Paul Beattie

I am a passionate and caring teacher who encourages students to build on, learn from and share their own learning experiences. I enjoy collaborating with other teachers, approaching lessons with innovation, flexibility and an open mind; always striving to instil a passion for learning and achievement in the students I work with. I believe that all students should be challenged, included and encouraged to have high expectations of themselves. I have a student-centred ethos to education and I advocate nurturing the whole child, to help create well-rounded, successful, competitive and respectful individuals. I have experience of working with various different curricula (IGCSE, IB, The International Primary Curriculum, The Scottish Curriculum for Excellence and The National Curriculum for England). I have also had the pleasure of leading various different sporting teams and I enjoy attending and competing at sporting fixtures with my teams. In my free time I enjoy watching football and keeping fit. Moving to Russia is something I am really looking forward to; I am passionate about travelling and I hope to discover as much of Russia as I can. I am excited to meet ISM's students, colleagues and parents.
