Integrated Programs PYP English Class Teachers

As a teacher I want to inspire, support, mentor and get the chance to discover and share some of the best parts of ourselves as human beings with each other. All students are individuals, and everyone learns in their own unique way. My goal is to be able to unlock students' potential, so that no one is left behind. "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin

My name is Boitumelo Sello but you can call me Ms.Melo. I have been in education for more than 10years with the past 5 years focused on the IB teaching philosophy. Through teaching the IB curriculum I have realized that children learn faster and retail more knowledge when they learn from each other. I strive to use the IB learner profiles and attributes to  learning to give my students agency.

I hold a bachelors degree from the Nelson Mandela University in South Africa, a TEFL certificate from ITTT institute in Thailand. I also have a teaching certificate from Moreland University in New York, USA specializing in elementary grades 1-6. My teaching philosophy is that if we instil a love of reading and inquiry in the students and give them to 21st century skills they will grow up to be contributing members our society.

In IB schools i have been privileged to be the pyp coordinator as well as the grade level leader.

I strive to empower my students with a sense of wonder and a desire to want to know more.

Hello my name is Mr Chris and I am the PE teacher at Meishi international school.  I graduated from the University of Leeds with a bachelors degree in Sport and Exercise Science.  Since graduating I have been working as a physical education teacher and football coach.  I have worked in the sports industry for over 10 years in the UK, Hungary, America, Australia and China.  I have a huge passion for sports and exercise and my hobbies include playing football, tennis, squash and golf.

After earning my B.Sc. in Computer Science, I entered the higher education world to explore my passion for research and education, where I was providing lectures for Computer Science students, advising on their research, and conducting research on the area of computer science.

After my graduation M.Sc. in Computer science, I returned to my home university to continue my carrier and assumed office work as Vice-director of the ICT center of the university in addition to providing lectures and conducting research. Then I assumed a new office Vice-dean for research and dissemination of Engineering College, where I was responsible to coordinated and lead the engineering college research and development team.

I have completed my Ph.D. in Electronic Science and Technology in July 2020, my research area is Artificial Intelligence (AI) for image processing using nature-inspired algorithms. I have conducted five researches and published four articles on international journals and conference proceedings and the fifth is under review. I have also worked in primary education for more than five years. I am a teacher with a passion for education and research, with an extensive background in Computer Science, Math, and Technology. I believe education should be simple, engaging, and reflective.

My name is Lebohang Edward Tokoane, I’m from South Africa. I have bachelor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering  and Technology. I have Postgraduate in Education for senior phase and FET phase specializing in Physical Sciences, Mathematics and Technology.

My love for teaching started when I was still at the university tutoring high school students. After graduation, I then decided to become a qualified teacher.

I've been teaching for seven years. I previously taught Integrated Science, Biology, Physics, and Capstone Project in the Philippines (Research for Senior High). In the Philippines, I also taught music to students in grades 2-5 in the elementary department of a Chinese-Filipino school. For two years during my time at the aforementioned school, I served as an adviser (homeroom teacher) for grades 7-8. I enjoy singing as well as listening to classical and jazz music. I joined the Xavier University Glee Club during my university years and began to explore choral music. I then competed in singing contests and hosted a non-time show in my city. Teaching has been one of the most rewarding careers for me. Teaching has proven to be one of the most rewarding careers I've pursued. You are not only placed in the position of instructing and guiding children and young adults through the lifelong learning process, but you are also able to give back to the communities and share experiences that have opened up your future. This is my first year teaching at an IB school, and I'm loving it!

As I step into my role at Meishi I am reminded of a belief that guides my teaching philosophy: every student needs a superhero—someone who sees their potential and helps them achieve their best. My goal as a teacher is to be that support, encouraging students to discover their strengths and reach new heights. I am excited to work alongside this wonderful community to inspire and empower each learner.

I have worked in international schools for 7 years and started training and teaching in IB schools in 2017. When the teacher gives students a glass of water, they should have more than one bucket of water. The teacher itself should be a river that flows continuously and accommodates the sea of hundreds of rivers. The teacher can not just give students a glass of water ,but educate them how to get water, become a river, become a sea. In the future teaching career, I will continue to constantly advance in professionalism to actively learning and entertaining with students in IBIS.
