QSI International School of Phuket

Hello. My name is Marivic Maxwell and I am the school librarian.

I hold a Bachelor degree in Computer Science. I am responsible for compiling and maintaining the library catalogue, and teaching the library curriculum to the pre-K and elementary students. I also assist the older students and teachers to find library resources for their projects.

My husband, Andrew, and I really enjoy working at QSI and living in Phuket. This is our 7th year at QSI and our 9th year living in Phuket. The kids are a pleasure to teach and the staff is friendly and easy to work with.

Hello, I''m K.Noi.

Before coming to QSI, I worked at a government school teaching art and music for 15 years.  16 years ago I started teaching at Phuket International School, which joined QSI in 1995, I have taught almost everything since then.  Now I am teaching art, music, and physical education.

This year the art students will do a lot of drawing, painting, batik-making, pottery, weaving, candle-making, flower bouquet-making, jewelry, and other crafts.  The music students will practice xylophones, recorders, melodeons, drums, guitars, and a piano.  There is also a school band that Mr. Jack is helping with.  The physical education students will stretch, run, jump, and play.  I love the students SOOOOO much!

The school has 7 success orientations.  They are: kindness and politeness, responsibility, independent endeavor, group interaction, aesthetic appreciation, concern for others, and trustworthiness.  In my heart, all of the students, teachers, and parents will follow these.

If you need help, come to me in the art classroom anytime, whatever your story is.

Hello. สวัสดี. Merhaba. Здравствуйте. 안녕하십니가. Goden Dag. नमस्ते. 你好. Goededag. nuqneH!

My name is Andrew Maxwell. If you recognise one of the words above, that means I teach at least one other person who speaks the same language that you speak… except the last one. I don’t think anyone I teach speaks Klingon!

I have been teaching at QSI for the last eight years. I have taught quite a few different subjects while I’ve been here, but this year, I’m teaching Intensive English, Media (Journalism) and Genre Studies. I also have an EFL Conversation Class for Parents as part of the new Parent University program, which I’m really excited about.

I hold a Masters in Applied Linguistics with a specialisation in TESOL from the University of Newcastle in Australia. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts and a Graduate Diploma in Islamic Studies. I take a holistic approach to language in my teaching because I believe that proficiency in a second language (L2) is developed by identifying it within the context of the learner’s first language (L1).
