Kate George, Teacher Co-ordinator
My focus is on teacher development: I observe classes, talk to our teachers about their work, help them to develop their skills, advise them on training opportunities, help new teachers settle in, and so on. I also manage students’ departures (certificates, questionnaires) and have “class chats” with students where I find out how satisfied they are with all aspects of the school.
We’ve got a great team of teachers here, who are highly qualified and with lots of experience, but who are also able to relate to students and make classes interesting and fun. We get great feedback from students about their lessons.
I’ve been at the school for seven years and in this job for about three. Before that, I was a teacher in Moldova, Spain and Greece. I have a degree in English and the DELTA (Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Adults).
Although I don’t teach as much as I used to, I still get a lot of satisfaction from seeing happy students who leave us with great memories and better English!
