Frank Pinner,
Director of Teaching
I'm the Director of Teaching for Embassy CES Oxford and it's my job to make sure you are happy with your course and to help students with any study-related questions or concerns they have.
I began my teaching career in 1995 in Japan. I had intended to stay for a year but loved it so much that I didn't actually return to the UK until 2002. Since then I have worked for schools in Cambridge and London, which are both great cities but I like it here even more. I live a few miles out of Oxford in the beautiful Cotswolds and love returning there in the evening after the buzz of this vibrant university city.
A huge amount has happened since I joined Embassy CES Oxford in June 2004, including the move to our wonderful new building right in the heart of the city. It's a great place to arrive in the mornings! I've also been involved in the introduction of exciting new courses such as the Embassy Diploma of English and Embassy Diploma for University Entrance, and am looking forward to overseeing other new courses as we continue to expand our range of services.
It's hard to think of a better job than one where you work with people from all over the world in one of the world's leading academic cities. I hope you'll come and join us here.
