Meet the Teachers

I am very proud to have been the  headteacher of Hua Hin International School since our opening in 2015. We have had an amazing journey and the school continues to flourish.  We swiftly gained our  silver accreditation award in 2018 from the British EDT inspectors,  became  a Cambridge School and international  exam centre and now we are recognised as a  World IB School.  These have all been notable achievements along the way  but it is the enthusiasm, zest for learning and ‘spark’  of our students that lift my days.   The recent challenges of the global pandemic  have led to an even greater appreciation of the strong support and commitment to our school by staff, parents, Directors and the wider school community. 

My previous experiences include being a Headteacher both  internationally and in England.  I was also Assistant Dean and Principal Lecturer at Plymouth Marjon University. 

My qualifications include: Masters in Education, BA (Hons), PGCE, QTS, DIp Ed (Higher)  and the UK qualification for headteachers, NPQH. My teaching career has been across all age groups; I have taught nursery age, all ages at the Primary stage, English to secondary students and also  taught trainee teachers at the university.

My personal interests are centred around sport and being in the outdoors so obviously, Hua Hin is just a perfect place for me!  

I am delighted to be a part of HHIS team. I graduated from Burapha university with a Bachelor degree in  Education with Thai major.  I have almost 20 years teaching experience in Thai and International schools. 

These experiences have been important in the development of my teaching and leadership skills.  One of the roles I particularly enjoy is promoting close relationships with parents.

I am proud to say that our students are the strength of HHIS. I thoroughly enjoy my role as Head of Secondary working with all students in Year 7 – Year 13, helping to shape future opportunities for all our learners and families. I qualified from the University of Southampton with a Business and IT Degree and then completed my Masters in Education with Portsmouth University. I have enjoyed a wide range of experiences and highlights, but I can certainly say the achievements we have enjoyed as a team at HHIS have been my proudest. Our school continues to grow and I look forward to guiding and celebrating our students’ future successes both in the classroom and beyond. The pathway at HHIS is very exciting!

 I graduated from the University of Warwick with a history degree in 2008 and completed my teaching qualifications with Nottingham University. I have been teaching in Thailand since 2010 and have been fortunate enough to work with students aged 4-18 across a diverse range of subjects at HHIS. I am excited to continue sharing my passion for History with our IGCSE and IB students, as well as the core IB subjects ‘Theory of Knowledge’ and ‘Creativity, Activity, Service’.
Having taught many of our eldest students since they first joined the school, it fills me with immense pride to oversee the final leg of their journey with HHIS as IB Coordinator..

I graduated from The University of Brighton in 2016 with a BA Education Studies degree (Honours), and then completed the PGCE in primary education. After the 6 years of teaching that followed, I joined HHIS: drawn in by its child-centred approach, welcoming staff and – of course – the beauty of Hua Hin. Beyond school, my ideal day would begin with gruelling exercise, followed by reading a good book in the sun with some delicious Thai food. I’d then explore a new place not previously visited, and finish off the day with a video call to my family & friends back in England.

I am delighted to be leading the Early Years and Key Stage One phases.   My career in education began as a Nursery Nurse with 0-5 year olds and progressed to qualifying with QTS in Primary Education from Edge Hill University. I taught in the North-West of England in EY, Year 1 and 2,  and then my interest in travel and culture led me to Thailand. Having spent a decade leading in the Early Years at an International School in Bangkok, I have enjoyed being able to spend more time outside in Hua Hin’s natural environment with my young family. I am passionate about helping children to become independent, creative and inquisitive learners and I look forward to continuing to develop the curriculum and the environment.

I have been a qualified teacher since 2008 and hold a PGCE and BA Hons. Degree in Business. I have lived in Thailand and worked in international schools in Bangkok since 2012 having previously taught in a large sixth form college in the south of England. I enjoy outdoor pursuits such as hiking, rock climbing and kayaking and have shared this passion for the wilderness with students through the International Award’s ‘Adventurous Journey’. I also enjoy rugby and hope to support a Touch Rugby team here at HHIS.
I am an enthusiastic teacher who is passionate about supporting young people in their learning journey but also in their development as young, confident adults.

