Michael Marx

Sawadee krap, my name is Michael Marx and I am originally from South Africa but spent the majority of my life growing up in Cambridge and Hampshire in the UK. I studied at the University of Roehampton, obtaining my teaching degree in Primary Education specialised in Physical Education of young people. Throughout the last four years of teaching, I have gained a wealth of experience working across the year groups and working with a range of people from different backgrounds and cultures. Outside of school I love finding new ways to challenge myself. Generally this is done through sport, where I love watching and taking part in Crossfit. It has allowed to me to develop my resilience in overcoming challenges and self discipline. I love my job and hold a great sense of pride for what I do everyday. I am excited to start the learning journey with my class and share with them all that I have learnt so far (as well learning from them). I aim to work with the children in my class to develop their resilience to challenges both inside and outside of school. I want them to have the means to make inform decisions to keep them safe and progress into an ever changing world. I also truly believe in the sense of community and that we thrive better when we work with one another. As we progress through the year and develop the children together, please don’t hesitate to come see me and arrange a meeting. I believe that it is important to develop independence and resilience in the children I teach
