Bashful Monkey teaches geography – though her lessons are less “chalk and talk” and more re-enactments of natural wonders (she does a very convincing waterfall impression). 

She’s a firm believer in hands-on learning – which once led to a school trip being stranded in a mangrove swamp. (“It was immersive,” she insists.) Her students adore her, mostly for her off-topic tangents and deeply sincere love of contour maps. 

Out of class, you’ll find her swapping travel tales with Clyde Capybara – or napping beneath a globe. (She says it helps with lesson planning.)
