Houseparent of Girls’ Boarding
Brillantmont International School
I am a recent graduate of Oxford University. I was previously a Houseparent at an international boarding school in Switzerland, and have also taught EAL and provided University Guidance. I gained a CELTA English teaching qualification after enjoying Assistant English Teacher positions in Germany and Switzerland. In my home city London, I have worked in Learning Support for GCSE students with Autism and Developmental Language Disorder, and enjoyed teaching EAL to teenage boys with migration backgrounds. I also support students from a range of backgrounds with admissions to Oxford and Cambridge University as a volunteer with the education charity Oxfizz.
