Mr Philip

Country:

UK

Education:

Leeds Trinity University, University of Bradford and University of Sunderland

Work experience:
I have been a teacher since 2009 and completed my TEFL and TEYL in the Czech Republic. I then decided to complete my PGCE at the University of Sunderland while doing my teacher training at an international school in Brunei Darussalam. I then went on to work in Qatar, Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Croatia and Russia.

What makes you a good teacher?
As a teacher, I chose this profession because I wanted to help children become the best versions of themselves and I believe education can change their lives for a better future. To get students excited about learning, I tell interesting stories related to the lesson and my past experiences and show my own excitement about the subject. To connect with my students, I use humour and tell jokes they can relate to as well as talk about popular movies, music, or games they like.

Achievements:
One of my personal achievements was completing The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. It is a 24-mile (38.6km) round trip route, and includes 1585m (5200ft) of ascent through Ingleborough, Whernside, Pen-y-ghent.

Lifestyle:
I am an avid sportsman and play a variety of sports involving balls and rackets/paddles! One of my most memorable experiences travelling was when I went on a canyon exploration with my wife in Thailand. My hobbies include watching complex movies and documentaries, and my special talent is reading children's minds!

Dreams & Ambitions:
I dream of living in a nice, remote and tranquil place with my wife and my ambition is to own a 1969 Ford Escort MK1 RS which I can cruise around in.
