Educator with five years of progressive classroom experience at Verita International School Athens, one of Greece's established British-curriculum international schools. I have worked across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, taking on independent responsibility for curriculum planning, mathematics instruction, guided reading, and social-emotional learning, progressing from Teaching Assistant to Co-Teacher while completing postgraduate qualifications in education. I hold an iPGCE from Bishop Grosseteste University and a Master's in International Education at Lincoln Bishop University. My academic focus sits at the intersection of international curriculum frameworks and inclusive pedagogy, which maps directly onto the practical challenges of teaching in multilingual, multicultural primary classrooms. My background is cross-disciplinary. A Licence Arts Plastiques from Université Bordeaux Montaigne, with a specialisation in Illustration, gives me a visual literacy and design-thinking perspective that I bring into project-based and IPC unit work. I believe primary education is where the relationship with learning is formed, and I take that seriously. Curricula I have worked with: British National Curriculum, International Primary Curriculum (IPC), White Rose Maths, The Literacy Tree, Guided Reading, and the Emory University SEL framework. Languages: Greek (native), English (proficiency), French (C2).
