Thomas Earl
Hi, my name is Tom, I am from Birmingham, England. I have been teaching for 10 years. For the first 5 years I taught at schools in England, I then move to Thailand to teach at international schools around Thailand. I have taught children from Nursery up to Year 3 across all subjects. I specialise in Early Reading, Writing and Mathematics.
The parts of teaching that I enjoy most are the little moments when something clicks, I love seeing the joy that these moments bring and how proud and excited the children are of their achievements. I would describe myself as a kind and patient teacher, I listen carefully to the children’s ideas and create opportunities so that they can follow their interests and express themselves creatively. I share in the schools inspiring vision and I am happy to be part of Lovell’s journey. I look forward to meeting you all.

Mary McMahon
Hello, my name is Mary McMahon and I am from Vancouver, Canada. My teaching journey started some time ago, before I even knew that being and early childhood educator was my career path. I was offered an opportunity to teach kindergarten in Taichung, Taiwan for six months before returning to university to study education. However, this six month adventure turned into ten years of wonder-filled teaching experiences. It was during this time that I fell in love with teaching children in their early years as they are filled with so much wonder and curiosity, experiencing the world for the first time. It was witnessing and being a part of these first encounters that made me realize I needed to know more than experience could teach. I came home to Vancouver and graduated from Capilano University with a BA in Early Childhood Education and Care in 2017.
My university curriculum was heavily influenced by the Reggio Emilia philosophy; which is why finding a teaching position at Lovell is such a fantastic opportunity for me as an educator. After graduating from university, I returned to Asia to teach at an international school’s early years program in Chiang Mai, completing my contract in 2019. Since then I have been working in Vancouver as an outdoor educator for local nature school early years programs. I am very excited about joining the Lovell team of educators, meeting the children and getting to know their families.
