Hi! My name is Rachel and I've been teaching for 18 years now!
My first teaching adventure involved traveling to Japan, where I worked for 2 years as an English language assistant in the beautiful fishing town of Kamae-cho. Eager for more adventure and travel, I then moved to Madrid, where I worked as a TEFL teacher for a year. Deciding to fully commit to a career in education I returned to the UK to complete my PGCE teaching qualification. I then worked for 3 years teaching French and Spanish at a school in Surrey. This was followed by 3 years teaching in a specialist languages school, also in Surrey. Ready for new adventures and with my partner in tow, I departed for the Middle East. I worked in an international school in sunny Dubai for 9 years and relished the challenge of leading the MFL faculty. I have now relocated to the UK and have a gorgeous new baby daughter - exciting times!

French Teaching Resources. Premiere Guerre Mondiale. World War 1/ Armistice.
I designed these activities to commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. These resources could also be used each year to commemorate the Armistice.

They were also studying themed lessons in History, English and Drama lessons on the topic of World War 1.

I worked in an international school in sunny Dubai for 9 years and relished the challenge of leading the MFL faculty. I have now relocated to the UK and have a gorgeous new baby daughter - exciting times!
Teaching style
I created a colourful and stimulating classroom, where I taught with energy and enthusiasm! I have a learning-centred approach and encouraged my students to be active learners. Differentiation is key in an international context and I worked hard to personalise the learning. I coupled games, songs and lively activities with assessment for learning strategies such as peer and self-assessment to encourage my students to be reflective learners.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I organised a yearly International Week, celebrating the languages, foods, costumes and traditions of the students and staff. A hi-light of this was the International Food Court and I loved seeing all the students in their national costumes experiencing new cuisine from around the world!
My own education history
I studied GCSE and A Levels at a school in Devon in the Southwest of England before going to university in Wales to study French and geography. Following three years in TEFL I returned the the UK to complete my PGCE.
Additional biographical information
My husband and I are keen foodies and I also enjoy yoga, pilates, aerobics, walking, international cinema, reading and traveling.
