My educational philosophy

I believe strongly in instilling the fundamental literacy and numeracy skills that young people need for a successful academic life and fruitful future. Along with these, critical thinking and other skills are essential for flourishing in a rapidly changing world. To achieve this, educators must understand their students’ prior knowledge and interests, delivering developmentally appropriate lessons that inspire students to expand their learning in ways they are ready for. As a lifelong bookworm, I am also passionate about sharing a love for literature with my students.

One interesting fact about me

Have travelled to ~28 countries and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean; am an avid reader and take a book with me everywhere I go; love being a dad.
