After completing my A-Levels, I travelled from my quintessential, suburban British boarding school, to become an assistant teacher at an International School in Malaysia. At the ripe old age of 18, I knew I was destined to teach abroad and that was where the adventures began. After returning to the UK and completing my English degree at the University of Gloucestershire, I immediately embarked on a TEFL course in Vietnam and spent several years teaching English across Asia and Europe. I made the decision to once again return to the UK to become a fully qualified secondary school teacher.
My time in the UK was short lived as I quickly returned to teaching internationally, only this time I moved to Marbella, in Spain. Here I taught my first IGCSE and IB Cohorts, solidifying my knowledge and experience for secondary school teaching. This then took me to Hong Kong for 2 years where again, international school teaching taught me so much: the specifications, texts, students and community not only added to my experience as a teacher, but also my growth as a person.
