My Philosophy for Teaching and Learning:I believe children learn best when they are provided with a high quality learning environment that stimulates them to think creatively and allows them to plan, organise and prioritise how they can solve problems within relevant first hand learning experiences. The children are given stimulating and interesting contexts in which to learn which include opportunities to learn outside the classroom.

Work History:The Pearling Season International School is a new start school located in the centre of Doha, Qatar. The school aims to serve the local and international expat community by following the International Primary and International Middle Years Curriculum. The school is about to enter into its third year of operation with the introduction of Year 10 in Secondary while implementing an ambitious construction programme which will allow the school to realise its ambition of become an all through school from ages 3-18.
