Staff
Our staff enjoy the unique international community and environment of Michael Hall School, that aims to create a culture of mutual respect, tolerance and fraternity. We are committed to continuing professional development of all our staff and to training new teachers.
The Teachers at Michael Hall School are responsible for delivering the Steiner Waldorf curriculum to the students, guiding the children to investigate core subjects such as language, history, maths, science and geography through creativity and imagination. They aim to:
- Clearly communicate with students, colleagues and parents
- Commit to each student individually, throughout their years of school
- Create lively, interactive lesson plans
- Push themselves to grow and constantly question their teaching methods
- Push beyond their comfort zones
- Think outside the box
- Inspire their students to keep progressing
Our Administration team works together to support the teachers, and the maintenance and kitchen staff work to ensure a smooth functioning of daily operations of the School.
Evgenii Tilezhinskii
Education Performance & Standards Committee (Parent Trustee)
Evgeny moved to Forest Row in 2022 with his wife and their four children to become part of the Michael Hall community. Their eldest daughter has since graduated from Michael Hall and is now pursuing her university studies, while their three younger children continue their educational journey within the Waldorf system at the school.
As a lawyer and compliance officer with over 20 years of experience, he has worked alongside boards of directors and senior leadership teams, supporting organisations through periods of both growth and challenge. He is pleased to bring his experience, insight, and commitment to support Michael Hall in navigating today’s complex landscape, while helping to preserve the school’s distinctive values and enduring vision.
To him, Michael Hall is more than just a school—it stands as a cornerstone of the Forest Row community, a leading centre of Waldorf education in the UK, and a compelling example of Waldorf culture on the world stage.
