Daniel Willcocks B.A. Business Studies - Swansea, UK |
|
My name is Danny and I am the Managing Director at International House Bangkok setting up courses and programmes and taking care of the day to day running of the school. However, I am a teacher at heart, teaching all ages as much as I can and I also enjoy training teachers on our Cambridge CELTA courses whenever needed. I have been a teacher for 18 years in the UK, Italy and Thailand since 1997. In Thailand I have enjoyed teaching students from prestigious international schools and here happily with IH Bangkok for more than 10 years. In fact I liked it so much that I got married and my two children Jasmine (6) and Owen (5) come to IH to study English for Young Learners courses as well.

My name is Michael and I’m 25 years old from Manchester in England. I graduated from The University of Sheffield with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering. I earned my CELTA from IH Bangkok and, since then, I've worked at IH Bangkok as a teacher. Being an Engineer, I have a keen interest in maths and science, and I am delighted to be able to teach it along side English at IH Bangkok. My A-Level grades were particular good, where I received A’s in maths, physics and chemistry. One of my favourite things to do is travelling. I visited Australia and stayed there for a year, working and travelling close to the sea which I love. Travelling gives me the chance to meet people from other cultures, and is one of the reasons I’m now teaching in Thailand. |
