Being a teacher for almost twelve years, I have tried to stick to two principles: First, that it is crucial to cover material but it is more important to teach students skills. Secondly, that students learn skills best through interactive participation and having their abilities challenged.
I enjoy spending time with my family, learning foreign languages and travelling.
Working at ISM is great because there is a rich, diverse community of talented and outstanding students, turning my teaching career into a never-ending personal and professional development journey.
