    Hello there! I am Alexandra Asbury and I am from Northwest Indiana, USA. I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography, with a high interest in Sociology.
    I’ve developed a great passion for teaching during my 8 years of teaching in South Korea. With the encouragement of my college professors to consider teaching for my future, I found it through teaching abroad.
    With my creative background, I desire to incorporate that as much as possible with all aspects of teaching. Art in any aspect is a desire of mine and I actively practice in and outside of the classroom.
    One of my teaching philosophies is that we are always teaching, children specifically, our students how to become people, not just focus on their academics. Their emotional, mental, social, and physical growth is just as important as their academic growth.

    My name is Mr. Callum and I come from Wales, in the United Kingdom. I have been teaching at Biba kids for the past year.
    I enjoy teaching with our robust curriculum and working to help students succeed. I am looking forward to teaching in the elementary program.
    Before coming to Korea, I taught English to students from all around the world in the UK, China, and Japan. Teaching has always been my passion which is why I pursued a degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages at the University of Central Lancashire.
    It is one of the most rewarding careers anyone could have as you can directly see the impact you have on children as you see them learn, grow, and succeed. As a teacher, I enjoy laughing along with my students as they learn in a way that is best for them in a supportive learning environment. I have been teaching English for almost a decade now and am excited to continue with Biba Kids.
    Outside of the classroom, I enjoy listening to music, playing the guitar, playing sports, and travelling. I look forward to working with you and to a successful school year.

    Hi parents and students! My name is Ms. Maggie Delaney and I am so happy to be teaching here at BibaKids!
    I am from Boston, Massachusetts. I graduated from Salem State University with a Bachelor's degree in Sport and Movement Science.

    Hello! I’m Nicole “Nikki” Cummings and I am so excited to be a part of the Biba kids team this academic year. I’m from Bloomington, Indiana, United States. I also graduated from college there at Indiana University with a Degree in Elementary Education.
    I moved to Korea in March of 2021 and have really enjoyed my time living and working in the country! In 2021 I had the great opportunity of working in two six-year-old kindergarten classes which I absolutely loved. In 2022, I taught seven-year-olds at Biba. It has been such a pleasure to watch them learn and grow throughout each year. I’ve enjoyed all of my opportunities teaching here in Korea!
    I started working with children when I was fifteen years old at a summer camp and developed a passion for working with kids. I worked at the same summer camp until I was twenty and in college working towards having my own classroom!
    I enjoy making a positive learning environment that encourages students to try their best each and every day. I can’t wait to bring my excitement toward teaching at Biba kids!
    Let's have an amazing year and make great memories together!
