Meet Our Trainee Teachers

Meet Fred: Inspiring the Next Generation!  

Fred is a passionate and dedicated trainee teacher specializing in Modern Foreign Languages, with a focus on French. Driven by excitement, curiosity, and enthusiasm, Fred's journey into teaching is inspired by his former economics teacher's passion and compassion.  

He enjoys reading books on geopolitics, especially those by Joel Rosenberg, and is a fervent supporter of Manchester City. Fred's love for traveling has taken him to over 23 countries, where he also engages in charity work, managing NGOs like KOMDIASOG and Teardryers with annual trips to Malawi or Cameroon. 

Fred's commitment to inspiring the younger generation is fueled by the belief that every child deserves a champion, as echoed in his favorite quote by Rita Pierson: "Every child deserves a champion – an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be."  

Fred considers his greatest achievement to be the offer to pursue the PGCE/QTS, marking a significant milestone in his journey to becoming an educator.  

Let's celebrate Fred and his dedication to shaping the minds of the next generation!
