Teacher's Profile

Andromachi

Role: Primary Maths Teacher, SEN Support, Induction & Transition Support, Primary Lead

Year Groups: Yr 3-6 Maths, Primary Lead

Degree:  BsC in Early Childhood Education & Teaching, MA in Special and Inclusive Education

Taught in: UK, Greece

My name is Andromachi and I come from Greece. I am teaching Daily Maths classes at UK Virtual School for Year’s 3 to 6. In 2015 I graduated from the Early Childhood Education department of the University of Thessaly and moved to London for study and work. I lived in London for six years and I have to say I loved it! 

When I am not teaching I love reading books, listening to music (especially songs from musicals) and colouring paint by numbers. Travelling and exploring the world is also one of my favourite things to do because I learn many new things with every country I visit. 

I firmly believe that education is the most critical aspect of people’s lives. This belief drives me to give young people the education they deserve, as that education is maybe the only means through which equality and empowerment can be achieved. Through education people learn not only to respect but also to embrace diversity.

Degree: BSc Major: Ecology, Minor: Marine Science, PGDipSci Marine Science, MSc  Marine Science, PGCE (Secondary)

Taught in: Scotland, England, Madagascar, New Zealand

Kia ora! I am Hannah, the biology and chemistry teacher at UKVS. I also teach primary science. Originally from New Zealand, I have an MSc in Marine Science from the University of Auckland and a PGCE from Brunel University.

I started out as a field scientist and educator in a wide variety of places, from Madagascar to Scotland. In 2016, I retrained as a secondary science teacher in the UK, where I taught for 4 years, before leaving the classroom and hitting the open road in my van. 

I love teaching science and will often take my lessons outside into the real world, wherever I am. My favourite part about science is the voyage of discovery and guiding my students to see the world through a new lens. In my spare time, I love any and all outdoor sports like skiing, climbing, SCUBA diving, and paragliding. I will try it all at least once!
