Sarah Smith is from New Zealand. As an adult student she completed her Bachelor of Teaching and Learning Degree through Canterbury University, Christchurch, NZ. Sarah then became a Primary school teacher in New Zealand while being a busy mother to Benjamin, now 26 and Meg 24 years old.
Since arriving in China, December 2020 she has taught Year 1 and Year 4 pupils in Ningbo. During this time she has tried to make the most of every opportunity to travel within China and to other countries, which she have thoroughly enjoyed. Apart from travelling, her hobbies also include hiking, reading, and going (inconsistently) to the gym!
Sarah believes in a pupil centred classroom so children develop a love of learning and for them to become emotionally, socially, and well rounded people. As a teacher, she also strives to build trusting relationships between pupil, parents, and teachers. Sarah is looking forward to continuing to grow and learn as a bilingual teacher.