I started my teaching career in Thailand after finishing my Marine Biology degree at Aberystwyth University. I enjoyed the opportunity to teach English and Science from age 2 all the way up to age 18. I then returned to the UK to do a PGCE in secondary science. I taught all three sciences for 8 years in the UK at two fantastic secondary schools in Shrewsbury. I have now been teaching at HHIS for 3 years and thoroughly enjoy every aspect of the job. One aspect I have found particularly rewarding is helping to run the Eco club at school. We were very proud to have achieved the silver accreditation for Eco schools and are hoping the green flag will be ours soon. I love that my job allows me to share my passion for Science, I believe that hands on learning is the best approach and brings Science to life. My other passions are reading and running and bringing up my two wonderful children.

I have taught the National Curriculum for twenty years across a range of subjects. My qualifications include: Master of Education (Management), PGCE and BSc in Maths and Science.

At HHIS, I work to use the diversity of the Hua Hin area as an outdoor classroom to bring learning to life with the best opportunities for the students to engage with the Key Values of the school. This includes offering the opportunity for older students to participate in the International Award.

I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2019 with a degree in Biomedical Science, including a year working as an applications scientist in the chemical industry. During this time, I shared my passion for science through visiting schools as a STEM ambassador. Whilst teaching EAL at HHIS, I completed my teaching qualifications with the University of Derby and I am excited to begin my new role, where I can share the wonders of science, how it shapes our world and affects our lives every day. Alongside academia, I have always loved dance and music, performing the arts of ballet, tap, modern and jazz, and as well have gained my grade 8 cornet certification. I believe learning comes from a dynamic and innovative classroom environment and I look forward to inspiring our future scientists.

We give a warm welcome to Mr Pritpal who has just arrived in Hua Hin from London and will be joining Mr Rick on our Computing Team. Computer Science is really growing in popularity as an IGCSE and IB option. Mr Pritpal has a wealth of experience of working in industry and ten years of teaching in a London Academy and is very excited to be taking up his new post at our school.

My name is Rick Blakemore and I’m really looking forward to joining the HHIS team. I have a BSc (Hons) degree, PGCE (QTS) and extensive experience in teaching – the last five years as Head of Computing/ICT at a prominent International school in Bangkok and previous to that, as Director of ICT/Computing for 15 years in a school in Jersey, Channel Islands.  Prior to teaching, I was a professional Firefighter in South Yorkshire (UK) for fifteen years and a keen sports player and later, coach. I try my best to use past experiences to form communities within the classroom where students feel valued and connected, hopefully giving them fond memories to look back on as they get older. I enjoy riding British motorbikes, playing golf and getting off the beaten track looking for snakes. With this in mind, I am sure Hua Hin will be the perfect place.

I am excited to be a part of the HHIS team as of this year. I am an English teacher with five years of teaching experience across two, different age groups. After graduating in 2013 from the University of Lincoln with a BA in English & JournalismI have taught in the Further Education Sector and have recently been teaching  in a school in central Manchester.  I have supported the school with projects which aim to improve diversity within the school curriculum as well as developing younger pupils find their voice through the school’s oracy initiative. In addition to my teaching, I have also worked as an examiner for the last three years and have worked for the National Tutoring Programme back in the UK. I believe English is an amazing subject as it encompasses so much of human nature. The possibility to travel back in time or into a completely different world through people’s stories and experiences is something to be treasured by all age groups.

I am an English teacher with more than 19 years of experience of working in the UK across a variety of secondary, sixth form and FE college settings. In recent years I’ve been a Lead Practitioner and a Head of Department. Throughout my career I’ve diversified into teaching media studies, drama and theatre studies as well as leading on outdoor pursuits and the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. I love teaching English because I believe in the power of literature to evoke the imagination and challenge our understanding of humanity. I see it as so important in helping our young people to develop their own understanding of the world around them. Recently, I fulfilled an ambition to complete an MA, specialising in performance poetry and dystopian fiction. I write regularly and have had work published.

