Stephanie Hawkins
English Support Specialist

Stephanie's passion for teaching in an engaging way was ignited whilst raising her five children. She was instantly drawn to the Montessori pedagogy and philosophy. Stephanie became a mature student, acquiring a Montessori Foundation degree in Montessori Early Childhood Practice, a Montessori Primary Certificate 6-12 years, an Early Childhood Studies BA Honours degree and a Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA). Stephanie has been tutoring English as an additional language to students from the ages of 6 years old through to adult for over ten years and, prior to moving to Kairos, worked as a Directress for six years in a Catholic Montessori Preschool in the UK. She has had considerable voluntary work experience with adolescents. 

Stephanie is British and has worked in the UK, Hong Kong and Malaysia. She also lived a good part of her childhood in West Africa. Stephanie has strong Portuguese family roots which is enjoying exploring.
