Daniel Pugsley
My name is Danny. I am from Barnsley. I have been a teacher since 2008. I started out in south Italy, and then did 18 months in Japan before returning to Italy in January 2011 for a second spell.
I met my wife there; she is from Poland. We moved to Krakow in late 2011 before spending a year in Leeds. In 2013 we moved to the UAE, where we stayed for 5 years. We came back to England in summer 2018 and I have been working at NESE ever since.
I got into teaching straight after university. I was a Law student at Sheffield Hallam University but I didn’t enjoy it very much, so I changed careers and haven’t looked back. Initially it was a way of paying for travel, but I quickly realised I love teaching. I now have an MA in Education, an L5DET (like a PGCE for teaching adults) and several other qualifications such as the British Council SEN Certificate. I hope to start my PhD in 2020.
Away from teaching, my wife and I have 3 young children. When I do have free time I am a rugby fanatic, having played since the age of 6. I write for a rugby website, go to the gym and read all kinds of books.
