Meet Mr Tim, a very experienced Music Teacher, and our very own Strings Specialist. Mr Tim has been with us for over ten years and has an array of interesting musical endeavours in Music. (Currently a member of the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra). Learn more below...
I come from a background of classical music performance and attended the Royal Northern College of Music (UK) with Viola as my main study. I was lucky enough to work with many world-renowned conductors and performed across Europe in Orchestras and String Quartets. In 2008, I became a Teacher and Ensemble Leader for Staffordshire Performing Arts in the UK.
I have always wanted to teach abroad so when the opportunity to teach at St Andrews arose I was ready for the challenge and adventure. I’m a High School Teacher now but have taught every year group from Reception upwards at some point during my 10 years at the school.
I have always liked adventure and in Thailand this is usually by bicycle, both in Bangkok and to some more remote areas of the country. I also enjoy performing music outside of school with Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra.
St Andrews is a very close community where teachers, parents and students are all known to each other. The students really make this a great place to work as they are always very thoughtful of each other and very appreciative towards teachers. It is a very unique atmosphere.
Eloise reflects on her experiences representing St Andrews International School at the annual Remembrance Day service hosted by the British Club in Bangkok. She expresses her deep gratitude for honouring the sacrifices of fallen soldiers and the pride she feels in continuing a family tradition while representing her school and community. Eloise emphasises the importance of this meaningful event in fostering remembrance and appreciation.
Students at St Andrews International School Bangkok have begun an exciting artificial intelligence project: integrating Nord Anglia’s “Misty the Robot” with conversational AI model, ChatGPT. Under the guidance of our Head of Robotics, Mr Rob Parker, they recently presented their results to Regional Managing Director, Mr Shaun Williams, as well as the Board of Directors at St Andrews, with the proposition of growing this project as a collaborative research venture across Nord Anglia schools.
With the goal of providing meaningful help to the flood victims in the northern regions of Thailand, our entire community at St Andrews Bangkok came together to raise funds and donations for the affected families. In the span of a few short weeks, added to donations of food and clothing, we managed to raise an astounding total of 386,676.50 THB in donation funds. To all students, teachers, parents, and staff who participated in our efforts and contributed to this cause—thank you!
