Our Team

Professional Background and Experience

I worked in the United States for five years as a special education teacher and for four years as a middle and high school mathematics teacher. During this time, I had the opportunity to work with students from diverse backgrounds and cultures. These experiences helped me become a more flexible, empathetic, and student-centered educator, reinforcing my belief in the importance of creating a supportive environment where every student feels valued and encouraged to grow.

What matters to you as an educator?

As an educator, what matters most to me is making every student feel heard, valued, and respected. I firmly believe that when students feel comfortable and supported, they are more willing to ask questions, make mistakes, and actively engage in their learning journey. Creating a safe and welcoming environment where every student feels a sense of belonging is a core value I hold deeply as a teacher.

Professional Background and Experience

Over the past 10 years, I have taught A Level Mathematics, Further A Level Mathematics, and IB Diploma Mathematics in private schools across the UK.

What matters to you as an educator?

The interaction with students and the opportunity to guide them on their learning journey in the subject.

Professional Background and Experience

STEM Educator and software engineering professional with a Master’s Degree in Physics from Moscow State University. I have experience teaching Advanced Physics and Computer Science to talented students and preparing them for Olympiad-level competitions. I have worked as a Senior Software Developer and Tech Lead with industry experience, including projects for clients such as SpaceX. As an International Physics Olympiad Gold Medalist, I am deeply passionate about helping talented students develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

What matters to you as an educator?

What matters most to me as an educator is helping students develop a genuine understanding of the subject, rather than simply memorizing facts or techniques. I deeply value curiosity, clarity of thought, and self-confidence, and I strive to create an environment where students feel supported while being challenged to grow.

Professional Background and Experience

My professional journey spans over 14 years in education across Singapore, Spain, and Italy, ranging from primary school teaching and ESL instruction to roles as a school librarian, curriculum coordinator, educational technology specialist, and international school educator.

I began my career in Singapore, working within the Ministry of Education as a primary school educator, then as an ESL teacher, before expanding my expertise into information and library literacy. Subsequently, I worked as a K–12 teacher-librarian in an IB school in Singapore, supporting students and teachers in developing information and digital literacy, research skills, and a passion for reading. These experiences were particularly formative in shaping my belief that students learn best when provided with meaningful opportunities to inquire, explore, collaborate, and take ownership of their learning.

My academic background bridges education and technology, with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Engineering and a Master of Science in Information Studies from Nanyang Technological University, alongside a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Primary) and a CELTA certification. This combination has enabled me to merge strong pedagogical practice, language and literacy development, technology integration, and a deep understanding of how children access, evaluate, and communicate information.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience with primary school students and within international school environments, teaching and supporting young learners through inquiry-based learning and language development.

What matters to you as an educator?

What matters most to me as an educator is that every child feels seen, valued, and empowered. I believe that a strong sense of belonging is the foundation for meaningful learning, and I strive to create an environment where my students feel safe to be curious, ask questions, make mistakes, and share their ideas.

For me, helping children become confident, independent learners who are not afraid to inquire, explore, and think differently is paramount. I believe learning should encourage children to make connections, develop their own ideas, and understand that their choices and actions can impact others and the world around them.

My experience across teaching, literacy, information studies, and technology has also taught me the importance of preparing children not merely to “know things,” but to know how to learn, how to inquire, how to seek out and evaluate information, and how to use their knowledge responsibly.

Ultimately, what matters to me is raising children who are curious about the world, kind to others, confident in their own voice, and eager to play an active role in shaping the world around them.

Professional Background and Experience

I have been a passionate educator for around 10 years. Prior to joining H-FARM International School as a teacher, I worked as an Assistant Professor at DCU Business School and Trinity Business School in Ireland, lecturing and conducting research in Global Business Management and Strategy, Cross-Cultural Management, People Analytics, and Human Resource Management.

What matters to you as an educator?

As teachers, we have a unique opportunity to leave a meaningful and lasting impact on our students. What matters to me is seeing my students grow in confidence, resilience, and self-discipline as they navigate new experiences throughout the year. Just as important to me, however, is helping to positively guide the growth and mindset of each individual. The Quaker expression “let your life speak” captures the importance of encouraging students to discover who they are, develop their own values, and become the best version of themselves through the way they live and interact with the world.

Professional Background and Experience

I have been teaching in the IB program for over a decade in schools across Germany, England, and Switzerland. Prior to that, I lectured at the university level.

What matters to you as an educator?

Being a good listener is fundamental, both for teachers and for students. What is the person in front of me really saying? Once this is truly understood, a relationship of trust is established, and learning can truly begin.

Professional Background and Experience

I hold a degree in Pedagogy along with postgraduate studies in Special and Inclusive Education, Autism, and Literacy. I have experience working with children of various ages and with diverse needs, both in educational and support roles. I am deeply passionate about helping children learn, develop, and feel included.

What matters to you as an educator?

What matters most to me is creating a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment where every child feels valued and supported. I also believe that good communication and teamwork are essential.

Professional Background and Experience

I have an academic background in Language Sciences, holding a Master’s Degree from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice with a focus on modern language pedagogy, second language acquisition, and the psychological aspects of language education. I also hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Languages and Culture, specializing in Russian, and further deepened my language studies and intercultural skills through a study period at Saint Petersburg State University.

I hold the CEDILS certification for teaching Italian as a Second Language and have experience teaching both Italian and Russian to students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. I have taught Italian as a Second Language to international students at H-FARM College, where I combined my teaching with a role in the Admissions team—working closely with students, families, and partner institutions, as well as coordinating the Student Ambassador Program. This experience gave me firsthand insight into multicultural learning environments, student needs, and what it takes to build a welcoming and inclusive learning space.

What matters to you as an educator?

What matters most to me as an educator is cultivating resilience and curiosity in my students, helping them realize that mistakes are an integral part of the growth process. I strive to create an environment where students feel free to experiment without the fear of making mistakes.

I care deeply about recognizing each student’s uniqueness—respecting individual paces and personal backgrounds while ensuring that every student feels seen and included.
