Physical Education Teacher

We are delighted to introduce J.D. Monica Leonardo, our Physical Education Teacher at the International School of Phangan (ISPG).

Originally from the Philippines, Monica is a licensed physical education teacher who has been teaching in Thailand for four years. She is passionate about helping children stay active, build confidence and experience the joy of being part of a team. Monica believes children learn best when they feel supported and are having fun, and she looks forward to inspiring movement, sport and lifelong wellbeing throughout the school community.

A message to our community I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone at ISPG. I hope to create a fun, positive and encouraging environment where every child enjoys being active and feels confident to try their best.
