Welcome to Jaz Beyond Teaching! I’m Jasmin, and I’m glad you’ve found your way here. After nearly two decades of teaching across the Philippines, Thailand, the UAE, and now Germany, I’ve gathered more stories and lessons than I ever imagined. These experiences have shaped not just my career but who I am today.

Jaz Beyond Teaching is a space where I explore the many aspects of my journey – education, expat life, personal growth, and everything in between. Through sharing my experiences, I hope to offer insights and inspiration to those who, like me, are constantly learning and evolving.

A Fresh Start for 2025

After a much-needed December break filled with reflection and growth, I’m excited to return with renewed energy and fresh ideas! This year, Jaz Beyond Teaching will not only continue to share my personal stories but will also shine a spotlight on others.

New Feature Alert: Starting this January, I’ll be featuring inspiring stories from others on the last Sunday of every month. These will be real, relatable, and uplifting accounts from people with unique journeys and perspectives. The first story is coming soon, and I can’t wait for you to read it – it’s one I know many will connect with.
