At Questfield
I joined Questfield International College in 2023 and have been a Primary Class Teacher ever since. My teaching approach focuses on educational methods that incorporate interactive activities and games, helping students learn in a safe, engaging, enjoyable, and comfortable environment. I place special emphasis on classroom management, guiding students in building healthy, respectful relationships with both teachers and peers, as well as developing routines and habits that foster independence, initiative, and a genuine curiosity for learning. I strive to educate children in a modern, real-world context, encouraging empathy and responsibility both toward the people around them and the planet they live on.
My approach
I believe that children learn most effectively when they feel connected to and inspired by their teacher. Creating a positive and supportive learning environment is essential for fostering curiosity, confidence, and a genuine enthusiasm for knowledge. My teaching approach is centred on interactive, creative, and innovative activities that transform learning into an engaging experience. Whether turning literature into theatrical performances, mathematics into investigative challenges, or science into imaginative explorations of space, I strive to help students learn naturally and enthusiastically, while encouraging active participation and critical thinking.
Beyond the classroom
When I’m not teaching, you will find me acting in theatre shows or films, writing theatre plays, playing ukulele, doing yoga or having long hikes in the mountains.
