Akash Parthi Bendran
Head of Science, IB Diploma Biology and MYP Sciences
European International School, Ho Chi Minh City
I have taught biology in international schools since 2016. Before Ho Chi Minh City, I taught IB Diploma Biology and led CAS at Beijing National Day School in China, and before that I was Vice Principal and a teacher of A Level and IGCSE Biology at Regent International School in Malaysia.
I enjoy planning lessons that put students at the centre, bringing in technology such as VR when it genuinely helps, and getting students out of the classroom: science fairs, an artificial reef project, and coaching the school football team.
