Our staff

I am a qualified teacher and special education needs coordinator who has spent the past {years:maria} years working as a principal at various schools in Helsingborg. My best tool is building good, professional relationships with my pupils, colleagues and guardians – something that creates a positive group climate, where achieving goals and cooperation are natural watchwords. I do this with enthusiasm, with relationship, motivation and communication as the backbone of my leadership.

I like to clear my head while running, or simply by spending time on our sailboat.

"In my role as a teacher, I strive to give my pupils the tools to develop both academically and socially. I'd like to quote Alexander K.

Anna has {years:anna} years of experience working with children in preschool and school.

"I started a preschool in Orsa, Sweden and have since been responsible for its educational operations and business development. Owning my own company has given me the insight that every child is unique, with their own wonderful abilities and strengths. My role as a preschool teacher is to discover these qualities in children and help develop them further. My greatest strength as a preschool teacher is earning children's trust and confidence, and with that we can build a relationship based on respect together."

Svetlana is also responsible for teaching Spanish in Years 1–3 and supervises Spanish for pupils in Years 7–9 and sixth form.

I have worked in schools and teaching since 2017 and have experience from both international and private schools in Germany and Spain. I am also a qualified biologist specialising in animal behaviour and animal care, and a qualified secondary-school biology teacher.

My strength in teaching is creating an inclusive learning environment where all pupils feel involved and seen. I place great importance on motivating and encouraging my pupils to think creatively and develop their curiosity for learning.
