After graduating from university, I taught for eight years in Melbourne, Australia. In search of adventure I headed to the UK, where I taught in London. London was an amazing place to work and live, until winter comes around. That is how I ended up here in Thailand. I spent the next six years working at an international school in Khao Yai, which is a beautiful place not far from Bangkok where the air is fresh, and there are lots of lovely waterfalls and golf courses. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, though in search of new experiences and to further develop professionally I am grateful to have the opportunity to join St Andrews International School Bangkok in 2014. Outside of work I enjoy spending time at the beach, playing golf, and have what my wife calls ‘an obsession’ with football (mainly of the Aussie Rules variety). I still run around from time to time with a team here in Bangkok where I am also president of my club. I also enjoy reading and listening to really good music. Since joining St Andrews I have been super impressed. The staff are all very dedicated and supportive, and the students are a delight to teach. It is truly a remarkable learning environment, and a community in which I happy to be a member. "Mr. Jarrod is a teacher who cares about his students. His explanations are easy to understand and the lessons are always interesting and informative.” “I have learned a lot from Mr. Jarrod, as he always ensures that we understand what we are learning by going around the room and helping us.”
