All About Miss Berkenshaw
PE Teacher | Swimming Instructor | Personal Trainer | BA Sport & Exercise Science | PGCEi I’m passionate about inspiring children and young people to discover the joy of movement and the confidence that comes from physical activity. With years of experience in PE teaching, swim coaching, and youth sports development across Dubai, I’ve had the privilege of helping students of all ages grow stronger, healthier, and more self-assured — both in and out of the pool.
My journey began with a BA in Sport & Exercise Science from the University of the Western Cape, followed by a PGCEi in Education. Since then, I’ve worked with schools and academies including Southview School, Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai, and Infinite Sports Academy, teaching PE, managing multisport camps, and leading swimming programs for ages six months to sixteen years.
Whether I’m coaching a beginner swimmer or training a school sports team, my goal is always the same — to make every session fun, inclusive, and empowering. I believe that being active from a young age builds more than just fitness; it builds confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love for health and wellbeing.
