Neil Roscoe

I’m Neil Roscoe and I have taught Science and especially Biology for over 20 years. My degree is from the University of Leicester and I qualified to teach at the University of Sussex, in the UK. I most recently taught in an international School in Shanghai, China, before coming to Phuket and also in a number of private boarding schools, including Roedean, prior to that. I am especially interested in the natural world and hope to inspire a love of nature in my students. Phuket is an amazing place to study Biology because there is such an abundance of life all around us, from the forests and mountains of the interior to the coasts - which include coral reefs and archipelago. It would be fun to explore all of this further, perhaps with students from HeadStart in the form of field visits as part of our study. When not teaching, I’m interested in travel and flying. I learned to fly small planes in the United States, which has brought many hours of fun. I also enjoy music and sometimes painting (watercolour), which can be really relaxing. I look forward to another year at HeadStart and helping the students to find their niche in life. With all that is going on in the world currently, there has rarely been a more exciting time to study Biology.
