I am Fiona Root, a passionate educator and performing arts teacher who is thrilled to be joining the community at Dubai British School Jumeira.
My teaching journey began with studies at the University of Leeds, and I’ve since had the pleasure of teaching in schools across the UK and UAE in various roles across the whole school. My main focus is on nurturing children’s collaborative skills and self-confidence through various channels relating to the performing arts. Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing a child enjoy taking part and enjoying being part of a production, whatever the size and scale.
When I am not in school, I am an avid Latin American and ballroom dancer. I also enjoy hiking, and yoga. Beyond teaching, I’m deeply committed to animal rights and am a long-term vegetarian. I am excited to bring my enthusiasm for education and creativity to DBSJ. I look forward to working together to create a vibrant and inspiring learning environment where every child can thrive!
