Yvonne McKenna

Educational Background

• BSc (Hons), Chemistry with Pharmacology, University of Liverpool, UK
• PGCE, University of Liverpool, UK

I joined BIS Hanoi in 2023, which also marked my 25th year as an educator. Prior to my current position, I spent 7 years teaching in the UK, before venturing internationally and teaching in Malaysia, China, the Cayman Islands, and Qatar.

My enthusiasm lies in Chemistry, and my goal is to inspire the next generation of chemists by delivering engaging, challenging, and enjoyable lessons.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy exploring different countries and immersing myself in local customs, traditions, and cuisines. I prioritise leading a healthy lifestyle and regularly take part in yoga or Pilates classes. Additionally, I'm a sports fan, particularly when it comes to supporting my favourite football team, Everton.
