Deputy Head of Secondary & Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages
BA (hons), PGCE
I am delighted to be joining BSG in August 2018 as the deputy head of secondary. I graduated from the University of Sheffield with a BA in French and Business Studies, followed by a brief period training as a chartered accountant. I quickly realised that accountancy was not for me, and that my true calling was in teaching, with the opportunity to inspire, shape and develop young minds. I subsequently completed my PGCE in French and German at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Assistant Head of Secondary (Sixth Form)
BSc, PGCE
I came in to teaching 13 years ago after a period of career sole searching. Prior to this I was an assistant project engineer for Exxon, refitting oil tankers. I was also heavily involved with thermodynamics for Corus in the manufacture of steel. Coming from an engineering background my approach is to relate mathematics to real life situations so that my students can see practical applications to what they learn.
Assistant Head of Secondary (Pastoral)
MA, PGCE
Believing that communicating with conviction and precision, as well as developing a love of literature, is integral to personal growth as well as academic success, teaching English has been my passion for the past 20 years. My experience is wide-ranging, from outstanding private and state schools in the United Kingdom to top-performing British schools situated in the deserts of Dubai and Bahrain.
Head of English
I began my teaching career ten years ago, via the Teach First programme in Birmingham, where I also completed my Masters in Educational Leadership, conducting action research into Gifted and Talented provision, as the school’s Aim Higher coordinator. I then moved to London, where I was a Leader of Learning, planning and delivering Initial Teacher Training for new teachers in the Croydon Hub. Since then, I’ve spent the last three years in a bright and colourful international setting, teaching in Thailand! Here, I was fortunate to work with wonderful students, developing my pastoral skills, as Head of Year 8 and then Year 9.
Head of Secondary Mathematics
I have been living in China for over 16 years now, and it is with great pleasure that I continue to work at BSG as head of Secondary Mathematics. Our mission for our students is simple: to be able to work out what to do when you don’t know what to do. This is mathematical problem solving at its heart. Rote learning and memorisation, whilst will get you that level 8 at GCSE, it won’t get you a 9. Whilst it will get you an A at A-Level, it won’t get you an A*. It is the core of our beliefs in the Mathematics Department, and serves our students well in their time at BSG, and in the future years to come.
Teacher of Mathematics
I read law at university and graduated in 2005. During my degree, I completed a short placement teaching Mathematics and thoroughly enjoyed it. Mathematics is a subject of immense beauty that also rewards effort and perseverance; I feel very privileged to be able to work with students in this subject day in and day out. I qualified as a teacher in 2007 and worked in schools across Manchester and Cumbria in the UK.
House Coordinator & Teacher of Mathematics
BA(hons), PGCE
After completing my Mathematics degree in 2002 I went on to train as a teacher. I have been qualified since 2003 and have worked in a number of schools and colleges in the Nottingham area of the UK. I have worked as a curriculum leader of Maths for the last 6 years, and love the fact that there is always more to learn.
I graduated with a degree in chemical engineering but my first job after graduating was working in a bank. Whilst still in the banking industry, I had a growing desire to do something that would improve the life chances of young people. In August 2005, I took the ‘leap of faith’ and moved from London to Birmingham to start my teacher training.
