At Questfield
I joined Questfield International College in 2023 as Head of Humanities, and I am now honoured to serve as Head of the Romanian line. In this role, I focus on strengthening the Romanian line while also increasing the school’s visibility through participation in national and international academic events and competitions.
My approach
I believe children learn best when they feel valued and safe, and when they are encouraged to ask questions and seek their own answers. In my lessons, we approach each topic through inquiry, exploring ideas together and building understanding step by step. At the same time, we remain focused on our key goals: learning from the past, developing critical thinking, and preparing confidently for exams.
Beyond the classroom
As a history teacher, I am also a coin collector.
