I am beginning my fourth year in Doha after working at an independent school in the North East of England.  I joined Madinat Khalifa as a Psychology and Additional Learning Needs teacher and took up my role as Assistant Head of Secondary (Student Development) during my second year.  The opportunity to begin and develop the Psychology department was one I could not turn down.

This is my fifth year at Madinat Khalifa teaching Maths and the fourth as head of Mathematics. Before that I was head of maths for sixteen years in a school in the UK and an examiner for the Oxford Cambridge and RSA board for over 20 years. Having spent the whole of my teaching career in the UK I decided it was time for a new challenge and better weather! Coming to MK was one of the best decisions I have made.

Richard Dook

After graduating from De Montfort University with a B.Ed Hons degree in PE, I taught in Suffolk in the UK for 12 years. During this time I worked as a Head of PE and Head of Year and these roles allowed me to develop my educational philosophies and tailor them to the students in my care. I believe strongly in a ‘Sport for All’ philosophy where all students are given opportunities to succeed and participate regardless of their ability. I want all my students to develop a love for PE in an environment where they are supported and nurtured and where they can express themselves freely to achieve their athletic, cognitive and leadership potential.

Throughout my teaching career in the UK I have had varied roles and responsibilities that I bring with me to Compass.  Having started my career in Cheshire, England I held responsibilities of Head of Department, Head of House and Head of Year.  The skills I acquired then enabled me to obtain an Assistant Head Position in Stoke on Trent.  I am looking forward to working at Compass International School and move with my wife and three children.
