I have always been interested in languages so after completing my BA in English and Russian, I decided to continue my studies which resulted in obtaining an MA in Linguistics from UCL. After working in a few different sectors, I started volunteering at a small primary school in London which led to me working there as a TA supporting students with special educational needs. Following this, in 2011, I completed a PGCE Primary course at Middlesex University and I have been teaching ever since. 

In my 10 years of teaching, I have experienced state, private and international schools in the UK, Slovakia and China. This enabled me to enjoy many exciting adventures, meet a variety of interesting, inspiring people and develop as a person and as an educator. 

I enjoy teaching and learning together with my students and believe that successful education should be based on mutual respect. In addition, I strive to promote the open-mindedness and tolerance that we so need in our global world.

About Mrs Harrison

In my free time, I enjoy keeping active and listening to music. I have taken part in many organised running events and like spending time outdoors. I also enjoy arts and crafts which is why I spend a lot of time on my classroom displays. However, most of my free time is spent exploring the world and learning new things with my two young daughters who keep me very busy and very entertained.

What the students say about me:

• Ms Harrison knows a lot about many things

• Ms Harrison is helpful and kind

• Ms Harrison likes a calm classroom
