THE FUNFOX WAY

We don’t just hire qualified teachers. We train them in the Funfox Way.

Being an experienced teacher is the starting point. Every FunFox teacher then masters three things that most classrooms never teach at all.

Individual awareness

Teachers review homework before class. They know every student’s strengths and gaps before the session starts,  so class time is never wasted and no child falls through the cracks.

Game-based learning

Every class uses games, activities and peer interaction. Engagement isn’t a bonus at this age,  it’s the engine. Children who enjoy learning retain more and improve faster.

Sandwich feedback

Positive first. One clear improvement. Positive again. Every piece of feedback is structured to build confidence,  not erode it. Children leave class feeling capable.

Every teacher at FunFox passes a rigorous selection process. We look for warmth, patience, subject expertise, and the ability to make a child feel genuinely capable. Most applicants don’t make the cut.
WHAT PARENTS SAY

Parents trust them. Students look forward to seeing them.

Understanding teachers
★★★★★

“What I love is that the teachers know my son before class even starts. They’ve read his homework. They know where he struggled. That level of attention is rare.”

Parent · Google review

QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK

Before the first class, parents always want to know.

That depends on the class time you choose. We don’t rank our teachers, because we don’t hire anyone we’d hesitate to put in front of your child. Every FunFox teacher is degree-qualified, most hold a master’s, and all of them teach the same curriculum with the same feedback method. Pick the time that suits your family and your child will be well taught.

Yes. Your child stays with the same teacher and the same small group for the whole term, which is how a teacher gets to know what your child is working on rather than just what they submitted.

Tell us and we’ll move them. It’s rare, and it isn’t a problem; sometimes a child simply works better with a different person, and that’s a scheduling matter, not a judgement about anyone.

 Across several countries, which is how we run classes at times that suit families in Sydney, Dubai, London and Singapore. All of them teach the Australian curriculum and are trained in the FunFox method before they take a class.

The best way to meet our teachers is to experience a class.

Book a free trial class and your child will be taught by a FunFox teacher,  no obligation, no pressure, just a genuine chance to see what the FunFox Way feels like from the inside.

I have 3+ years of teaching experience. From the moment I picked up my first novel, I was captivated by the power of storytelling. The same passion led me to FunFox, where I help students find their voices, express themselves with confidence, and embrace the beauty of language in all its forms. My approach?

Teaching Experience and Style:

I have 3+ years of teaching experience. Growing up in the Middle East, surrounded by a symphony of languages and cultures, I became obsessed with the one thing that connects us all; language. At FunFox, whether it’s designing curriculum, crafting assessments, or weaving in creative elements (yes, sometimes even a bit of theatre), my focus is on helping students learn through new and immersive tools and games. From comprehension and spelling to writing skills, I aim to make learning something students look forward to while building their confidence every step of the way

Bradley

Teaching Experience and Style:

I have 4+ years of teaching experience. I knew teaching was the right career for me when I saw a student light up during one of my classes—it made my heart swell! I’ve somehow become one of my “favorite teachers” (their words, not mine!), and if you ask them, the only downside of my lessons is that they eventually have to end. From interactive storytelling to laughter-filled activities, my goal is to make language learning so fun that students don’t even realize they’re mastering a skill for life!

Clarisse – FunFox Teacher
  • Master of Arts in Education Major in Communication Arts- English (ongoing)
  • Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English

Clarisse

Teaching Experience and Style:

I have 5 years of teaching experience working with kids ages five and up, and if there’s one thing I love just as much as teaching, it’s stories! Ever since I was little, I’ve been hooked on reading books and exploring adventures through written words, so bringing that same spark into the classroom is my favorite part of the job. Whether we’re acting out fairy tales, playing word games, or writing silly stories together, I make sure every lesson feels like playtime with a purpose. My goal is to help kids fall in love with reading, because stories aren’t just fun— they’re fuel for a lifetime of learning. A child who enjoys books today grows into someone who’s always curious, always growing, and never done discovering the world.

I am an experienced English educator who is passionate about helping students see that English is more than just a subject, it’s a language they can carry into their everyday lives. My teaching style is conversational and student-centred. I take time to truly know my students, nurture their ideas, and consistently remind them that their voices matter. I aim to create lessons that students can hold on to long after class ends, lessons that feel meaningful, relevant, and lasting.

My goal is to help every student grow into a confident, creative communicator who feels excited to make English their own.

Joanna Mae Hadap

Teaching Experience and Style:

As a child, I remember the thrill of getting a new English textbook for the school year and immediately flipping to the table of contents to search for stories that caught my interest. That spark has never left me, and as a teacher, I want to pass on that same joy to my students. I want them to know that it’s okay to jump ahead, to be curious, and most importantly, to make mistakes. At FunFox, I’m excited to facilitate their exploration of the English language through fun games and engaging activities, because I want to show my young learners that they can grow, learn, and still have the time of their lives.

