Meet the Oundle Hub Leader - Karen Paone
Karen is an Italian national with 11 years of experience of teaching MFL in the East of England. After three years of Italian teaching in the Adult sector, where the age gap of her learners was from a 19 year old girl to a 92 year old gentleman, she decided to start a career as secondary school teacher. At Oundle School since then, she has been teaching both Italian and Spanish. Towards the end of her NQT year she became a mentor and she has gradually become more involved in the NML SCITT.
Alongside teaching and her new role of NML SCITT Hub Lead, at Oundle School, Karen is a tutor, a swimming coach and in charge of the Crafts for Charity Community Action school programme.
Outside the school environment, she loves gym and boxing training, Latin dance, baking and travelling. Her favourite destination is Spain, where she tends to spend most of her summer holidays to attend teacher training courses and full immerse in the Spanish culture.