I am very excited at the opportunity to teach at Hua Hin International school. I graduated from the University of Winchester with a combined honours in English Literature and Drama, then completed my PGCE at the University of Portsmouth. I am excited to share my passion for English Literature and Language to a range of studies from different cultural backgrounds. 

In my opinion, teaching goes beyond the books and desks inside a classroom. I encourage my students to push past their comfort zones and challenge them to explore their perception of texts through a range of Drama techniques. 

Outside of the classroom, I am a huge sports fan – with a particular passion for rugby. I look forward to getting fully involved at HHIS.  

I am really excited to be part of the team at HHIS.  I previously taught mathematics at a Secondary School in London.   I am half Brazilian half German.  Eating Apfelstrudel while dancing Samba? Certainly! I like to think that I merge the easy going of a Brazilian with the efficiency of a German. Having a degree in Mechatronics Engineering and a PGCE in Secondary Mathematics from  the UK.   I am  delighted to continue having fun teaching Maths at HHIS. In my free time I enjoy doing, making music,  carpentry, origami, and playing football.  

I  am delighted to have joined  the HHIS team.  I previously taught in an International School in Bangkok and also taught for a number of years in the UK, taking on responsibility as Head of Maths.   I, myself was inspired at school by my maths teacher, Mr Wilson.  He  nurtured my love of Mathematics and now I seek to emulate this and inspire the students of  HHIS.
I understand Maths is not everyone’s favourite subject but I like to find innovative ways to teach my lessons in a fun enjoyable way, hoping to inspire others as I was inspired before.  

I have been teaching for almost 20 years, many of those in Thailand. I have taught a wide range of subjects to 5 year olds through to 16 year olds as well as being Principal of an international school in Bangkok. My qualifications include: MA Education, PGCE and BSc in Biological Science.
I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of  this successful and vibrant school and look forward to the further exciting developments that are ahead of us.

I have a real passion Humanities and Business and really enjoy sharing this with the inspirational students at HHIS. I graduated from Hertfordshire University in 2013 with a MSc in Environmental Management after previously undertaking a BSc (Hons) in Geography at Loughborough. After graduating from my master’s programme, I spent time working in higher education institutions both in the UK and abroad. In 2017 I decided to follow my passion for teaching. I completed my teaching qualifications with Sunderland University and have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of teaching since. I look forward to continuing this journey being a part of the continued successes of the students at Hua Hin International school.

I was born in the south of Spain but I relocated to complete my Higher Education studies in London, UK. Once I completed my BA Hons in Education Studies I continued studying a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages, with Spanish and French languages. I have since worked in a wide range of schools in the UK getting to inspire many students into speaking and loving foreign languages. One of my passions whilst teaching languages is to work with exciting International Projects, as a result I am a British Council and Eurodesk ambassador, connecting students from many different countries. My whole family are thrilled to be part of HHIS.

I have taught Mandarin and Chinese culture in British and international institutions, including the Vietnam National University Hanoi, the British School of Beijing China (Primary), Stockport Grammar School UK (Secondary) and the Manchester University Confucius Institute. I have enriched my study and practice with my BA in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language from Guangxi Normal University, China, and MA Educational Leadership from the University of Manchester, UK.I am thrilled by the opportunities presented to students by the diversity and inclusiveness at Hua Hin International School. I look forward to using my full potential as a Chinese language and culture teacher in this rich and fertile environment. Being a member of the HHIS school community I would love to see the students to be inspired and encouraged, through in-class and extra-curricular activities within and beyond the classroom, to be well-rounded in their learning. 

