Ki Mansell

I'm a Canadian born Kiwi guy. I have a few passions in my life, the first of which is teaching. After finishing my degree in Computer Science, I moved to Taiwan and taught English. It was a fantastic time of my life. I meet new people, and dicovered how amazing teaching can be. I was teaching a huge range of children aged 3 to 16 years old.

Once I returned to New Zealand, I got a job at a local preschool covering breaks and non contacts four days a week while spending one day a week working towards a post graduate diploma in Early Childhood Education.

By the time I finished my Post Grad. Diploma, I got a job at a small independant preschool. I was hired as the Head Teacher for the Over 2's area and was going to move into the Supervisor position over time. We had a fantastic team of teachers and I was extremely happy with my career.
