About

Salam alaykum! My name is Mike Lyons, and I’m from Ontario, Canada. I have been an elementary teacher for over 8 years, and have taught in countries like Australia, Qatar, Mexico, Jordan, and Kuwait. I received my BA from McMaster University in Canada, and my teaching degree from Australia. I have visited Egypt once before, and I absolutely love the culture, food, and history, so I am really looking forward to making Cairo my new home. My favourite aspects of teaching are building relationships, and finding opportunities to establish a supportive learning community built on empathy and respect. I love helping students discover how they learn best, what their emotional needs are, and nurturing their curiosity. I am really looking forward to being a part of the BCISS family, and helping wherever, and however I can!
