Alisia Argyrou

Y1, Y2, Y6 English as an Additional Language Specialist Teacher

My name is Alisia Argyrou, and I'm from the UK, specifically vibrant London. I'm excited to continue teaching as an ELL specialist at GEMS Metropole for my third year, working with students across KS1 and KS2.

 

With six years of experience teaching English as an Additional Language (EAL) in a primary setting, I am eager to bring my passion for inclusive education and cultural diversity into the classroom.

 

Creating inclusive settings where every student feels valued and celebrated for their unique backgrounds and perspectives is at the core of my teaching philosophy. I stand by the belief that “In diversity there is beauty, and there is strength” as quoted by Maya Angelou.

 

I believe that by fostering a supportive and nurturing learning environment, students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

 

I am committed to creating a safe and comfortable space for each child to grow, learn, and reach their full potential. In addition to teaching, I have a love for reading engaging in philosophical debates. My personal interests often find their way into my teaching practice, where I encourage critical thinking, open-mindedness, and curiosity in my students.

 

As we start the new academic year, I'm eager to apply my skills and experience to support my students' growth. My aim is to provide them with the tools, knowledge, and encouragement they need for both academic success and personal growth.

 

I'm genuinely excited to connect with each student, build meaningful relationships, and embark on an inspiring learning journey together.
