Expat Living City Guide (Singapore)
Stamford American
David Diez, Spanish – Grade 9 to 12 Spanish
This marks my ninth year in Singapore as well as teaching at Stamford American International School, making my journey in this country closely intertwined with the school.
Teaching is a continuous journey of discovery. Alongside my students, I constantly learn and grow, finding new insights every day. It’s incredibly rewarding to make a positive impact on their lives and see them thrive. Building strong connections, witnessing their progress and inspiring creativity bring immense satisfaction. Teaching is a source of endless inspiration and fulfilment.
What truly makes teaching unforgettable for me are the day-to-day “light bulb moments” experienced by students. It’s that magical instance when everything suddenly makes sense for them, and you can see the relief and understanding in their eyes. Knowing that I played a part in their learning journey at that exact moment is truly gratifying. These moments are what keep me motivated through the everyday challenges of teaching, and they give back the rewards tenfold.

What’s new?
