Richard Green
Physics Teacher
My first year at Repton Dubai will be my ninth as a teacher of physics. In that time I have taught in a number of very different schools including three years in Qatar. Although currently back teaching in the UK I am very enthusiastic about returning to the Gulf, especially to teach at such an exciting project as Repton Dubai.
The facilities at Repton Dubai promise to be second to none. As teachers we are lucky to have technical wizardry such as interactive white boards, video clips and computer graphics to help us capture interest and aid clarity of explanation in our lessons-however, I have found that my best lessons often involve little more than everyday objects such as a paper clip, plastic bottles or a balloon – you can get a lot of physics learning out of a balloon! Children are naturally inquisitive and keen to learn about how their world works and I am sure it will be a pleasure to harness such enthusiasm at Repton.
