At Questfield
I joined Questfield International College as a Form Tutor for Year 7 and a Humanities Teacher. Alongside teaching Humanities, I also help coordinate the Model United Nations (MUN) club, encouraging students to develop critical thinking, public speaking, and global awareness through collaborative and inquiry-based learning experiences.
My approach
My approach to teaching is focused on creating an engaging and supportive environment where students feel motivated to participate and grow. I believe in adapting my teaching methods to different learning styles and encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and continuous improvement.
Beyond the classroom
Outside school, I enjoy long-distance hiking, baking, literary translation, and reading science fiction and fantasy. I’m especially drawn to stories, languages, and places that help me see the world from a different perspective.
