Bronagh McKinley
Primary Teacher
Doha,Qatar
Summary
I am creative and passionate PE teacher, predominately primary based, who is extremely hardworking and highly effective in encouraging students to achieve their full potential. I have 7 years experience working as a full time primary teacher across both key stages, the PE environment as well as the classroom environment.
Every environment I have entered has only promoted my love of teaching, my relationship with my students and boosted my resilience as an educator.
My key strengths come from others which is why I thrive when promoting group work in students and teaching team sports such as football, hockey, basketball and rugby.
