 in the UAE. I arrived in Moscow during the summer of 2024.

What makes you a good teacher?
Teaching is a rewarding profession because it allows you to make a significant impact on the lives of young people. As a teacher, I can make a real difference in the world by inspiring and shaping the minds of future generations. Teaching has also offered me the chance to grow, as I have engaged with a diverse range of students and adapted to new educational challenges around the world. I inspire my students by showing a genuine enthusiasm for the subjects I teach and relating them to real life. Positive reinforcement is key, as I strive to recognise and celebrate the achievements and progress made by children. Every child is unique and must learn to compete with themselves as opposed to each other. Trying your best is what matters, as opposed to coming top of the class in every subject.

Achievements:
I am very proud of all the students I have taught around the Middle East and Asia, who have worked really hard to learn English as a second language.

Lifestyle:
I like walking in the many beautiful parks of Moscow, and look forward to seeing all the sites of historical interest that Russia has to offer. I have had several memorable experiences when travelling. One was visiting Palestine in 2019, when a family welcomed me into their home and cooked me a lovely meal, showing such hospitality to a stranger in their land. Another was visiting the Forbidden City in Beijing during the summer of 2018, when I was mobbed by groups of Chinese people from the countryside who had never seen a white man before. All the children wanted to have their photographs taken with me. I now know what it must feel like to be a celebrity!

Dreams & Ambitions:
My dream is to see every child reach their full potential in life.
