I’m an artist, photographer, gamer, and former art teacher. I’ve been teaching for over 10 years in Thailand, South Korea and here in the UK. Throughout these years I have been fortunate to work with a range of students coming from different backgrounds, cultures, abilities, and needs. I am experienced in supporting students with ASD, ADHD, PDA, anxiety, trauma, and other issues.
Taking a student-centred approach is important in teaching creative subjects like Art. I really enjoy working with children, helping them to find and explore their interests and passions and grow their confidence.
I have always enjoyed gaming since I was young and got a GameBoy and N64. Some of my favourite games include Spore, Civilisation, Halo, Sims, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and racing games. I also enjoy Warhammer 40k, tabletop wargaming and painting miniatures and making models.
My other hobbies and interests include filmmaking, sci-fi books and films, story writing, playing guitar, making music, travel, and cycling. I also enjoy linguistics and learning new languages; I can speak conversational Thai and a little Korean.
I am fully DBS checked and have up to date safeguarding training as a former teacher. I have received training in online safety, child protection, mental health issues, the autistic spectrum and PDA.
