I have recently arrived into Moscow and have fallen in love with the city. With such a wide number of interesting activities to explore and experience, it never ceases to amaze me. Since arriving in Moscow I have joined the Moscow international choir and will soon be travelling to Sochi to complete in the World Choir Games 2016.

I’m excited at the prospect of working with the wonderful team and community at EIS East this year. Prior to Moscow, I spent the 3 years teaching in a British international school in Spain where I became the Key Stage 2 Coordinator. I have been teaching for over 6 years now, including in the UK and will use all of these experiences to tailor my teaching to needs of the children in my EIS East class.

Whilst completing my degree in marine biology, I qualified as a scuba diver. This has taken me to some incredible places around the world and I look forward to my next underwater adventure. I’m a big film fan and find reading is the perfect way to relax at the end of the day.

I am a UK qualified teacher who was born in Slovakia. I graduated as a teacher specializing in Early Years from Kingston University in London. Before coming to Moscow I worked in a London preschool for seven years. This will be my fourth year in EIS Moscow West. I have attended COBIS (Council of British International Schools) professional development seminars, Orff Music training in the UK and Reggio Emilia training (for pre-schoolers) in Italy. I enjoy travelling, reading and listening to music.

A native New Zealander (Kiwi), I discovered my passion for teaching at a very young age while helping out with my mother’s ballet school. From that time onwards, I always knew that I wanted to teach and took continuous steps towards that goal. At the age of 15, I started teaching ballet, jazz, and drama, which lead to me opening my own musical theatre company in my twenties. During this time I was also completing my Bachelor of Education at the University of Auckland, and then teaching primary school full time. My twenties were a very busy and exciting time! After teaching in a public primary school in Auckland for 6 years, I decided to pursue my love of travel and move to North Carolina, in the United States. I have enjoyed my time teaching 3rd Grade in the States, as well as adapting to a new culture and way of life. I have also loved the travel – having visited 27 States, Canada, Mexico, and various Caribbean Islands in my 4 years! I have been fascinated by the Russian language, culture, and history since I was an early teenager and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to experience it first hand. I cannot wait to get started on our learning adventure!

Over the past 20 years I have worked in international and UK schools, both in management, administration and in the classroom. This year I am happily taking on the role of Year 5 tutor and working alongside the primary department supporting pupils who require EAL assistance. It is a wonderful to see the amazing progress the children make and I thoroughly enjoy my work here. The children are truly a joy to be with!

I have been fortunate to travel to and live in many different countries and enjoy working in an international environment. Previously I have lived and worked in China and Nigeria, UK and Hong Kong. Moscow is a great place to live and everyone has been very welcoming. Over the past year I have been exploring this fascinating city. As a parent I understand how important it is for a child to be in a safe and supportive school environment. As a tutor my role is to ensure the children in my class are challenged both in and outside of the classroom so that they can be the best they can be.

I am John Twaddle, the Year 6 Form Tutor at EIS East. I am originally from the UK, where I gained a degree in International Relations at the University of St Andrews before completing a PGCE in Plymouth. I have been teaching for 7 years, working mainly in the independent school system in the UK. I recently made the switch to international schools, where I gained experience teaching a Year 6 class in Uzbekistan before taking up my post here in Moscow for the 2017-18 academic year.

Now in my second year at EIS, I love the family atmosphere at our school; it really is a special place. Outside of school I enjoy taking part in sports such as football, golf and skiing. I am also trying to learn Russian, which is easier said than done!

I am a Humanities teacher with extensive experience, having taught in Vietnam, Malaysia and the UK. After leaving university I spent over three years as an ESL teacher in Ho Chi Minh City before returning to the UK to complete a PGCE in Social Sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University. I then spent two years teaching in London before moving to the Prince of Wales Island International School in Penang, Malaysia. I am in my second year at EIS Moscow having thoroughly enjoyed my first year both working at the school and living in the city. Outside of school, I love both following and playing sport. If it’s competitive and involves a ball then the chances are I’ll be interested in it!

I studied at what was called St David's University College, Lampeter (that's in deepest, darkest Wales!) where I was awarded a BA Hons in Modern Languages. I studied, amongst other things, German, Swedish and Welsh. My love for languages was born when I was 14 and took part in my first exchange trip to Germany and from that moment on I used to spend my time split between school in England and school in Germany. I gained my teacher training certificate from the University of Sussex in 1997 and spent 7 years working on the south coast of England before my "Wanderlust" took over and I moved to Kiev for 2 years. I moved to Moscow in 2006 and was one of the founding teachers at EIS; I have seen it grow from fewer than 50 pupils to the busy school that it is today.

“I am excited about the opportunity to work at Moscow English International School. With my extensive experience of working in multicultural environments I am looking forward to contributing to the growth of the school and students’ future success”.

Hello, my name is William Mc Bride and I have had the pleasure of teaching Computer Science/ICT at EIS since March 2018. I have a Master’s Degree in Computer Science and love learning and teaching the subject. I have been teaching for 12 years + in the UK and the Middle East. Technology constantly changes and that is what makes this subject so exciting. The students are now working towards Cambridge IGCSE 0417; however, Computer Science modules are being introduced rapidly and eventually both courses will be available. Both courses are very challenging and that is what draws the students towards the subject. I hope to introduce practical catch-up clubs and coding clubs where all students can use technology such as BBC Micro Bit and raspberry pi 3 to increase to give them a glimpse into what can be achieve through programming computers. The students at EIS are a delight to teach and seen to excel in whatever unit of work they are engaged in, be that, practical or theoretical.

I was born in Nizhny Novgorod. Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming a teacher of Russian language and that is why entered the University to learn philology. I have been working with children of different ages for the past 10 years. While I was studying I spent every summer in the children's camp, and now I remember this time with special warmth. Before EIS I worked in a Russian school for a few years. I joined EIS 3 years ago. I love the school and my job. In my spare time I like to travel, read, go to the theatre and museums, and also I am learning to play the guitar.

I graduated from the Moscow Pedagogical University and Moscow State University. My specialty is philologist and linguist. My spare time I prefer to spend visiting theaters, literary and historical museums, conservatories, art exhibitions. Since January 2014 I have been delighted to work in the EIS, Moscow East as a teacher of the Russian language.

I like music because it helps people to be themselves, express their feelings and develop their best features. I have been teaching children music for a long time and every time I am so happy to see their progress. They seem like flowers which become enormously beautiful when you work with love and professionalism. I am also an opera singer and often participate in concerts and music competitions. I was honoured to win two International Music Competitions. I know that teacher is a role model for the children and I try to be a good example for my students.
