French and Theory of Knowledge
I attended La Sorbonne, University of Paris, where I received my teaching degree in French literature in addition to studying pedagogy, philosophy and psychology. I also attended the McNeese University in Louisiana where I took a course in “Philosophies of Education”. I taught French literature in Paris and later in Quebec, Canada. I then began teaching French as an additional language in countries around the world before arriving at BISW in 2003. As a world traveler myself, I like the fact that BISW represents such a diverse international community.

EAL Teacher
I have a Master’s degree in Japanese, a Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, and a Certificate in Teaching Special Needs. As well as the United States, I have lived and taught in New Zealand, Australia, Cambodia, Japan, the UK, Belgium, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.
Learning Support and EAL
I started my career as a primary teacher in west London, before venturing overseas. Since then I have had the opportunity to teach in British and American International Schools in the Emirates, Cameroon and Indonesia. My most recent post was in the Learning Support team at the British International School in Jakarta, where I worked for four years. I have also spent a number of years with the British Council, coordinating the Young Learner programme at their teaching centre in Tunis.
Head of Humanities and Social Sciences
I studied History and Politics at Oxford, graduating in 2010, followed by a PGCE in Citizenship Education at the University of London. I spent my NQT year teaching PSHCE and Politics in South Yorkshire, reasonably close to my native Halifax, before moving back to London to become Head of Politics in a large comprehensive faith school. I learned a lot during my time there, and particularly enjoyed my role supporting students through the UCAS process, but after four years I was looking for a new challenge and I have found it in BISW!

Teacher
Head of Years 7-8; Art
After attending University in Sunderland, I began my career as a Commercial Artist specialising in Illustration. My love of Art led me into a career in teaching which began in North Yorkshire where I taught Art and DT. Whilst teaching in London, I was able to additionally train as a primary school teacher so have enjoyed teaching across a wide range of age groups throughout my career.
