Tao

I am a highly experienced teacher who is passionate about language and literature. I have been an IB Examiner since 2008 and believe deeply in the importance of critical thinking and creativity in education. I have worked in schools in the UK, Portugal, and Greece both as a classroom teacher and a Head of Department. Drawing upon my vast experience, I create engaging and interesting lessons adapted to the unique needs of each learner. My patient and caring approach is particularly appreciated by my students. Alongside English, I have also taught IB TOK and Theatre Studies, and A Level Media Studies and Drama.

I hold a MA in Post Modern Literature and a Postgraduate Certificate of Education specialising in secondary level English. In my last role as Head of English, I was excited to develop the English Curriculum, combining best practices from British and American educational systems to create an engaging pre-IB secondary English Language and Literature curriculum. I am committed to education and deeply believe in the importance of continued professional development. I have attended multiple IBO workshops and, as an examiner, I remain up to date with IB matters. As a dynamic and flexible teacher, I enjoy the opportunity for exchange and growth that teaching provides for both student and teacher and am an expert at helping students improve academically.