Genevieve Dizon-Panganiban – FunFox Teacher
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education

Genevieve Dizon-Panganiban

Teaching Experience and Style:

Growing up in a family of English teachers, I fell in love with language before I even started primary school. As a preschooler, I spent many afternoons sitting in the back of my mum’s Year 5 classroom, quietly soaking in her lessons, so much so that I was already pointing out adverbs in Year 1! That early spark grew into a childhood spent stapling bond papers together to craft my own handwritten storybooks.

Today, as a Special Education major and early childhood educator, my goal at FunFox is to bring that same magic and creative joy to my students. I believe learning happens best through active engagement, so I love incorporating music, movement, and interactive games to keep the classroom energy high. By building a safe, supportive space where it’s okay to make mistakes, I’m here to help young learners find their voice, build confidence, and discover just how fun learning can be!

Anza Manto – FunFox Teacher

Anza Manto

Teaching Experience and Style:

As a language and literature teacher with years of experience teaching the humanities across middle school, high school, and university settings, I strive to make the classroom a fun and positive learning environment each time I lead a session. I have always been a deeply curious student, and my love for knowledge has taken me across the world, pushing me to delve into varied subjects like film, literature, and philosophy. I sincerely believe that there is great joy in learning and pursuing knowledge, and, at Funfox, I aim to provide students with a low-pressure, high-energy, and, importantly, judgement-free space that helps them tap into their own curiosity and discover the joys of learning themselves. While working with me, students build strong skills in reading, writing, grammar, and speaking, and seeing them become more confident speakers and independent thinkers fills me with immense pride. I look forward to starting your Funfox journey with you!

Tehreem Ghazanfar – FunFox Teacher
  • Master’s in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
  • Diploma in Educational Psychology

Tehreem Ghazanfar

Teaching Experience and Style:

I’ve always been fascinated by the many ways language allows us to make sense of the world, express what we feel, and imagine what might be. My journey of three years through Applied Linguistics, TESOL licensure, Educational Psychology, and English Language Teaching has deepened that fascination, leading me to explore not only how we learn language, but how it shapes our thoughts, identities, and understanding of one another. I’ve also had the privilege of teaching adult newcomers in Canada, including people from Syria, Sudan, and Afghanistan who had been displaced by conflict. That experience showed me how learning a language can be about far more than communication; it can be a pathway to independence, connection, and a sense of belonging.

As a published poet and writer, I’ve come to appreciate the freedom that comes with experimenting with ideas, playing with language, and discovering that a story can hold more than one truth. Teaching brings all these experiences together in a way that feels especially meaningful to me. At FunFox, I hope to create a space where students feel free to question, explore, make mistakes, and discover their own voices, whether they’re building a character, reimagining a sentence, or finding a new perspective in a familiar story. Ultimately, I want them to see language not merely as something to get right or a set of rules, but as a means to practise and express their identity in itself.

Farwah Salman – FunFox Teacher
  • Bachelor of Science in English Literature

Farwah Salman

Teaching Experience and Style:

I am an English language and literature instructor with over 2 years of experience and a deep love for reading, writing, and meaningful connection. I spent much of my time in the school library and rarely went anywhere without a book, which shaped the way I understand language, not just as a subject, but as something that allows us to think, feel, and connect with the world around us.

At FunFox, I aim to bring that same love for language into my teaching. I wish to help my students build strong skills in reading, writing, grammar, and speaking while encouraging creativity and independent thinking, and creating a space where they feel comfortable expressing themselves. What brings me the most joy is the impact I see: when my students begin to connect with what they are learning, express themselves with confidence, and experience that same sense of curiosity and connection I once felt and still feel every day.

Elizay Khan – FunFox Teacher

Elizay Khan

Teaching Experience and Style:

I come with 4+ years of experience in the education sector, having worked across private and public education, development, and now EdTech. Over the years, what has kept me drawn to education is the kind of impact it can have. The work we do in education goes far beyond a classroom or a single student. It has the potential to shape lives and even generations, and that is something I genuinely love being a part of.

For me, education has always been about more than just learning. It is about helping young people discover who they are, find their voice, and believe in what they are capable of. That is exactly the kind of impact I hope to have at FunFox, and I am really excited to be part of a space where I can help students grow, find their confidence, and reach their highest potential.

Seema Falak

Teaching Experience and Style:

With a lifelong passion for the English language spanning from my own O-Levels to my Master’s degree, I bring over 17 years of dedicated teaching experience to the classroom. But for me, education extends far beyond the boundaries of any single subject; it is about exploring the true purpose of learning as a fundamental part of human existence.

Throughout my career, my core mission has been to create an empathetic, engaging, and low-stress environment where students feel supported and inspired. By blending interactive discussions, thought-provoking humour, and a genuine love for learning, I transform traditional lessons into engaging journeys of discovery. My goal is simple: to make learning a passion for every student, easing their academic path while encouraging them to look at the world with curiosity and wonder.
