We are delighted to welcome back Ms Uziel Sakar as our teacher for Primary 1 students   Ms Uziel has been an educator for almost 21 years and she has spent half of that time in different countries.  She is from the Philippines and for the last 12 years she has worked and lived in Ethiopia, Sudan, Zambia, DR Congo and here in Indonesia.  

With a Bachelor's degree in Literature and she is on her way to finishing her Master's degree in Special Education, Uziel has pursued a career in Education. She has been working as a teacher trainer, inclusive education specialist, homeroom teacher, university lecturer, and ESL teacher.

Before she ventured out into international teaching, Uziel was an ESL teacher for Korean students of different age levels and a university lecturer at a State University in the Philippines. These experiences have sharpened her teaching skills and have equipped her for further work in education.

Uziel worked in Ethiopia as an In-service Teacher Trainer and Inclusive Education Adviser at a College of Teacher Education. She worked closely with the primary teachers, mentoring and training them as part of their CPD as well as introducing them to the idea and strategies of practising inclusive education. The experience with primary teachers has developed in her a love for teaching primary students. 

After finishing her contract in Ethiopia, she got a teaching job in Khartoum, Sudan as a P1 teacher at Unity High School, an international school following the British and Cambridge Curriculum.  She worked there for three years.  Uziel moved to Zambia to join her husband where she worked as a teacher of English and Literature at Banani International School - a boarding school for girls following the Cambridge Curriculum. During her time there, she successfully helped in raising the IGCSE results of their students in English (First Language) and Literature to a 95-100% passing score. After five years of being a classroom teacher, Uziel got back to development work and once again accepted an offer at a College of Teacher Education in Ethiopia as an Inclusive Education Specialist.  Thereafter, when she finished her contract in 2019, Ms Uziel joined Regality Academy as a P1 teacher.  When the pandemic hit she worked online with the students during COVID.  In 2020 - 2021 Ms Uziel followed her class up to P2 and taught them as their P2 teacher online.  As COVID was still prevalent Ms Uziel finished working at RGA  in June 2021, as she was in Kinshasha DRC with her husband and the time zones were difficult for online teaching.  In November 2022 we were delighted to welcome Ms Uziel back as P1 teacher.  She is excited to be working at Regality Academy once again.

Emma was born and raised in the vibrant and diverse city of Bristol, England. She moved to Brighton to complete her undergraduate degree in Fine Art: Painting. After graduating, Emma spent a year developing students’ conversational English skills in a large, inner-city school in Barcelona, Spain. The experience proved a formative one, and it was during this time that she decided to pursue a career in education. 
 
On returning to England, Emma spent several years working in special schools where she gained a Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (16-19 years old) and completed a Master’s in Inclusion and Special Educational Needs. Her elected specialisms in autism and dyslexia have broadened her teaching expertise and cemented her inclusive approach to education where she loves to teach the whole student – their cognitive, emotional, and social selves.  As part of her Master’s, Emma has earned the British Dyslexia Association's AMBDA accreditation in diagnostic assessment, and intervention/ specialist teaching with learners with literacy difficulties/ specific learning difficulties. 
 
These experiences reinforced how primary education sets the foundations for all future learning and are what led her to subsequently gain a Primary and Early Years (5-11) PGCE with English specialism. She has since worked in mainstream settings in upper Key Stage 2, in primary years 5-6. 
 
Every day, Emma says she feels lucky to work with young people in a vibrant, ever-changing environment where she can use her experience, skills, and creativity to help shape children’s lives. This is Ms Emma joined Regality Academy in 2020 and teaches in a Year 5 teacher.  She is enjoying immersing herself in the culture of Indonesia.
