At Questfield

My approach
In my classroom, learning is a mutual journey, where I often learn alongside my students. I’m not afraid to show my human side or admit mistakes, as this encourages pupils to take risks and refine their own work. I focus on guiding them to hit their targets through empathy, acceptance, and a strict no-bullying policy. Beyond the books, my students stay active through various extracurricular projects, trips, and school events. My guiding philosophy is simple: if a goal hasn’t been met, it’s just because “You are not there, YET!”
Beyond the classroom
Outside the classroom, I’ve spent the last three years discovering the rhythm of playing the drums, a passion that keeps me energised and recharged. I’m also an avid theatre-goer who loves catching plays with my family, and whether it’s summer or winter, you’ll usually find us staying active and enjoying a wide variety of sports. Over the past year, fate also proved that a lifelong dog lover can definitely be a cat lover, too!
