John Barron

MLitt student in Systematic and Historical Theology at the University of St Andrews, holding an MA (Hons) in Theological Studies, with a research focus on Catholic Historical Theology and the development of dogma, particularly in Mariology and beliefs about the Virgin Mary. My work engages with patristic, medieval, and modern sources to trace the doctrinal and theological evolution of these traditions, combining historical analysis with systematic inquiry. Passionate about the intersections of theology, history, and philosophy, I aim to contribute to scholarly discussions on ecclesial tradition and doctrinal development while fostering dialogue within Catholic studies.

Passionate ESL educator with hands-on experience teaching English to students aged 7-14, ranging from A1 to C1 proficiency levels. I have honed my skills in lesson planning, formative and summative assessments, and creating engaging learning experiences. I also have experience leading cultural excursions, fostering an immersive environment for language acquisition. I am enthusiastic about continuing my journey in ESL teaching, dedicated to helping students achieve their language goals through innovative and inclusive education methods.
