I have been teaching for nearly 12 years , both as an English Language teacher and as a homeroom teacher. I first worked in South Korea and Japan with students of all ages, from 2 - 18. After realising that I particularly enjoyed teaching primary aged children, I returned to the UK to gain my PGCE in primary education from the University of Gloucestershire in 2019. Since then, I have been working as a primary homeroom teacher at international schools in Lithuania and Latvia. This experience means I have a good understanding of the needs of both students from the local area and from further afield.

I believe that a positive student-teacher relationship is the key to unlocking all children's potential. A student who likes their teacher and enjoys their lessons is a student who is constantly motivated to do their best. However, I also understand each student's best work is not the same, and that all children should be celebrated for their progress and achievements, and not to be compared to others.
