Jamie Robertson

Sawadee khap! My name is Jamie Robertson and I am thrilled to be the new homeroom teacher for Year 4 Blue. I was born in Lancashire, England, and I moved to the USA in 2007 to complete a football scholarship (soccer) while completing my undergraduate Bachelor's Degree in Organisational Communications. In 2013, I went back to university to complete a Masters Degree (MBA). After nearly 10 years in the USA, I briefly moved back to the UK, before taking a job in a government high school in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand. My role as an EAL teacher made me fall in love with teaching, and I knew right away that it was a dream job for me to be able to work with and learn with such inspirational young people. I moved back to the UK to complete my PGCE course and subsequently moved to Doha, Qatar to work at an international school. In my classroom, I'm a big believer in installing a growth mind set approach for both the children and myself. I strongly encourage a never give up attitude and that if we’re not making mistakes, then we’re not learning! I love to have children taking an active approach to their learning, as well as incorporating learning outside the classroom as much as possible. I truly feel that positivity is contagious and I aim to foster a safe, accessible and welcoming environment in my classroom. Outside of the classroom, I’m a keen football fan and support the mighty Liverpool FC! I also like to get out on the course for a round of golf (sadly, my enthusiasm for golf strongly outweighs my talent). I love to travel and have been lucky enough to visit over 35 countries and I can honestly say that Thailand is right up there with the best. I can’t wait to meet all the children and parents this year and please feel free to email if you have any questions at: [email protected]
