Vakleerkrachten

Hey hoi! Sinds dit schooljaar mag ik alle klassen van de Merlijn gymlessen geven! Super leuk! Mijn naam is Thomas Ottens (27 jaar) en ik kom oorspronkelijk uit Amsterdam. Na mijn studententijd aan de ALO in Groningen ben ik in Amsterdam aan de slag gegaan als gymleraar in het basisonderwijs. Sinds de zomer 2022 woon ik samen met mijn vriendin in Breda. Naast het lesgeven op Merlijn werk ik nu nog op een andere basisschool in Amsterdam en bij het bedrijf ApenkooiGym. Buiten mijn werk om ben ik gek genoeg ook voornamelijk bezig met sport: zelf hardlopen, wielrennen en krachttraining in de sportschool. Voorheen heb ik zeer lange tijd op hoog niveau geroeid en daarna ook meerdere jaren wedstrijdploegen gecoacht.

Hii everyone! My name is Miss Morgan, I am 20 years old and I am from Scotland. At home, I study Primary Education at the University of Glasgow. I am in the Netherlands for a semester to study and be involved in Such Fun! I am excited to gain a lot of experience and learn about myself whilst living here. On my first day at Such Fun, I drove the boat during the boat tour. Therefore I was Captain Morgan. My favourite things to do are cooking healthy foods and listening to music. I also like sports, formula 1 racing is my favourite!

Hi everyone! My name is Miss Rachel, I am 20 years and I am a student from the UK. I am originally from North Wales but I go to the University of Sheffield where I study Spanish, Dutch and Music. As I am a languages student, I have come to The Netherlands (for the first time!) for one semester to practice and improve my Dutch. I am then going to Seville in Spain in February for the same reasons but to practice my Spanish! In my spare time, I like to read and do sports and I am looking forward to exploring The Netherlands more during my time here. I wanted to come and work with Such Fun on my exchange semester as I am considering teaching as a career path so this was a good opportunity to get some experience teaching in different primary schools to see if it is something I could see myself doing in the future. As I am also studying music in my home university, I am excited about all the possibilities of bringing music into the classroom as I know this is something the Such Fun team is already very passionate about!
