Sophie Laurieston

BA English Literature, The University of Edinburgh, UK 

Post Graduate Diploma in Education – English, The University of Aberdeen, UK 

Sophie, a passionate educator hailing from Scotland, has taught in an international school in Italy and a UK high school. As the eldest among five siblings, Sophie's ability to connect with young people comes naturally, so she jumped at the chance to complete her PGDE after her undergraduate degree. Teaching, for her, is not just a job but a cherished aspiration, allowing her to share a love for literature while nurturing and empowering her students. Sophie enjoys using the art of storytelling to encourage her students to be global thinkers and to cultivate empathy. In her free time, Sophie indulges in her love for travel, exploring art galleries and archaeological sites, cherishing quality time with her family, reading, and swimming.
