Alina Pappel — teacher

My passion for teaching has taken me on an exciting journey, from my beginnings in Russia, to new experiences in Cyprus and the United Kingdom, where I gained my PGCE in Secondary Education in Greenwich University. This journey has allowed me to develop a diverse range of skills and teaching styles, honed in both state and private schools across the UK.

I am passionate about creating a dynamic and supportive learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential. I believe in igniting a love of learning through interactive activities, innovative projects and a positive classroom atmosphere.

In my spare time, I enjoy exploring and hiking with my family. We had a fantastic time visiting Snowdonia and the Lake District  and I’m looking forward to exploring Russia with them this year.

I know we have a wonderful year ahead of us, full of learning, laughter and growth. I’m passionate about Maths and Physics and will do my best to make every day productive. I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the International School of Saint Petersburg this year!