I graduated from Hull University with a BMus (Bachelor of Music) in 2006 and immediately went on to complete my PGCE at The University of Reading in 2007.  Since then I have taught in the UK, Malaysia, Jordan and Vietnam.  I am excited to move to HHIS and am really looking forward to meeting my new students and being part of the HHIS community.  

I am passionate about Music, particularly singing,  and believe it to be vital for a well rounded education.  I look forward to meeting the young musicians at HHIS and working with them.

I am very much looking forward to sampling lots of delicious Thai food but may well have to build up my spice tolerance!

I am excited to be joining HHIS as a Teacher of Physical Education and Swimming. For the past 10 years I have been teaching Early Years through to Sixth Form at Shrewsbury International School, Bangkok. My role included Performance Leader of Football and for the past three years I have been Year Team Leader for Years 7, 8 and 9. In Addition to football I have a wide variety of sporting interests including tennis, cycling and golf. I have a keen interest in these both personally and as a teacher, supporting golf ECA in my current setting. I have a degree in Sports Studies from Edge Hill University and gained my teaching qualification after working in the Special Educational Needs department at a Senior School in the North West of England. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping active, and as a father of two young boys, I am enjoying exploring all that  Hua Hin has to offer for family adventures. 

My journey has taken me from sleepy Devon in England to beautiful Thailand where I have been teaching in Rayong since 2013. I have a BA Hons  in Sport Psychology and iPGCE from the University of East London. Whether playing or watching, my spare time usually revolves around sport.   I play as goalkeeper for Pattaya City FC and I enjoy playing basketball whenever I can. I love to share my own passion for sport with students and help them discover all the exciting opportunities it can lead to. In my time at St Andrews Green Valley I’ve seen how sport can bring the school community together and I’m excited to be a part of this at Hua Hin International School. 

I’m delighted to be joining the art department at HHIS. My journey to Thailand began in rural Sweden, where I was brought up and acquired my love of art and nature. From Sweden I moved to London to study, completing both a degree in Fine Art and a PGCE in Art and Design. Since then I have taught in London, Shanghai and Hong Kong – three amazing cities with very diverse and rich cultures. 

I’m looking forward to sharing my years of experience and knowledge of art with the students at HHIS. I believe that art is not only about acquiring new skills and processes, but also encourages creativity, critical thinking and an understanding and empathy for other people, cultures and beliefs. 

In my spare time I continue my own art practice. I also love being outdoors, especially hiking, free-diving and yoga.

It has been a pleasure to watch HHIS grow since joining in 2017 and also grow myself as an educator! As Art Specialist, I have lead and taught art across the whole school, developing the art department to flourish into an exciting, creative space for children to explore their artistic side. I studied BA (Hons) Art History/Art Philosophy before getting my PGCE in London. Outside of the classroom, I work on creative projects, primarily as an illustrator. Supporting wellbeing is central to my role, I have trained in art therapy, mental health foundation and am a 200hr certified yoga teacher. My classroom is a nurturing, expressive and fun space where young people can explore self awareness, develop their artistic skills and understand the place of art in society.

I graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 2016 with a BSc Psychology degree (Honours), and after completed a PGCE in primary education. Prior to joining HHIS, I taught in a school on the outskirts of Sheffield. During my time teaching in the UK I saw the value of developing a classroom environment and ethos where children can express their thoughts and ideas freely. Through this, I have seen children progress well in their learning and social development, enjoy their school experience and develop a ‘can do’ approach to new challenges. Outside of school, I enjoy engaging in outdoor pursuits and most sports.

I am an enthusiastic and passionate teacher with experience across international schools and private schools in the UK. Since completing my Post Graduate Certificate in Education at Southampton University in 2012, I have worked across all of Key Stage Two year groups and believe all children can achieve beyond their own expectations. Outside of school, I am a keen sportsman, including playing cricket, football and taking part in various middle, and long distance running events.

I completed my teaching degree at Edge Hill University in the North West of England in 2003. I then taught in a primary school in Liverpool before moving to Spain, where I worked in an international school for 10 years.

