Pupils will be taught their extra-curricular activities in Tianjin by coaches and teachers with great experience and expertise. Many of our coaches and teachers have reached the pinnacle in their chosen fields and we are proud that they can share their experience with academy pupils.

 

Our teachers have varied and interesting backgrounds in education as well as other industries and career paths. To put it mildly, they boast an extremely wide range of professional experiences and lifelong passions.

 

At the Wellington College Academy programme, every teacher is a highly skilled practitioner, driven by a love of their subject and wider interests, and a genuine desire to inspire the pupils in their care. They are usually English native-speakers, except for our various language teachers, all fully-qualified, and have the experience of teaching at leading schools in their home countries and abroad. Most importantly, they are completely committed to their responsibility of enabling every pupil to discover and unlock their full potential.

 

Moreover, the campus offers the very best in purpose-built educational facilities for our pupils, incorporating everything required for academic and extracurricular excellence in 21st century schooling. Few schools in the world are blessed with the facilities and resources available at Wellington College International Tianjin, all of which are designed to support our wide-ranging activities.

Louise Chapman

Prior to joining the Wellington family, Louise Chapman taught English at an all-girls 11-18 state school in Hertfordshire, before re-locating to Tianjin. In the UK, Louise studied for her BA in English and Philosophy at the University of Bristol, before going on to study for both a PGCE and Master of Education degree at the University of Cambridge. During her post-graduate studies, Louise specialised in researching the role of reading in secondary schools and is keen on developing whole-school strategies which motivate young people to read. After her second year of teaching, Louise was afforded a fantastic opportunity to accompany a group of sixth-form students around the island of Borneo for an entire month; a trip which sparked her desire to travel and teach internationally. Last academic year, Louise undertook a mentoring programme, run by the University of Cambridge, to become a mentor for trainee English teachers, resulting in her mentoring and supporting two PGCE English students through their training. When she is not teaching, Louise enjoys yoga, reading and watching live theatre.

Louise has worked with the Academy Programme for some time now offering Cambridge English Classes . Louise’s experience as English teacher in the Senior School enables her to offer the highest quality classes as possible.
