It is a great honour to be the new International Academic Director for BISU and an even greater honour to be helping with the care and nurturing of your children, tomorrow leaders and shapers.
I am a father of 3 children and grandfather, an author, a pilot, a coach of football, swimming, volleyball and athletics.
My wife is an artist with international exposure and a teacher of young children and young adults in the same countries as listed below.
I have been a teacher these past 26 years in the following countries of Oman, New Zealand, China and Morocco. I have worked in the positions of Head of Mathematics, CPD director and Deputy Principal.
I can summarise myself with the word ‘empowerment’. I firmly strive to empower those around me so they can, in turn, empower others. Whether those around me are my children, my students or my academic team.
The concept of truly working and engaging as a team is most prevalent now in Ukraine as the majority of the world unites around the common theme of empowering this fine country to not just restore itself but to be stronger going forward into the future.
This is my view of teaching a class of students as much as it is of working with a team of the professional adults we have at BISU as they strive to make the environment for your children a better place and an engaging space in which your children learn how to learn.
Helping all our precious students to meet challenges with confidence and enthusiasm is the true goal of this school and one I feel most passionate about.
I look forward to meeting all of you and of working with your children, our precious students, during this time and place in history as we all answer the call to help create tomorrow’s leaders and shapers.
