Our Teachers

Having a recognised diploma-level qualification in teaching English to speakers of other languages is a requirement for our permanent teachers.  In addition to this, they will also have extensive teaching experience in a variety of professional areas.  It is a minimum requirement that teachers have a recognised English language teaching qualification i.e Cambridge CELTA, Trinity College TESOL Certificate or equivalent.  Most teachers have a degree level qualification.

Within our established long-term team, a number of teachers have Masters level qualifications, some have qualified teacher status (QTS) and some have specialist subject qualifications.  Many of these teachers have positions of responsibility according to their areas of expertise.
