Nicola Cherkaoui

Nicola holds a Bachelor of Arts in Literature & History from Leeds Metropolitan University and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from Durham University.

Her international teaching journey began 23 years ago as a secondary school teacher in England. To fulfil her wish to travel the world,  Nicola decided to venture into international teaching. She’s taught in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, UK and the last ten years in Qatar. She has loved her time as Head of Department in Qatar but China beckons and she’s thrilled to be joining the Wellington family. Nicola will be joining us with her twin boys and crazy dog, Alfie. Both boys are eager to begin the next chapter in their life at Wellington.

Personalised learning is her passion, and Nicola firmly believes it can be achieved through positive relationships, reflective environments and student agency. Nicola plans to bring her experience, excellence and enthusiasm for English and Literature to Hiba Academy Hangzhou.
