Growing up in Australia, Tim Scarrott loved Australian rules football, both playing and supporting. Coming from a sports-loving family, he also played tennis in the summers and made the most of living on the coast by surfing whenever he could. Being involved in sports taught him the importance of being a team member, the health benefits of being outside and of exercise, and that we can always keep improving. His parents always taught him to help others and modelled daily acts of kindness that he tries to instill into his own children and the students he teaches. He believes in treating everyone with an equal amount of respect and to assume positive intentions. He graduated from the University of Melbourne in Australia with a PE major and started his teaching career at a public school in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. He then hit the international teaching circuit, teaching elementary and middle years in Singapore, South Korea and Saudi Arabia.