I am proud to have been part of the growth and development of HHIS over the past few years and am looking forward to continuing that journey. I value the child-oriented ethos of HHIS and particularly enjoy the warm and vibrant atmosphere of the school.

I graduated from The University of Warwick with a BA (QTS) Science degree, in 2005. Since then, I have taught in a number of schools across the world including the Dominican Republic and Sri Lanka. I am a passionate, energetic teacher, who thrives in the classroom. I very much enjoy providing interactive, lively and engaging lessons, where the children not only learn, but also have a lot of fun!
I am thrilled to be part of Hua Hin International School and love teaching here, as I feel I continue to make a positive contribution to such a forward thinking, child-centred school, as it continues to grow and develop.

I completed my Psychology degree at the University of Southampton and went on to gain my PGCE.  I have since taught in a variety of school settings in the UK and Malaysia.  I am an energetic, positive and passionate teacher. I enjoy encouraging children to really challenge themselves and realise that there is nothing out of their reach if they really want to  achieve it.   Outside of school, I love to travel,  keep fit with various sporting pursuits and also dabble with a bit of abstract painting in between. I am so thrilled to be joining the team at Hua Hin School.

I graduated from Marjon, Plymouth in 2009 with B. Ed. First Class Honours in Primary Education. After a year in Plymouth, teaching mature students with learning difficulties, I moved to Kent to teach at a small village school where I taught both key stages over a period of 10 years. As I have a passion for mathematics, I am enjoying being   the maths subject leader at HHIS. Outside of the classroom I will have a go at anything and have led a number of extra-curricular activities including gymnastics, volleyball, ICT and art club. I am thrilled to be part of the  HHIS team.

I am delighted to be part of the  the KS2 team and am passionate to  inspire the minds of the young people in my class.  Since joining HHIS as Learning Support Teacher in 2018, I have completed an iPGCE and a Masters in International Education, both through Sunderland University, UK.  I am passionate about inclusivity and will continue to be involved with Learning Support throughout the school with the belief that all children can reach their goals no matter what challenges they face. My previous experience in teaching was as an EAL teacher at an International School in China, where I was inspired to realise my lifelong dream, to work with children. 

My career in education began in 2016, when I gained a PGCE at Bangor University. I have taught in the beautiful, mountainous areas of North Wales UK ever since. As a teacher, I am always looking for innovative ways to spark the children’s curiosity and ignite their imagination. I have a background in Fine Art and Performing Arts, which I quite often bring into the classroom. The use of drama provides a fun and purposeful learning environment where the children are excited to learn and eager to ask questions. I believe that each child holds a unique magic within, and I am very excited about supporting the children of HHIS to uncover theirs.

I joined Hua Hin International School community in January and feel so lucky to be a part of this ‘family’. I am thoroughly enjoying the learning environment and teaching and learning at HHIS, not to mention of course the wonderful students who manage to bring many a smiles each day.  I feel very fortunate to work as part of such a fun, professional and driven team in the EYFS/KS1 area.  I gained my post-graduate teaching qualifications in South Africa  and have experience of teaching in British Curriculum International schools across the world, including Egypt, Bulgaria, Puerto Rico, Italy, Turkey, and recently Malaysia.

As a teacher, I am inspired by my hero: the mole. When asked what he thought was the biggest waste of time, Mole said, “comparing yourself with others.” I believe that learning is about being curious, embracing challenge, taking responsibility for your own growth and absolutely having fun.

Outside of the classroom, I am all about family and making sure every day has something good about it, no matter how small. I have 2 children in university in Holland.  We have a  sailing boat that my husband sailed from Croatia and we look forward to exploring the gorgeous areas around here both on land and at sea.

