 <\/p>\n

How many years have you been teaching?<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a primary school teacher for thirteen years. Before that, I was teaching English in South Korea for two years. So fifteen years in total.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why do you teach?<\/b><\/p>\n

There are many reasons why I teach. But essentially, I teach because it\u2019s a job that brings me great enjoyment. I love the vibrancy and liveliness of the classroom. It\u2019s a job where I get the privilege of becoming an important part of a child\u2019s life for that year and that\u2019s a responsibility that I cherish.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How would you describe the students at KIS?<\/b><\/p>\n

The children are fantastic. There is a clear sense of friendship and helpfulness throughout the whole school which is so lovely to experience. The children in my own class are a great example of this. They love to help each other and see each other do well. It\u2019s wonderful!\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is your favourite subject to teach and why?<\/b><\/p>\n

I love teaching ICT lessons and integrating technology into my classroom. Sometimes, adults are a little reluctant to embrace technology but children love it! Using computers and technology in school offers children a unique way in which to learn. It also gives them the ability to express themselves creatively in ways that weren\u2019t possible when I was at school!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How would you describe your teaching style?<\/b><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know whether I can accurately describe my teaching style. It probably changes from lesson to lesson. What I would say is that I like to have a relaxed classroom where my students can feel comfortable and at ease. I also like to have a classroom where there\u2019s noise and activity and bustle. As long as we\u2019re learning and enjoying the journey!\u00a0<\/span><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”11019,11022″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]How can parents best support their children in their studies?<\/b><\/p>\n

Reading. Never stop reading with your children. It\u2019s a wonderful way for you and your child to bond, learn and go on some epic adventures! Children adore being read to by their parents, or anyone for that matter so keep it up!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you could meet a famous person, who would you meet and why?<\/b><\/p>\n

Ohhh. I\u2019ve lots! But if I had to pick one right now, it\u2019d be Andrew Yang who I hope is going to be the next American President. He has a very different way of thinking about things. Every time I listen to him speak, I think \u201cthis guy could really change the world for the better.\u201d His campaign\u2019s acronym is M.A.T.H – Make America Think Harder! You should look him up. Oh, can I choose Elon Musk too?\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We heard that you are a foodie!\u00a0 What are your current favourite Malaysian food?<\/b><\/p>\n

I love a Laksa! Anything with noodles and spice. The chicken triangles from the canteen are awesome too! I\u2019d better go, I\u2019m getting hungry…<\/span><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
