David Rowland, Academic Director
My job is to organise classes, teachers and timetables and to make sure that the whole academic side of things runs smoothly and that students get as much as possible out of their programme. For example, if a student wants to change his or her level, I will talk to the teacher and see if this is possible; if the student wants advice about exams s/he can take, I explain what is available; and if a student wants to extend their course, I will help them do so.
I always try to find a solution.
I’m one of the longest-serving members of staff still at Embassy CES, having worked for different parts of the company for nearly 20 years. I’ve worked in summer schools, in our Head Office, and have been the academic manager in our Brighton school (once) and here in London (twice).
I have a degree in languages and the DELTA (Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Adults).
As someone who has been with the organisation so long, I can really see how we’ve developed into the professional, yet exciting and innovative, school that we are today.
