Andrea

I am an outstanding teacher of English, formerly working as Faculty Lead of English. Over the past twenty years I have had a wide and varied working experience both within schools and in private sector business where I have capably held a number of personnel and project management roles. By completing an MBA at Durham University in 2003, I was able to develop my leadership and management skills significantly. I have a passion and energy for teaching English.
