I have been a teacher for 25 years with experience in Prep and Senior Boarding Schools. For 15 of these years, I have also enjoyed teaching students who are learning English as an additional language and sometimes have no English at all in the beginning.
I have travelled round the world, living abroad for extended periods in different countries with different languages and cultures, and I understand that starting in a new country can be difficult.
To have someone to help organise in these first few weeks can be very reassuring and valuable.
