Our Teachers
The quality, experience and commitment of your teacher is the single most important factor in the academic success of any student. We are proud to introduce our colleagues, all of whom are experienced, inspirational and proven in teaching the British curriculum.
Our native-English speaking teaching staff are recruited from leading schools around the world, and bring maturity and dynamism to the classroom. Most hold Masters or PhDs in Education and have, on average, 15+ years teaching experience.
With smaller class sizes, our students benefit from a highly individualised teaching approach, where each teacher has a firm knowledge of his or her student’s strengths and challenges. Our teachers have the support and resources they need to personalise their teaching to ensure that each student achieves their personal best.

Teaching Philosophy:
My Philosophy on teaching and learning is to aim to make learning exciting, fun, and motivating for all – as well as enhance teachers’ enthusiasm and passion for teaching. I like students to see learning as holistic and interwoven, which leads toward mastery and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
I encourage students to be exactly who they are, whatever their current interests or future aspirations. They will benefit from the warmth, respect, and support of the curriculum as they stretch themselves to become their best, most confident selves.
I like students to have the freedom to experiment, express opinions, explore and take on new challenges. To be supported by strong role models and be inspired by their peers. To find the confidence and be able to acquire and build the skills they need to succeed throughout their lives.
Pursuing Excellence. In addition to achieving academic success, I encourage pupils to commit to finding a deeper level of purpose that transforms into success. I aim to instil in each pupil the belief that they can achieve anything.

He is an experienced classroom teacher with 5 years of teaching in international primary schools in Beijing China.
Mr Lewis holds a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Linguistic from Manchester Metropolitan University and a Master of Education in Advancing Teaching from People’s University. His language studies have proven invaluable in China for helping children to develop their second language skills and in developing his Chinese language skills (HSK 5).
Teaching Philosophy:
I am what I expect from children, and therefore have the mindset of a learner, am open to try new things and question my methods in order to progress. I am passionate about what I want to do, and reflective on what I have done, to ensure that I am the example that children need. In education, it is important that children are given the chance to be creative and free, and I respect their interests and needs by creating a safe and stimulating learning environment which allows for this.
Teaching is an honour and a privilege, and as such I make sure I put everything into giving children the skills they need to thrive in their future world. Technology, communication and collaboration are at the heart of all my lessons, alongside my four ‘s’ values for being a key member of our school community and successful world citizen: be Safe, be Smart, be Sensitive and be Sustainable.

Teaching Philosophy:
For me, the purpose of education is to broaden a student and teachers’ horizons, especially in the younger years. Teaching different subjects with changing themes and updated curriculum is a wonderful thing to be able to share with others and improve my own perception of the world we live in. I feel that students learn best by example. Some of the most interesting lessons for me are student led with independent or team-based research happening as we progress through a topic. The most important aspects of teaching to me are teamwork and a positive attitude towards learning.

Teaching Philosophy:
I am a strong believer in making lessons engaging, interactive and fun as this goes a long way in capturing students’ attention and aiding in their overall learning. I love implementing a student-centered approach in class, as I think it’s a fantastic way to allow each student to become the master of their own learning. This approach to education gives me some great feedback on their progression while learning a little something myself.
