Hello, my name is Sophie Stocks and I have been teaching at the British College of Brazil for a year now. As a child, I lived internationally in countries like France and The Netherlands where I attended international schools. We returned back to the United Kingdom during my teenage years however since I qualified as a teacher, I longed to be living internationally again. So here I am in Brasil!
I have been working at The British College of Brazil since it’s been open, in 2011. It is great to see how much the school has grown and developed throughout the years and how it still keeps its rich sense of community.
I can only describe myself as a Global Citizen! I was born in France to a Scottish mother and German father. I grew up in the International circuit, always learning from my many experiences in a variety of languages and cultures. After growing up and studying in Europe, I lived in Asia for almost 14 years and I am now excited to be living in Brazil where I hope to spend many more years. I am here with my son who also attends BCB and we are both trying hard to learn Portuguese.
I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to work within the family of Nord Anglia schools and enjoy keeping up to date with teaching and pedagogy skills with the broad range of courses that Nord Anglia University offer. I have been working at the British College of Brazil for almost seven years and feel very proud of what it has achieved and to have contributed to the growth of the school.
Studying Psychology at the University of the West of England in Bristol has been an invaluable tool as a teacher. It has given me an understanding of what motivates children, the process of how they learn and how to care for and support their social and emotional development. After completing my PGCE, I worked at a primary school in Bristol and gained my QTS before making the move to São Paulo in 2018.
From a very young age, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher! I’ve been extremely lucky to have had so many inspiring, international teachers too! I believe that every child has limitless potential. My aim for every child I teach is to provide them with multiple opportunities to grow into enthusiastic, ambitious, and lifelong learners.
Coming from a bilingual background and with an unrelated degree, I aim to bring fresh ideas to the table with personal interests including skiing and cooking to name a few.
After over four years of teaching, I have grown into a driven, multi-skilled and compassionate teacher, who constantly strives to improve my practice. I have visited Brazil many times and I have fallen in love with its vibrancy, culture, diversity and language. Therefore, the British College of Brazil is the ideal place to continue my career. I believe promoting learning behaviours and a growth mind-set has the greatest impact on children’s progress. Attitudes such as resilience, teamwork, independence and resourcefulness can motivate children to take responsibility for their own education and give them the self-belief to strive to reach their potential, no matter their starting point.
I studied Drama at university in Bristol, England. My course focussed on the practical elements of acting and directing, as well as reading and analysing plays from around the world. Although I am not able to apply what I learnt about Shakespeare in Year 1, I certainly draw upon elements of performance in the classroom every day!
Having visited and travelled across Brazil in 2017, I fell in love with the country, culture and its people. I was born and raised in London but I have also lived and taught children in New York and Beijing, where I developed a wealth of experience and knowledge that I am keen to build upon. Both proved to be rewarding and enjoyable experiences, where I was able to further develop my skills as a teacher; skills which I now look forward to bring with me to The British College of Brazil.
I am really happy to be teaching at BCB. It is a wonderful, happy community filled with incredibly talented children and teachers. I especially love how international it is. Being surrounded by people from all over the world is so beneficial for all of us: it creates a stimulating environment and open-minded, welcoming students. Being a Nord Anglia school gives our children and staff access to an even wider international community.
It is a joy to teach at BCB and be part of a community where family values and a love of learning are at the heart of what we do. Coming from bilingual schools in both China and Vietnam it is great once more to return to an International community. The different backgrounds and experiences of both our teachers, students and parents enriches our curriculum and what we have to offer.
Discover a great place to learn.
