Yuka Nara

Yuka speaks Japanese as well as English. Contact her here.

My name's Yuka Nara and I really enjoy counselling students about their English courses. After four years of undergraduate study in Tokyo, I decided to come to the UK.

I still remember the excitement of coming here to study English for the first time! Everything was very different from what I had experienced in Japan, and I was discovering something new each day.

I really enjoy cooking, travelling and reading books - and I recently started playing tennis with my son, Oliver. Although we are both beginners, we enjoy it so much (good exercise but really hard work for beginners -anyone who has tried it will know what I mean!) .

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I will be happy to advise you about your studies with Embassy CES.

Henrik Gundersen

Henrik speaks Spanish and Norwegian as well as English. Contact him here.

Hello! My name is Henrik Gundersen and I come from Norway. Like many of our students I have lived in different countries and learnt new languages, and in my opinion the benefits of an international learning environment can not be measured. Besides, what better excuse to travel the world than having to see the friends you made whilst you were at school! In any case, my areas of responsibility are Spain, parts of Central and South America, Scandinavia, and Africa. So if you are from any of these areas, please feel free to contact me and I shall do what I can to help!

Radek Falkowski

Radek speaks Polish and a little German and Russian, as well as English. Contact him here.

Hello! I'm Radek. I find myself here in Brighton, pushed by the urge to travel. In the past this desire has taken me to many different places such as USA and Germany, where I brushed up my language and communication skills in German and English. As I originally come from Poland, I had a chance to learn some Russian at school and then practise it during my short visits to Ukraine and Belarus. Unfortunately, in that language I am far from fluent.

I have always found learning languages fascinating, opening the doors to many different worlds, and before I knew it, I became a teacher of English myself. Now, I'm happy to be a part of a bigger picture - helping people from all over the world learn the most spoken language on Earth.

Please feel free to contact me with any queries you might have and I'll do my best to help you. I hope to hear from you soon. Cheers!

Daniele Turati

Daniele speaks Italian, Spanish and French as well as English. Contact him here.

Hello, my name is Daniele Turati and I come from Italy. I'm originally from Milan, and have been living and working in England since 2005. I have a degree in International Relations, and since I was a student at university I have had the desire to travel to improve my languages skills, and meet people from different countries.   

Now, being part of Embassy CES gives me the chance to use the knowledge I have gained, to fulfil and satisfy all the academic needs of our students. 

I believe that living in an English-speaking country is a fundamental experience in modern society, which allows students to discover new lifestyles, and to communicate with people from anywhere.

 I'm passionate about languages, and apart from Italian I speak Spanish and English and I have a good understanding of French. My areas of responsibility are Italy, Spain and France, so write to me if you are from one of these countries and wish to learn English while travelling!

Agnes Vinkler

Agnes speaks Hungarian, German, and a little Spanish, as well as English. Contact her here.

Hello! My name is Agnes Vinkler and I have been living in England (Brighton) since 2005, working for Embassy CES since then.

I had been counselling students about language courses abroad for over four years, so I gained lots of experience in this field and I am certain that this knowledge will be useful when assisting you with choosing and organising the most suitable course for you.

I am originally from the Southern part of Hungary (Kaposvar) but lived in the capital, in Budapest for my university and working years (five years). At the university my major was English and I am a certified teacher of English as a foreign language.

I am interested in languages; apart from Hungarian (which is my mother tongue) I speak English and German, but would love to learn some more languages.
I used to be a competitive swimmer (actually, a finswimmer) and I still love all kinds of water sports.

I am looking forward to receiving your enquiries; please feel free to contact me. See you soon!

Bijan Hassanpour

Bijan speaks Arabic and Farsi as well as English. Contact him here.

My name is Bijan Hassanpour. I currently live in the UK, but I'm originally from a city called Isfahan, located in the centre of Iran. It's very famous for its art and cultural history (and it's definitely worth a visit).

I lived - and started my education - in various Middle Eastern countries, and later completed my university course at Brighton University in the UK.

I speak, read and write Arabic, Farsi (Persian) and English fluently - that's three languages.

My area of responsibility as a Student Enrolment Advisor is to provide help and advice for students from the Middle East, Turkey and North Africa - which I greatly enjoy. So if you are a student from those areas mentioned, I would be very happy to deal with your application and respond to your enquiries at any time.

So let's get you onto your course without any delays!

Hi, I'm Maria.

I am Brazilian, and have been living in the UK since 2004. I first came here to study for my CPE (Cambridge Proficiency Exam) in 2001, after several years of working as English tutor in schools in Brazil. I live in Brighton, a fantastic place to be, with people from all over the world. It's known as 'London-by-the-sea', because it is so lively.

I have a degree in Journalism as well, and I love fashion, learning new languages, travelling and - above all - music.

As well as English, I can speak Spanish, Portuguese and French fluently, so I am here to help you. I will be here, ready to help you plan your trip and your studies with Embassy CES, so do get in touch.

Birnur Yavuz

Birnur speaks Turkish as well as English. Contact her here.

Hello! My name is Birnur Yavuz and I am from Turkey. I began studying at Embassy CES in Brighton in January 2007, and then carried on studying at Embassy's sister establishment, Bellerbys College. Spending one and a half years at Embassy and Bellerbys turned out to be one of the most rewarding of all the experiences I have had so far in my life. It also turned out to be something that put me on the road to changing my life forever. I hope other students can find the same fulfilment: I got so far ahead in my life and know how much I enjoyed studying and how much I learned.

Now I would love to counsel students and also give some advice based on my experiences. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Merhabalar! Ben Birnur Yavuz ve Türkiye’den geldim. Ocak 2007`de önce Embassy akabinde ise Bellerbys College`de eğitim gördüm. Bir 6 aylık zaman geçirmem hayatımda basıma gelen en önemli deneyimlerden biri olduğunu ve bir sene değil, beş sene atlamış olduğumu düşünüyorum. Benim kendimi daha çok bulmama ve doğru yolda karar vermemde cabası… Her zaman bildiğim ama bir turlu ortaya çıkaramadığım bir çok şeyleri grup algıladığım bir yıl oldu… Yani kabuğumdan sıyrıldığım… Umarım tüm öğrenciler kendi hayatlarının doğru olan sayfasını çevirip hem öğrencilik hem sosyal hayatlarından keyif alırlar…

Şuanda ise tüm öğrencilere öncelikle Türk öğrencilere yardımcı oluyor her turlu sorularına ve problemlerine yardımcı oluyorum. Eğer herhangi bir sorunuz olursa lütfen çekinmeden bana yazın.
