Having been an aspiring football player, Phil eventually turned to coaching football and other sports inside and outside of schools. He also had a strong desire to read and learn therefore he embarked on a journey to secure his teaching qualifications. Since this time he has taught from year groups two up to six, in small countryside schools in Kent, South East England and a large East London School, totalling eight years. Phil has spent the last two years teaching at JFK and living in Saanen with his wife and one year old daughter. He thoroughly enjoys his time here, exploring the great outdoors, using the amazing local facilities as well as visiting the beautiful lakes, rivers, towns and cities of Switzerland.
