Jon joined BIS in 2023. After graduating from university in 2003, Jon spent the next six years travelling, filmmaking and working for NGOs (in Mali, Madagascar, Libya and Paris). It was whilst volunteering at a nursery in Mali that he realised teaching was what he wanted to do permanently. He returned home to East London to train and qualify as a primary school teacher. Jon has taught across all age groups (Nursery to Year 6), and has previously lead Maths, English, Art and PE in different schools. Jon’s degree in languages has meant that he has always loved to explore new places, learn new languages and experience different cultures. A life-long Spurs fan, he loves watching football, as well as enjoying wild swimming, great coffee and cooking with his young children.
