Liisa R

I was born in Finland, spent some of my childhood in Germany, finished school in Helsinki, studied in Exeter and London. I got an exciting job in Hong Kong which soon developed into an opportunity to move to Singapore. Now I am here and there is nowhere else I'd rather be.

Currently I am working as a Musical Theatre and Drama teacher at Centre Stage School of the Arts. I adore working with children and young adults. Their creativity inspires me every day, and on the other hand I enjoy lighting their enthusiasm for the performing arts! I have experience in teaching in both local and international Schools in Singapore.
