Rebecca is passionate about creating a classroom environment where learning is driven by children's natural curiosity. She believes the best learning happens when it begins with the children’s own questions and interests. By providing hands-on, experience-based activities, she nurtures their curiosity, encouraging them to explore, investigate, and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.
Central to Rebecca’s teaching philosophy is her commitment to ensuring that every child feels happy, safe, comfortable, and confident in her classroom. She places great importance on building strong, trusting relationships with her students and their families, recognising that meaningful partnerships between home and school are key to helping children thrive.
Rebecca graduated from King’s College London with an MSc in Global Environmental Change. She enjoyed a successful career as a Senior Environmental Advisor before taking time to raise her two young children. Inspired by her experiences as a parent and her passion for education, she went on to complete a PGCE in Primary Teaching at the University of Sunderland and has been teaching at Dover Court for five years.
With a strong personal interest in the environment and sustainability, Rebecca brings this enthusiasm into her teaching. She sees every day as an opportunity to inspire love and respect for nature, helping children become thoughtful, compassionate stewards of the planet and more considerate of others.
Originally from Cornwall, UK, Rebecca grew up exploring its countryside and coastline. After studying and working in London, she moved to Singapore with her family in 2017. Outside the classroom, she enjoys discovering new experiences with her partner and two children, especially seeing the world through their eyes. Her favourite places in Singapore are its rainforests and nature reserves, which continue to feed her love of the natural world.
