Robert James Watkinson

Head of Modern Foreign Language| Spanish & French Teacher

Qualifications

Qualified Teacher Status (UK) with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and French. Over 10 years of teaching experience in UK state schools and international schools in Latin America and the Middle East.

At Questfield

The 2026–2027 academic year will be my first at Questfield International College, where I will be teaching French, Spanish, and English, as well as leading the Modern Foreign Language Department.

My approach

I believe that learning a new language is one of the best ways to enrich your life. I encourage my students to see that learning a new language is enjoyable, opens up new experiences, and gives them a practical skill for life. The aim is simple: that students enjoy learning, make good progress, and gain the confidence to use the language beyond school.

Beyond the classroom

When I’m not teaching, you can find me watching or playing sports as well as exploring Bucharest.
