Deputy Leader of World Languages
I have taught at the British International School of Houston since 2008. I have been teaching languages for over 25 years in various countries including; England, Venezuela and the US. After obtaining my BA Hons degree in Modern Languages and studying at the universities in Bordeaux, France and Granada, Spain, I completed my PGCE at Swansea University in Wales. During my teaching time in England I was responsible for the teaching and learning of Spanish across the school and for Differentiation throughout the Languages Department.
As well as teaching in the education system I have also taught EAL to business professionals in the Oil and Gas industry here in Houston. While living in Chicago I was very involved in the Home Schooling Programme and played a vital role in the local school district’s Strategic Planning Process.
Teacher of MFL
I am a French native speaker with a passion for languages. I studied English and American literature at university in Lyon, France. After graduating, I moved to Bristol, England, and did a teacher training course at Bristol University. I fell in love with England and lived there for the next 12 years. I taught Languages in schools in Bristol, Nottingham and Sherborne (Dorset). I took a year out in 2010 to teach French in the Alliance Française in Brisbane, Australia. There, I taught all ages, from four year olds to adults. It was a rewarding experience.
My husband and I moved to Houston in April 2014 so we are very new to life in the US. I have always loved teaching languages and I am very excited to be part of the British International School of Houston, where languages are so highly regarded. I think that bringing culture into the classroom is an integral part of language learning and an essential part of High Performance Learning. I feel privileged to teach in such a successful school.
Teacher of Physical Education
Originally from a small village in the Scottish Highlands, I moved to Edinburgh and graduated from Edinburgh University in 2014 with a B Ed in Physical Education. From university I moved straight into teaching and taught in Scotland for three years. I returned to my old school, Wick High School, where I worked as a PE teacher alongside several members of staff who used to be my own teachers when I was at school.
Teacher of World Languages
After finishing my Masters in Austrian and European Law, I started my career with the Austrian Financial Market Authority. Later, I became the Chief Legal Officer of the Austrian regulatory body for the railway market, working in Vienna and Brussels. When my husband accepted a job with a multinational oil & gas company, our then young family started an adventurous journey to several places, which eventually brought us to Houston six years ago.
Before coming to BISH I worked at a comprehensive school in South London where I had been teaching for four years. During my time there I lead and developed the Spanish curriculum, mentored students and trainee teachers and introduced a number of initiatives such as the Francovision song contest, various MFL spelling bees and a Korean language and culture club. I was also involved in implementing project based learning across the whole school which has allowed students to engage more with their learning and produce high quality products. I have relished the opportunity to be able to guide students to direct and perform a play, publish their own book, hold an art exhibition for the public and much more.
Having trained as a Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages at the University of Exeter, I completed my teacher training at two schools in Weymouth, Dorset, UK. I then took up a position as a German and French teacher at Winterbourne International Academy in Bristol, UK in 2011. Teaching French and German to GCSE Level, as well as German A-level courses, I really enjoyed running a ‘Mandarin club’ on the side. During my three years there, I specialized in teaching ‘Gifted and Talented’ students, the teaching of literacy and the development of the NVQ (national vocational qualifications) for languages.
Performing Arts Teacher
Living abroad, I have been able to explore fantastic places. I have traveled throughout Asia and South America, and I have seen wonderful sights and experienced incredible cultures.
