He then moved to the UK, where he pursued an MSc in Internet Technologies at the University of Bedfordshire, followed by a PGCE with a Geography major at the University of Hertfordshire. He recently completed his Master’s in Educational Leadership with distinction at the University of Dundee and holds an IB educator certificate. Michael has over 20 years’ experience teaching at the secondary level in the UK KS3 to KS5 curriculum and the IB diploma programme.
In 2011, Michael completed the middle leader’s course at the National College for Teaching and Leadership, preparing him for middle leadership roles. He served as head of department for five years in a UK school before moving to China in 2018 to begin his international teaching career. In China, he became the coordinator for his school’s Somerset overseas educational programme, which immerses students in cultural and bilingual experiences in the UK.
Michael moved to China to expose his children to diverse cultures and opportunities, aiming to nurture them into global citizens. He joined BSB in 2019, his second international post in China, attracted by the school’s multicultural student and staff composition, which he believes fosters true global learning.
In his spare time, Michael enjoys staying updated with the latest news, which he incorporates into his teaching. He is passionate about technology, travel, and exploring local cuisine with his family. Michael is married with two children, both attending BSB.
