Metacognitive Teacher

With over 12 years of international teaching experience 🌏, I have had the privilege of working in diverse educational settings across England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Thailand 🇹🇭, and Japan 🇯🇵. This global journey has allowed me to effectively implement a variety of curricula, including the British National Curriculum, Common Core, and IB PYP, ensuring that I can meet the needs of diverse learners. 🎓Additionally, as a qualified Forest School leader 🌳, I integrate experiential, outdoor learning into my teaching approach, further enriching the educational experience. This combination of global exposure and specialized expertise enables me to create dynamic, inclusive, and innovative classrooms that inspire both students and fellow educators.

I believe teaching is about sparking curiosity and empowering students to take ownership of their learning. My approach centers on metacognition—helping students reflect on their thinking processes and become self-directed learners. I guide my students through inquiry-based lessons that tackle real-world issues, encouraging them to ask questions, explore diverse perspectives, and construct their own understanding. In my classroom, learning is a dynamic journey. I craft personalized resources and design new curricula tailored to the interests and needs of my students. By blending innovative teaching methods with relevant, hands-on content, I strive to create an environment where every learner is inspired to grow, think critically, and embrace the joy of discovery.
