Mr. Brown has over 14 years of experience teaching in a number of schools and colleges in Birmingham, United Kingdom and considers himself a lifelong learner.
He holds both a PGCE QTS Secondary and a PGCert in Higher Education and he is a member of the Higher Education Academy, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the Institute of Physics.
Mr. Brown took his bachelor's degree in Chemistry at the University of Derby and his LPC, LLM at the University of Law Birmingham and was awarded the H. Carl Moultrie Legal Scholar award 2015.
Mrs. CHEQROUNI joined BISC as a French teacher and languages coordinator for both the primary and secondary schools. Having an experience of about thirty years in teaching, first as a teacher and CNED coordinator in a French high school in Ivory Coast, she had worked essentially on group pedagogy, an active method allowing the student to explain, justify and clarify by argumentation.

Back in Morocco, she worked in AEFE Lyautey and Anatole France schools as a teacher of French and history. She then spent several years at the George Washington Academy as a Teacher and Head of the French Department. She also developed cultural awareness among students through trips abroad to have her students participate in the MUN-Foscamun conferences in Venice. She has mentored high school students at Emerging Leaders conferences in Richmond, US, where they were taught how to be confident as leaders.

For several years, she has organised various successful trips for her students to the south of France to explore Medieval history and architecture related to part of the curriculum.

Furthermore, she has also organised exchanges of American students with families in Morocco to discover the cultural side of Morocco while being immersed in French.

At BISC she is primarily responsible for teaching French to high school students and preparing them for the Cambridge exams with gusto. She coordinates the Primary and Secondary Arabic and French academic teams, focusing on the importance of these languages and how to practise them while adapting support and differentiation.

Miss Anissa is an avid reader of literature who participates actively in debates and cultural evenings.
I was born and raised in London, where I attended the College of Law, earning my credentials as a qualified lawyer. My true passion, however, was always teaching and I studied for my Postgraduate Certificate in Education at University College London. During almost a decade at one of the U.K.’s top-performing state schools, I gained experience in the classroom as well as my roles as Head of Sixth Form and Head of Department. In my role as Head of English here at BISC, I aim to continue to inspire students to strive for excellence, explore their potential, and cultivate a deep appreciation for the English language and its literary wonders. Outside the classroom, I am an avid traveller and theatre-goer, always eager to integrate new experiences into my teaching methodology. I look forward to a long career at BISC.
Ms Clarke previously worked in family and criminal law before retraining as a teacher. She achieved her BA Hons Education degree at Bath Spa University, followed by her PGCE at Plymouth University. Whilst working in the UK, she became Early Years and KS1 Lead, responsible for children's progress in schools across the group. When her two children became old enough, she was ready for the next challenge in her career, moving to teach in Thailand in 2020. This brought its own challenges, moving during Covid, but the experience was incredible and gave them all a chance to immerse themselves in an amazing culture. Ms Clarke is passionate about outdoor learning and loves to be outside with her children. She is often found kicking a ball around with them! She is very creative and enjoys art, textiles and reading.