I graduated from the University of Brighton in 2017 with a PGCE in Primary Education. Prior to joining HHIS, I had worked in both KS1 and KS2 in schools in Brighton, London and Qatar. I believe it is important to have an open, fun and active classroom. I think it is important to let children lead their own learning through questioning and exploration. Beyond the school gates, I love to stay active through yoga, running and swimming. I enjoy exploring new places and learning about different cultures whilst hunting for exciting, tasty food to try.   

I have over 30 years of experience teaching and working with children and young people in the UK, Jersey and Thailand. My most recent post was as the Lead Nursery Teacher at an International School in Bangkok.During my career I have worked with, and supported a broad range of age groups and abilities. These have included Pre-school and Primary aged children as well as Secondary and University students. This has given me an in-depth understanding and admiration of the art of learning, across different stages of development. That said, my particular passion has always been with the Early Years and I am an advocate for promoting children’s rights, which includes their right to play!I am also a great believer in the concept of lifelong learning which is evident in my own educational journey. I have a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies, which was subsequently followed by an MA and then Doctorate in Early Childhood Education, with the University of Sheffield in 2017. My hobbies include swimming, travelling and exploring new places/cultures and food.  I also love  spending time with our two grown children (twin girls)

I am Ms Maddy and I am originally from Penang, Malaysia. I am delighted to join the KS1 and Music department of HHIS. I graduated from University of London with a degree in Law and then went on to do a Diploma in the Teaching of Violin at London College of Music. I am a kindergarten and primary school teacher with eleven years of experience managing classrooms of curious learners from diverse nationalities and age groups in various international schools. 

As a teacher, I am passionate to see my students grow and achieve their fullest potential. I bring strong communication skills and a creative approach to engaging students. 

My passions include staging drama and musical theatre plays. I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, snorkelling and cooking.

After gaining my BA (Hons) in Primary Education with QTS in 2003, I worked for 4 years in the north of England before moving to a large international school in Spain where I taught for 9 years. I am now excited to join the languages department and look forward to introducing the children in KS2 to beginners’ Spanish, in a fun and interactive way. I am also excited about working with the children in their PSHE lessons, encouraging them to make good lifestyle choices based on our I Values.

I am delighted to be a part of this ever-growing school and I look forward to another exciting year ahead!

I love adventure. I have taken part in a range of adventure sports around Thailand and Southeast Asia, which include rock climbing, canyoneering, snorkeling and mountain biking.

 I love spending time with my daughter, listening  to music and exploring  new places. I enjoy learning new skills and challenging myself, for example when I ran the north face 100km and had to  learn how to run trail in the dark. I will continue to learn new skills in Hua Hin, and enjoy lots of water sports!

I joined HHIS as a Teaching Assistant and with a BSc in Engineering and TEFL certificate, I supported many disciplines throughout the Key Stages. I have completed my PGCEi from the University of Nottingham and I am currently enrolled with Chulalongkorn University in intensive Thai. I also look forward to continuing my studies with a MA in Library and Information Services Management at the University of Sheffield, which will enhance my goal in inspiring our students to become ‘lifelong readers’.

I am very happy to be joining the growing library team at Hua Hin International School. I have a B.A. and B.Ed. as well as 15 years of experience working in UK curriculum schools, including HHIS! I love books and hope to develop and enhance a love of reading as well as encourage access to Asian literature for the students.

I am Bonnie from Taiwan. I graduated with a BA degree in Chinese literature. I have eight years teaching experience in Taiwan and have taught Mandarin for six  years at Hua Hin International School. I believe that students learn the best when it’s fun for them to do so! Therefore, I continue to discover and devise new methods and content to ensure that students always get the best learning experience in my enthusiastic, dynamic and engaged  Mandarin class.

My teaching style is varied and I like to make my lessons fun for the students. I really enjoy seeing the students’ progress. I will ensure that my students improve their Thai while having fun everyday!

