Sarah Burns

My name is Ms. Burns and I am starting my third year at GEMS Metropole as the Head of Humanities, Geography specialism. Before moving to Dubai, I have lived internationally for over 10 years, working in the Dominican Republic and Myanmar and starting my career in  Manchester. I graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University with a Bsc in Human Geography and Social Sciences and from Manchester Metropolitan University with my PGCE Secondary Geography.

 

Throughout my 19 years of teaching, I have specialized in many different subject disciplines along side geography, such as, PSHRE, Leisure and Tourism, Global Perspectives, MSC and Social Studies and I thoroughly enjoy teaching a range of subjects and working with different departments.

 

In my spare time I love to travel and I have been lucky enough to travel to many exotic places in both South East Asia and Central America. I love exploring un-spoilt places, off the usual tourist trail and learning about new cultures.

 

I am extremely passionate about creating thought provoking inspiring lessons about the world around us, at the same time as encouraging independent learning. I am passionate about the environment and sustainability and this is something I am keen to develop in further in GEMS.
