I joined DBS Emirates Hills in 2020 and prior to this, I taught in a North London school for 8 years.

Mathematics has been a huge passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and I really enjoy developing an appreciation of Mathematics in all students. The only thing to eclipse my passion for Maths is the enjoyment I get from working with my students. Helping them achieve and surpass their educational goals is hugely rewarding, but the self-confidence my students develop throughout the year by tackling challenging problems and overcoming them is what I truly enjoy the most.

I’ve been a keen fan of basketball since my teenage years, playing in the national league in the UK at the U16 & U18 groups, and leading my university team in my final year through a very successful season. I’m also enjoy taking salsa lessons in my free time, and during the lockdown playing chess became a pleasurable pastime. Since moving to Dubai, I’ve enjoyed swimming on a regular basis. 

Best moment in teaching:

My best moment in teaching was when our first cohorts to experience the new (and more challenging) GCSE and A-Level specifications opened their exam results and were amazed with their results.