I am delighted to be a part of the team at Hua Hin International School. I graduated from Suan Dusit University with a teacher’s Bachelor degree of Education in 2003 and have now more than ten years of experience working in education in several international schools in Bangkok. I taught Thai language to both native Thai speakers as well as foreign children in the British School of Bangkok for seven years. After that, I was a part of the teaching team at St.Andrews International School Sathorn, working alongside both Thai and international staff, who used a wide variety of engaging and effective teaching and learning techniques. 

I believe that learning should be fun, creative and inspiring. This motivates students to share their learning with others and use their new knowledge in their daily life.

I graduated with a B.Ed. from Chulalongkorn University and I am now pursuing my M.A. at Thammasat University. My teaching career started back in the year 2012-2014 as a German Language teacher in Chitralada school. Then I decided to travel the world and worked for an international airline, where I enjoyed experiencing all different cultures around the globe. After returning home, I started the career that I love again as an ESL teacher at an International School.  Since I relocated to Hua Hin, I know that the best place for me would be here at HHIS. I enjoy my role here as a Thai teacher and am very happy to teach my own language to our international students.

Sawasdee ka, my name is Ying and it’s my pleasure to join the team of Thai teachers at HHIS. After I graduated from Chulalongkorn University with Bachelor and Master degree in Early Childhood Education, the passion in teaching and working with children led me to complete the Doctorate degree in Educational Studies in 2012. I have worked in international schools in Bangkok for almost 20 years, both in the British and American curriculum. I love to spend time with children and support their growth in all areas. I believe that learning is the process of working together to achieve the goals so working closely with children and helping them achieve their goals step by step is always delighted me.

I am delighted to be joining Hua Hin International School as a Learning Support Teacher. I graduated from the University of Aberdeen in June 2018 with a MA Hons in Economics and Finance and attained a TEFL certification this year. My role as a Learning Support Teacher will allow me to assist with the children’s development and enable them to increase their knowledge to better access their subject lessons. I am very excited to take on this new challenge and support the children to attain their goals and aspirations.  Prior to joining HHIS, I worked within the financial services industry for four years, most recently working at BlackRock in Edinburgh, Scotland. The highlight of my prior roles was the joy I received from delivering training sessions to colleagues and school interns. I saw their sense of achievement and happiness after learning something new. Ultimately, this led me to make the career change from finance to teaching. 

After graduating  from Mahidol University, I travelled the world, worked in several different posts for many international companies, but  realised that to me there is nothing more rewarding than a teaching job. I fell in love with teaching many years ago and started my full-time teaching role in 2014.  Apart from a certificate of teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL), I am also pursuing my second master degree in education. I also believe that teaching is a combination of art and science which varies for each learner. That is one of reasons why I am so passionate about teaching, it is intriguing.  With my passion and years of teaching and tutoring experience, I am thrilled to be in a teaching team at HHIS where I can promote a stimulating positive learning environment for learners.

Am super excited to be joining HHIS in the new role as a Wellbeing Co-ordinator this year. I graduated From The University of Plymouth in 2000, working as a Visual Arts teacher and Head of Art for over 20 years in the UK, Germany, Dubai and Thailand. 

During my teaching career, I have always been enthusiastic and passionate about the wellbeing of students in my care. 

I respect and understand that the developmental, emotional, social and educational issues affecting young people and their learning journey is of primary importance. This prompted me to gain experience and qualifications in a range of wellbeing modalities including Personal training, Sports Therapy, Clean Language Therapy, Japanese Integrated Medicine and recently, Person centred Counselling.  

I am delighted to share my skills and experience to support and inspire others to put their wellbeing back on track and facilitate positive change. 

I am delighted to be joining the HHIS team in 2022. I graduate from Leeds Beckett University with a degree in law in 2020. I then went on to complete a Master or Laws, Legal Practice Course. Although I come from a legal background, I have always had a fervent passion and interest in science. Throughout my time studying, I volunteered many times at schools in the UK and I very much look forward to being back in the classroom environment grow and helping the students of HHIS grow. In my free time, I love to play team sports, particularly football and rugby.
