TEACHING EXPERIENCE - in 9 different countries

A/AS level – 9 years

IB Diploma – 19 years
I am now a retired teacher living in England, having taught Visual Arts to secondary school students from ages 11 to 19 in nine countries for 34 years, predominantly in international schools, with most notable lengths of service in the UK, following the acquisition of a BA Honours Fine Arts degree and subsequent teaching qualification, Cambodia and most recently Hong Kong.
These were punctuated by various experiences in the Caribbean, West, South and East Africa, the Middle East and southern China.
Opportunities in the UK at the outset of my career afforded me the opportunity to develop ‘A’ level modular courses and examine GCSE submissions.
A couple of overseas posts also incorporated examining IGCSE coursework, but the most rewarding experiences for gaining knowledge of international standards at all ages have been the decade-long positions of IB MYP moderator and IB Diploma visiting examiner, which involved travelling mainly to secondary schools in South East Asia.
Individual tutoring after school hours has also enabled students to gain extra perspectives on portfolio realised imagery and process journal externally examined submissions.
