At Questfield
I first joined Questfield International College in 2009, when the school operated under a different name, teaching English in KS1. In 2015, I moved to Germany, where I continued my teaching career for nine years, before returning to Questfield International College in 2024.
My approach
My approach combines decades of classroom experience with modern, health-conscious methodologies. Having spent nearly a decade teaching in Germany, I bring an international perspective that emphasises independence, linguistic fluency, and the physical wellbeing of every student. I am dedicated to creating inclusive, energetic, and structured learning environments where children thrive both academically and personally.
Beyond the classroom
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time outdoors. I am particularly fond of jogging and try to go for a run at least twice a week. Painting is another passion of mine and a wonderful way to unwind, and I always enjoy gifting my paintings to friends. As someone who loves the sea and sunny days, I spend most of my summer holidays by the beach, reading and enjoying a refreshing lemonade.
